New Castle Products - Congrats Team

[Arct1k]

Just noticed a few goodies hidden in the new castle update...

Axial ESC


New HPI ESC


Mamba Monster XL

[V0RT3X]

MMMXL = Ice HV with car software?

[Arct1k]

Q-BASE Looks to be a variant of the Mamba Max Pro as it has cheat mode...

It also looks like the Axial ESC is brushed only and the same ESC is also going to be produced for HPI...


Congratulations Patrick and team...

[V0RT3X]

The Qbase will go with the new cheaper Savage Flux, 4S max:

Wonder what motor they will use?

[Arct1k]

Its says 2350KV but i'm guessing an error and the 2650 KV 1512 - Castle has a Flux style motor can for the 1512...

La HPI Japan ha presentato le versioni RTR con radiocomando digitale a 2,4 Ghz del monster truck brushless Savage Flux 2350 con motore “Alphastar” e regolatore di velocità “Q-Base” e il Savage XL con motore a scoppio da 4,6cc. Entrambi i modelli vengono compresi della radio HPI TF-20 2.4GHz.

Dammit man, I said I wanted the esc to be called the ICE Monster, why dont people listen to their customers!

So now it's MMMXL, one less letter than MMMIce so easier to type!

Curious as to the Axial brushed ESC and what it will go in? RTC MOA perhaps? Will it be like the holmes ESC?

So I wonder how long with this new 4s only savage the idgets will start trying to run 6s since it's and MMM pro and gearing for 70 then wondering why their ESC is blown?

Patrick is the XL the HV?

Any specs on the Axial ESC?

[Pdelcast]

The XL is the HV-ICE based MMM controller. We haven't decided on the name 100% yet tho... There is still some debate going on.

We did a LOT of testing today on the MMM-HV-ICE (or whatever we decide to call it) and got pretty much the rest of the bugs out. Extrusions are now in stock, still waiting on the last couple parts (fan, fan shroud.)

Should start shipping pretty soon -- still a little more testing to do on high voltages.


The Axial ESC is simply a low cost custom brushed controller that we designed for Axial.

great - more stuff built in USA (from globally sourced components for anyone in ca).

It looked like it might be 6s capable - correct?

Any chance of packaging 2 with that switcher setup and a bec?

Give us a little heads up notice on when you start shipping the MMM-HV-Ice controllers. I would like to be one of the first to "get in line" for this.

Thanks! Way to go Patrick!

Is the MMM-HV-ICE still limited to 10S when using motor braking? Will using 12S require mechanical brakes?

That's correct. On 12S the regen braking can over stress some of the parts on the board.

[BrianG]

Can a daughter PCB containing proper TVS's (and maybe caps) be used to allow 12s operation with motor brakes?
