I'll add that too.

and sell lots of controllers - Nothing like keeping the customers happy...

Now if I could just finish decoding the settings file....

I know it's been mentioned before but auto LiFe settings. I change cell count, motors and gearing depending on what I am doing at the time. I can set Custom, but I have to have the laptop with me to change cell count.

Maybe Auto Lipo and Auto LiFe in the same window, defaulted to auto Lipo.

Thanks

Any update on this? Nothing wrong with keeping that Mamba cooler

I love fans unlike "some" people

MMM doensn't work wit DSX3S and the newest beta firmware.
Car will not move or suddenly it fly crazy and stopped.
I had to downgrade to 1.21 for proper working.

Here's a firmware update that I'd like to see for the Mamba and Sidewinder series.

When Torque Control is enabled via Castle Link Software can you make the following changes:

A) "Punch Control" is locked at 100%
AND
B) Field Link could use the Punch Control adjustment to adjust the Torque Control?

OR...

C) Add a flag in Castle Link to switch between Punch Control and Torque Control on the Field Link.

Thanks,

Chris

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but it would be great if the user could increase the amount of time delay before the ESC's goes into to reverse. The way it is now on my speed machines I always have to disable reverse because sometimes bad things happen. On a long breaking skid you can unitentionally go into reverse.

And of course, you are always stuck and need reverse when your car is 1/4 mile away!!!

Cartwheels - - you can set the brake lockout time on the Mamba right now. To go into reverse, you must set the throttle at neutral, and wait until the lockout time is complete.

This way, you can't unintentionally go into reverse.

Thats great!!! But I'm not sure I understand how to do this. Are saying leave the the throttle at neutral during calibration?

He stating that you can set how long the motor/ESC will wait before it allows you go in reverse. You DO NOT want to throw a forward moving brushless vehicle into immediate reverse or it will not be pretty. In my Flux's case, my ESC is set so it will not allow me to reverse until the truck has come to a complete stop for at least 1 second before engaging reverse

10.12.2009, 03:32 PM

Yes, but how do you increase the time delay?

shaunjohnson · 10.12.2009, 04:30 PM

breaks from going from reverse to forward would be nice too.
sometimes i run around doing reverse nuts and want to stop, but if i try the throttle it locks the motor and must put large strain on the ESC.
it has gotten better with the last beta firmware you released, i'll install the 3.18 and see if you havent already done it

mikey09120 · 10.12.2009, 07:07 PM

proportional brakes while in reverse please :D
should be easy enough

shaunjohnson · 10.13.2009, 04:21 AM

might be harder than you think...
if you use breaks in reverse then it makes it hard to pull the so cool looking J turns.

BUT, if the breaks are applied and then released while the car is still rolling, then the ESC can pick up the motor movement and then go forward again.
this is the only way i can see that it will work.
