New traxxas castle mamba monster extreme?

PS Dont know why I'm saying this but you should really get the software guys to imbed the png's inside the dBase III file...

Good point about rotational force Linc, I hadn't considered that.

Semi makes a good point about it being a game changer in the industry.

Big brother watching us r/c is funny bruce.

Patrick- I can't thank you enough for participating in the Rc-M forums.

Many 1:1 street bikes have Cush drive rear wheels.

I keep looking and it get's more and more appealing to me.

I think the most appealing part is the body and aerodynamic management that is incorporated in this. That is the thing that always got old when first I started doing speed runs with my modified fastlane/pede then with the erevo. It's get's really tricky to manage the airflow at these high speeds and having that done for you correctly off the bat is an awesome thing.

I like tinkering and all but aerodynamics by trial and error is a tough thing. It's much more complicated than most would think at face value. There were things I did with the pede which I thought would help that ended up having the opposite effect I intended.

Patrick, I want to +2 what Harold(paralyzed) said about your participation here, it is much appreciated and valued. I continuously point people here simply because of that and when posting information on other sites I always point them to the fact you said it here. Basically referencing my quotes to give proper credit and to show people I am not just talking out of my rear like many on forums like to do.

Guys i got an idea for those who intend on buying the XO-1..........swap out the speed controller and the raido/receiver baddabing 100mph instantly with no iphone/ipod app or governer!!!!I myself would run the mamba xl in this to by pass the traxxas's apple scheme i would also advance the timing and 60c or 65c batts!

But then you will loose the "on the fly" data\speed logging and setting change.

For that price of this car you are really paying alot\premium price for that technology, so its just stupid to swap it out..

As I said earlier, there's no way to tell from the outside what FETs are in the ESC.

The only way to get a guarantee of the getting an MMM with BSC011s is to buy a Traxxas XO-1.


Right now, the BSC011 is "standard" for a Mamba Monster, but the 4901 is still a suitable sub, because we can't get enough of the BSC011 to meet production for all Mamba Monsters.

Thanx!

I can't believe people are actually bothering you guys with that kind of question! It's not like the new FETs are that much better. People must thing the new FETs make the MMM 120% efficient.

Conversely, people will probably pay quite a bit for just the ESC/radio combo if you do part it out, so it's really not a big deal IMO.

I was thinking about this earlier, about what a part out would be worth on eBay.

At first I bet that ESC would bring $200ish, and probably settle to $120-150 depending on who wants it and how badly. The motor is a tweaked version of the old 1717 so I'd personally give $200+ for it. Surely the Rx/Tx will be worth something since they're most-likely going to introduce that technology into more vehicles over the coming months, right? Each lipo should fetch $30-$50, then you've still got whatever else I haven't thought of plus the roller. Rollers would probably start out at $300-$400 then settle down to $200-$250 once enough of them hit the market.

im betting your prices are pretty low, i guess we will see, im betting rollers go for 500ish for the first few months and radio's will be over $100

i was just saying for conversation what i would do im not buying one ever ever ever ever ever because i personally long ago cracked 100mph in a dirt oval e 36/25 gearing.My personal fastest speed run was 118mph.IM currently working on a neu 1521 2900kv 6s set up we have theoretically geared it for 129mph it will probally run better on 5s though.

Then it sounds like a tx and rx swap will unlock the carnage without a iPhone. How would the esc know the mph with only internal sensors?

How many do you need to keep the porduction line going?

A lot... we buy directly from Infineon, and still can't get enough.

Looks like we used about 420K last month.
