Bit of an anti-climax, seeing as its unfinished, but..... potentially using Neu motors, built-in CC Ubec, 200 amps & 6s capable.... and January. Now Im in a pickle- what will Novak & Traxxas have to compete with this?.....

That's what i'm sayin'.. looks kinda "puny" to be able to handle 200A @6S, AND to have their new BEC integrated into all of that.

Blimey, that is small! Well, smaller than I'd have imagined...but then again, the brains board and BEC unit must be underneath the power board which will add a bit of size once the casing's on. It's excellent to hear that it's going to have a the new switching BEC integrated into it though; that should really help keep our setups clean.
Another 3 months to wait, but at least we now know it exists! :-)

looks like their 'sidewinder' looks like a low budget OEM thingy, concerning it's in the 'media' area of their site.

They had some of those there too. They look like a lower cost MM style layout, a little smaller and not lights or usb connector.

The CB for the MMM has a larger footprint than the MM. To help with the relative size, the battery wires are 10 gage.

Well, the pics from the rctech forums look a little promising; 35v caps (would still add a few IMO) and 10GA wires. Don't necessarily NEED a large footprint if they are using FETs that handle more current each and have lower Rdson values...
