I some how don't think you will get a yes answer to that. It will be a smoke it at your own risk like everything else.

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.

well the MM was only rated to 3s and people put 4-5 and even 6s through it. So basically, going by that it means that the MMM, rated to 6s, shoud take 8, 10 or even 12s doubt it, thought I'd expect you could put a couple extra cells worth of V through it...

So is this "neu" motor going to be a 2 or 4 pole motor?

I'm sure you will be able to go higher V but the head room will get smaller and the margin for error less and the chances of letting out the smoke far greater. CC won't endorse Higher V.

How about public beta testing (that's what I was referring to)? The only person on this forum who is not completely affiliated with CC who tested these products was JRH, and there are a number of other members including myself who have been signed up as beta testers for TWO years now. But if you don't mind me asking, who all outside of CC is lucky enough to test the MMM?
(I realize CC is a private company, and can do as they please, but still: what's the point of even having a public beta program listed on the CC webpage if applying for it won't make a difference?)

LOL I am still laughing about the homeless guy getting tagged with the can of pop... ya sick puppy but I can actually se you laughing while apologising... I used to do mobile security and one detail was vagrant removal. after a few years of dealing with the same people night after night, you grow a little desensitized hehe.... I remember doing the bank of montreal. my last stop and a guy sleeping inside by the bank machine. 3rd day in a row same guy. he'd keep people from using it because he;d hit everyone up for cash. I was running late and really didn't want overtime.... so I just rolled the carpet around him, dragged it out and unrolled him on the sidewalk.... done, time to go home. I know he'll end up back in there anyway, so why waste 30 mins of talking.... they just use bus transfers to open the doors... oops did I let that out?

Finally the news we've all been waiting for. 6s at 200amps continues sounds perfect to me. Now to build a truck to use all that voltage...

I would never hit a dog though, that is just cruel.

Haha, I just pictured Kermet the frog throwing a can at Oscar the grouch.


I'm looking forward to this MMM. Sounds like it will be a good value system.

I think the headroom will be lower and i think if it can be overdriven, it will just be about 2s over the rated 6s max. Honestly, if i get one, 6s would be about my max.

[DrKnow65]

I'm sure 6S will be plenty for my hyper7, and one day the direct drive revo I hope to build :)

It won't be long till someone is trying the MMM on 7S, 8S, and up. Just won't be me any time soon.

I've been told a number of different stories about the beta testing from Castle at different times.

... engineers are doing it all in house...
... we are only using a couple beta testers and they are already chosen... (long time ago)
....it's already been done....
...we haven't got to the beta yet...

As I understand, there are local guys and a couple people in the r/c industry who get sent stuff to play with. My guess is that's the MMM beta program for the most part.

So I have wondered too about why they have people sign up but don''t bother to us them or at least send an email to say if you are being used or not. I was supposed to be on the "A" list for the Monster but after Shawn left I never even got a straight answer about anything regarding it, so I gave up on it a long time ago. I'm close enough to drive down to their shop to if needed.

In the end it's not a big deal... just another oddity from the land of Kansas LOL

I think they did say they're planning to make a HV version of the Mamba Monster Max, right?
