MMM availibility date dropped!

It was used as a figure of speech. Not meant to be a real bet. But come March you will probably be glad I didn't take you up on that.

bahaha I'm still laughing, out loud too!

if not fans, are all you doing then is adding caps to cool things down? I have been following the rctech forum on the brushless 8th scale conversions, that's how I found this place.... 2 conversions later....

I am just about to mount the esc and I am trying to decide how I would fit a 2 fan setup in this one. ya I know search, and I am reading... so much info here I get sidetracked. 2 days I have been on the site snowbound at home. I am a long time nitro racer and after a nightmare year with engines last year, decided to get into this brushless stuff. I did run helis but other than play with cels, most combos I got worked without worry.

I have a neu 2.5d and running a 4s setup. going to do the cap setup (I read multi caps is better than a single large one, parallel I assume... just need to decide what to use), mamba max, castle bec, 5k 20c lipos.

any advice or links on this stuff would be an awesome help. this site rocks. I am so addicted now, and I love Castle stuff.

... Ahh the missis isn't going to approve the purchase of either but I could probably sneek the MMM past her .

You'll get caught.... And since your going to get in trouble.... make it worth it and get both :)


I was hopefull that Castle would come out with a HV MMM Those HV car stuff is always big $$$$ ... I would like to see a price affordable option, something that can handle 9s A123.

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.

i cant say who told me but the person i was talking to said the monster would be out in march and that there would be a neu motor to go with it

It's just that I think using fans is compensation for bad gearing. I generally like to add larger heatsinks and position them so they take advantage of airflow when possible. Look at the BL Conversions link in my sig; all my Quarks have added heatsinks and run very well. The two MM ESCs I have are in smaller vehicles so they're fine as-is.

Adding from two to four caps does help with heat issues, but you don't see as noticeable gains going more than that. Put them in parallel on the power leads as close to the ESC as possible. Generally, 330uF caps are the normal size to choose and find ones with a voltage at least 25% higher than the max battery voltage you plan to use. So, for a 4s setup (16.8v max @ 4.2v/cell), I use 25v caps. Using higher voltage ones is fine but they get physically bigger so placement becomes an issue.

I had one nitro revo for about 6 months before I got tired of nitro mess, noise, engine break-in proc, after run proc, tuning hassles, etc. I've always been an electronics type of guy so the progression was natural in my case.

HAHA, I once accidentally hit a homeless guy with a half full dr pepper. Talk about aim, directly over my truck while moving. I was trying to make it into a dumpster, but hit the guy digging in it instead, I yelled I'm sorry, but I do not think that came out well over the laughing. I would never hit a dog though, that is just cruel.

BrianG likes fans as much as I like MLST trucks!

So what are the final specs?

6s-18 cells
PC Programing
Does it come with a motor?
And is there an estimate of the price?

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?
