Mamba XL ver2?

[Shonen]

i conducted your test today because it was my day off and being greatly overpaid i was able to but 3 bricks, i painted one red, one black and covered the last one with flame stickers.

after some thinking i decided the most scientific way of testing would be to drop them, (it was less work than throwing them anyway) the red brick hit the ground at .23sec the black one hit the ground at .23 and the one with flames hit the ground at .23sec as well, but what shocked me was the c rating, both the red and black bricks had a c rating of 0, but the one with the flames turned out to 150c, i was shocked at first, do you guys think the sticker could have caused this?

what was the temperature of the bricks after your test? was the 150C one considerably cooler than the red/black ones? Maybe it was defective?

no. i don't need to see it to know that the black brick with flames and a 150c sticker actually fell a little slower and was almost twice its original size after the test. it also got over 150F. btw, this brick was "brand p"

Oh, RC-Monster. The only place where a thread about a Mamba XL controller can turn in to a bash MA thread.

And apparently the only place where the members can build a setup that will push any given lipo to its rated output. And I think this may be the only place where the members ask for graphs and "factual" info, and never get it.

I don't believe any post mentioned MA at all...

i have no idea what you are talking about? "brand p" was the only one mentioned.

back on topic: to be honest, i am not surprised with the failures that the first new speed controls have experienced. it is to be expected with any new, ground-breaking speed control. does this sound familiar to anyone? *cough MMM cough*
this isn't necessarily castle's fault in my opinion. everyone has been wanting these escs so bad and castle got it out as soon as they could with their customers' best interests in mind. if they wanted to, they could have made us all wait another year or so and skip the whole V1 and V2 phase, but i wouldn't want to have a nice baja ready for conversion with no available esc that is actually affordable. this is where castle shines; great prices, great quality, and top-notch customer service.

long story short, failures should be expected with new products but castle's awesome customer service more than makes up for it with free replacements or at least cheap replacements if it is out of warranty or it is truly user error.

Thomas Porfert, read the rules CC experts must stay ON TOPIC in this thread.

So, can you give us any insight into the changes that were made with V2?
