When for monster maxx? - Page 34 - RC-Monster Forums

Judging by the talk saying it's basically a MM with higher current, I'm not anxious anymore. I'd rather have a ~6s setup and use lower current.

I already gave up. If my MM cogs too much with my Neu I'll be in the market for a Quark or MGM.

I gave up too. Got a MGM 16024; up to 8s!

How has the MGM been working for you bdebde? Any things you would change about it or any problems with it? How are the temps with it while driving?

mkrusedc · 08.25.2007, 01:08 AM

Problems with reverse or braking?

bdebde · 08.25.2007, 02:18 AM

Haven't had a chance to try it yet, maybe this weekend.

My MGM 12032 seems good, but not really smooth.

With what motor Alawi?

captain harlock · 08.25.2007, 08:11 AM

With the 1950/10.
The power is really high, but the motor vibrates like crazy when it's revolving up to it's highest rpm. I'm using 6s with 20T/36T gearing in a slipperential, and I noticed that the motor becomes a bit hot after a few minutes of running while the controller is quite cool. The batts seem warm a bit, too. Any explanations?:(

jnev · 08.25.2007, 10:43 AM

Possibly under geared, but I don't understand how with a 20t pinion...

captain harlock · 08.25.2007, 11:12 AM

Neither do I, Josh...neither do I...

Well, 6S, with that setup; it's geared for ~60 km/h, you can gear it for 75km/h..

Patrick del Castillo sounded so sure when he said something about releasing the MMM in here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...=683583&page=5 and still nothing. I've seen people give up on CC MMM and go with MGM and Quark. The MMM should've been out before Summer. Wait a few days and I might post something in here as well as in the Tekin's R1 MT thread.

kulangflow · 08.25.2007, 01:28 PM

I spoke with someone at Castle yesterday about the MMM. He said the controller is ready to go, but they're having trouble coming up with a motor that's efficient enough to pair with it.

He said they'd like to sell the controller now by itself, but they'd have to find a strategic way to require that you only use Neu motors until they come out with their own. They were even going to have Neu build their motors, but they'd never be able to keep up with demand.

They want to keep up their good warranty reputation, but they don't want to support people using their controller with crappy motors, then having the crappy motors seize up and fry the controller.

Interesting stuff ...
