I have already tried, it works.

I have tried it and didn't see any changes. What are your settings?

Still didn't find any changes?

I did try it in my MBX5T with a Mega ACn22/30/2 and it was much smoother before this update, but for some reason it is not smooth at all in my TC3 with the Trinity N80.

Go under "downloads" and then Mamba max history: www.castlecreations.com
It helps to open the castle program first, well atleast with Vista it detects an update. Something new to tinker with.

How high is your rollout ratio? How many cells?

The TC3 has a 69T spur now and 30T pinion and 2S lipos. Final gear ratio is 5.75 rollout around 35mm. This set up is working nice with my other controller. The MM did work with the Mega ACn22/30/2 though. Before the update I tried it in my MBX5T and it was cogging, but now it's much better.

Just talked to Joe for a bit about it, and he said to try and gear up a touch. The rollout you have is very tall.

The ESC that I have in the TC3 is working really well with the 69T spur and 30T pinion combo. I'll use that one for now. I have to get some time to get out and mail the controller to Castle. I also didn't mail my HV110 and will see if they can get that one fixed as well.

Which motor would be the better choice for a Sidewinder in a CRT.5 the 4600 or 5700. I just want to buy the combo for playing around in the street and at the park, just not sure which motor. Pinion gear too, not sure on that, just looking for some speed and to be able to bash around on a desert like terrain.

Thanks.
