Nice work!

Now why can't Castle do with the MMM in over a year what Artur has done single handedly in... a month??

suicideneil · 06.24.2007, 06:13 PM

Because they dont have Arthur working for them! The man is a genious....

MetalMan · 06.24.2007, 11:39 PM

Wow, and it still looks good! I think my Revo could use one of these...

Wow, looks great Artur! It seems to run very smooth as well. Is that you braking? I hope? :005: Should run nice and cool with dual power boards and those large caps on there, very nice work man. Congrats!

Wait till you see the Quark controller I'm rigging up. ;)

Q. Did you ever findout how manu cells a HvMaxx will run without going pop? 18 cells would certainly be a nice bit of speed, provided the motor bearing could hold up.....

Couple tests here and there and then I will mail it to Mike for full-scale testing...

My HV-Maxx controller start losing control with 16 cells. I tried to modify it, but end up blowing internal caps.

P.S. Thank you everyone for comments, we will see how it works under the load.

Bummer. Im sure Mike will give the MM a thorough work out though. If it does go well, you'll have to think of a name for it...

I'm modding my mamba max as per your instructions. I'm not sure which TVS to order. Could you post a digi-key part number for the TVS you used in the stage 1 mod.

Thank You Rene,
Grand Canyon fantastic place, last week was in Vegas...

By the way mod3a and mod3b is coming soon.

Mod3a 5S 300A (~500A at 25C)
Mod3b 15S 100A (~250A at 25C)

For 15S version to set voltage cut off I'm planning to use trimpot or jumpers, which one you will prefer? I am trying to use the same MM software but to make a walk around :)

Serum · 10.06.2007, 02:53 AM

The trimpot would use smaller footprint, so i would go for a trimpot.

Have fun in the GC! we had a good time in the US as well. (NY, VT)

Damn, a 5s MM capable of 300amps or more? I think Lutach has some competition.....

LOL. I won't be competing yet. The engineer is having trouble programming the ESC for car use. I can only say that the 100A controller that he sent me had the best start up compared to all my BL ESCs.

Smaller footprint yes, but trimpots tend to get dirty and then you have to consider wear over time if tuned a lot. Jumpers are bigger, but better IMO.
