Is Castle going to release the MMM to the general masses with the new FETs, or are those FETs only for the crippled MMM? Hopefully I can just pick up a newer MMM with the newer FETs and add my own cap bank on it and be good to go without the Traxxas police dictating how I should run something.

Sorry Pat, I'm not angry at you guys, I know it's a Traxxas thing...

BUT, it gives you a good excuse to buy an Iphone.

Of course you could always borrow one just to unlock it.

Go to the AT&T store, grab an iphone off the display, download the app, agree to the waiver, and unlock...

lol, no thanks. I have a personal "thing" against Apple (more or less about mediocre hardware for inflated price). My wife has a Mac because it's supposedly "easier to use" or whatever, but oddly enough she's always asking me to do some tinkering on it. And, she's actually running WinXP in VirtualBox because there are some things that *gasp* Mac can't do.

So what do we think street price will be? Once the BS calms down, say next summer?

Is that your ride Patrick?

Yeah, but it PALES in comparison to the rides at Traxxas.

I've seen at Traxxas in the parking lot -- Viper ACR, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 430...

And at HPI -- Ferrari Enzo

My Nissan just doesn't compare.

So that's where the driver of that Lamborghini works. Seen it a few times while on my route.

Who else thinks those Revo diffs won't be able to handle those speeds?

That new FET looks to be pretty good by itself, nevermind 12 of them per phase. Just need some like that with the same specs, except good for ~60v.

Why do I get the feeling that we will be ordering pizza again in the near future...

Only if CC provides the secret unlock code - maybe make it an Easter Egg in the CL app.

LOL! Yeah --

We will be publishing a .dll for the Castle Link Live protocol soon.

We are very happy that Traxxas decided to use our sensor protocol for their new radio. They really did a terrific job on the new radio and bidirectional communications system.

Having the ESC temp, RPM, speed, etc. available for display on the radio is very very nice.

Are there any plans for a 'module' of some sort so that regular MMM owners can make use of the telemetry feed as such ( like the eagletree live view ), or something akin to this little wonder?..

Plans? Of course we have plans!

Whether we have time to implement them is the question...

My god this is a thing of beauty! I really need to get this new mmm extreme and 1717 combo! Ive got an on road project that needs this in it. Sexy is the only word that comes to mind right now! SEXY...but a thousand bucks for an on road rtr? Thats a bit much for me personally, BUT I know there are plenty of deep pockets that will shell it out. Gosh, a thousand bucks the 1.1 I drive only cost 1300 and Ive been driving it for two years now. Sheesh. BTW when does this rig come out guys?
