I like that name, even though it reminds me of Kobe Bryant.

I think Black Mamba would be a most excellent name for sure. I can't remember which is more deadly though, the black or the green? I know that with one you know you've been bitten and you die shortly after while with the deadlier you just die. Sucks either way though.

I was also thinking in keeping with the snake theme that you have sidewinder for the more tame controllers, Mamba for the mid range group, maybe the new guy should be the King Cobra? Or Anaconda? Please take these suggestions as tongue in cheek as they are meant. However if one of my names is chosen I expect royalties in the form of a free controller.

Most likely "Mamba Ice HV" in keeping with current naming schemes.

+1, sounds good and it's short(ish). Makes me look at the gasser in my Baja and think "Hmmmm..."

[brushlessboy16]

My vote is for the Cobra

For some reason or other I thought you would go for the Black Mamba.

Don't know where i got that idea though..................

Sure glad I didn't place any bets on it either.

So whatever happened to "black is nice"?

I just noticed you changed that

lol

The trouble with the snake naming convention is that it is self-limiting. To give room for future growth, you'd have to start by calling the Mamba something more like "garden snake".

The product line needs to be split into segments. Something like the lower-end (Sidewinder), mid-range (Mamba), and upper-end (Viper). And then add numbers/letters to the end of the name for specific model and/or generation.

I keep seeing in the magazines on castle's ads

"Whats neXt

Soo maybe Mamba X

[Kcaz25]

X Mamba for Xtra Mamba! LOL or Mamba X for Mamba Xtra! Saweet!

[simplechamp]

I still am wondering, is the Q-Base ESC the exact same as the MMP (besides solder posts) or does it have lower-rated components that allow it to only be rated for 4S?

[Muggydude]

I like the Anaconda HV power system. And the Mamba Ice HV

[snellemin]

Saw this today. 7/19/10 firmware

New Feature: Torque control - limits the amount of torque applied to wheels during acceleration.
