This looks like a decent upgrade that should allow running some previously unusable motors with the MM.

Makes sense since Novak uses slotted stators, just like Neu...

I have not tryed it on a 4 poler, but i updated all three of mine. They all seem to feel better and start slower than before the update. I expect that they shopuld run cooler due to better startup

One thing about my test video, that 4s pack was basically dead when I did the tests, so it's possible that skewed the "after" part.

Anybody else notice how the frequency during braking has also changed? Makes that Neu sound really weird!

All I can say it is working with a 6 pole Mega using 4S lipos and that is good. I did try to use 6S and that was a no go.

BrianG · 01.22.2008, 06:05 PM

lol, 6s? Did you really expect it to work at 6s? How about something a little more reasonable like 5s...

Interesting - downloaded 3.03 just before leaving work. Got home and all of a sudden 3.04 was available. Wonder what changed?

lutach · 01.22.2008, 06:49 PM

Odd. I downloaded again.

lutach · 01.22.2008, 06:53 PM

New firmaware as well. 1.17

Bug fix - It has gone to final now

Force a full re-arm after manual programming
Minor bug: setting drag brake via stick programming showed a custom value of 1% below the desired value on Castle Link
Minor bug: Loading and saving programming information to a file did not properly update calibration data

I just fried my MM. This stinks. I downloaded the new firmware and I just tried it again in my TC3. Plugged the 2S lipos and as soon as I turned the MM on, a few sparks came out.

Want to trade one of your HW speedos for one of my MM? :)

My HW is kicking butt. Drove it today until it hit the cut off and got 25 minutes run time. I might have found the right gearing for my TC3 and HW/N80 combo.

well i tried the update on a novak hv 4.5 motor in the xt8 and it was much better as well, still cogged, but gearing way down may make it drivable but the kv rating is to high, the calc. said it was like 72k rpms and 85 mph, so i wont be running this!!!!!

cant wait till more reply, i think a neu is my next step

, as long as it this fixes the cogging

I am used to deadband being expressed as a % of the throttle travel. There doesn't seemto be any documentation on how Castle is expressing it in milliseconds. Also the milliseconds ratings of the trasmitter calibration seem odd. Any thoughts?
