MMM availibility date dropped!

Good point, I like the way you think. This would be me and this would be the misses .

PS: If you see a homeless guy with a little black dog don't throw bottles.

Hey there Mt are you working? If so why don't you put your foot down about how you spend your hard earned money? Show her who wears the pants in your family..... Life is too short to be pushed around by the woman in your life. Sometimes you just have to go for it and do it your way. You could live your last day at any time you know?

The woman isn't really that bad. I just use her as my excuse. I do work and I am paid well (maybe not that well) but being young and having lots of bills and rent and saving for a house at the same time doesn't leave a lot of spending money for me, especially after the repair bills .

And I know what you mean about any day could be your last. I ride to work down the road and every day I get on the bike I pray the tools who think it's clever to drive down the cycle lane to give the cyclist a fright don't actually hit me. Or the people who pull out in front of me cause they don't realise I'm doing 50kmh (down hill with tail wind ).

Are we there yet?...Are we there yet?
This all seems like an endless roadtrip.
Just when you think you're getting closer to the trees on the horizon by driving over the hill, there's another looong stretch of highway you have to sit through!
If you think about it, both situations are like illusions.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry since practically all of my time goes into studying to become an electrical engineer.
My trucks are getting neglected ever since the semester started.
I know I won't be among the first to get one so I'll just let you guys have all the fun.

I thought it turned out that those dual 3s packs were running in parallel instead of series? Even with the older version, I only know of people running 5s, and don't remember anyone running 6s...

[jhautz]

I thought the caps and fets on the MM were 25v components. If you run them on a fully charged 6s pack that would be 25.2v

Thats a littel close for comfort on the MM. The MMM will likely be 35v or 50v components. if they are going to spec it at 6s. They gotta have room for any voltage spikes when braking on a near full battery.

I too only know of 5s being used in a MM, but here are mine and mega's emails about the subject.

Here's mine ;

I just read the article on the Losi 8ight electric you built for robinson racing, I have a few questions. Is the battery setup parallel or series? What gearing is it set up for? And, what are the speeds is it setup for? I aksed the magazine and they said it was parallel and it run 40 MPH. Looking at the gearing diff ratio and tire size, I don't think it would do what they said in parallel, It would need a 32 tooth pinion to pull that off, in my opinion
thank you

here is Mega's reply;

Larry:

It is wired in series. 22 Volts at 2200 MAH.
We used a 17 tooth pinion for general use and an 18 tooth for top speed of 48 mph.
It draws more current at 18 tooth so run time is less. 2200 Mah is a small cell for this use.

17 tooth would be good on a track. You can not run 48 mph on most tracks. Energy use is better. In one case we used 100 Mah per minute of run time.

<-- Outta here. I don't like angry wolves anywhere near me!

[legobrains]

What will the KV rating be on the packaged motor Joe?

and which one first? or will all be available at the same time?

[Sower]

I think they'll be offering three motor choices - 1500 2000 and 2200. Is that right Joe?

[phatmonk]

Joe will the Neu motor have the 5mm shaft? will the motor be the same length,diameter,Finned case what are the similaritiesThanks for the mm software upgrade it has eliminated the cogging in my Neu 1515/1.5d/f in my Brushless Losi 8ight T.

Great to see you here Joe. That is what I want to know too. If it is just going to be the higher kv motor i'll probably grab another motor until the lower kv combos are released.

[Sammus]

thats awesome! My bday is march! looks like it will be a timely upgrade from my cheapo esc/motor combo :D

[BrianG]

March what? Just curious cause mine's the 25th...

[Sammus]

5/3/85 right here or as you might prefer to see it.... 3/5/85 :P
