MM Pro. The perfect controller for my Hyper ST- 5s with a Neu 1512 2.5d.... This is a dream come true- The MMM is too big because I've found that the MM is about the max size I can fit on my radio tray with my receiver also, and I don't want to push either of my MM's over 4s. On the BEC for the MM Pro, can you make it so that it can handle a very high torque servo easier than the CC BEC? I have a bit of stuttering when I use the CC BEC with my DS8711 in my E-maxx. (Yes, I have verified that it is the BEC and servo combo, the BEC works fine with any other servo, and the servo works fine with a 5 cell RX pack.) Do you have an approximate release date/price for the MM Pro? You could call it MM-R or something.

MMR = Measles, Mumps & Rubella vaccine...

I think an MM pro would fill the gap between a 4s and 6s controller nicely, and guys wont mind paying a few $ extra for the higher voltage handling, and better heatsink and no USB port. Add to that an 8s MMM, and 12s BF-ESC, and Castle would be king of the... um, castle.

An MM Pro with 5s capability sounds perfect for anyone who wants some awesome power with their buggy, truggy, or mt; just as long as its not more than $25 more than the MM!

Patrick, how many fet's you left on MMpro?

Gentlemen, we can tune it to handle higher currents just give us native 5-6S support...

5S will be plenty IMO, and we have the Monster for higher currents and voltages. The MM has proven that it's up to the task in buggies current-wise, so I'm thinking that just keeping the FET number the same on the MM Pro would be ideal. Then again...I do wonder how detrimental the reduction in current capacity would be? If it's still 90%, it could still probably handle most of the lower-current motors.

8S - 60FET will handle in the 200A range (continuous) and 1000A (surge)
12S - 60FET will handle in the 125A range (continuous) and 500A (surge)

8S - 120FET will handle in the 325A range (continuous) and 2000A (surge)
12S - 120FET will handle in the 200A range (continuous) and 1000A (surge)

Most likely we will release the 12S version first (stock FETs) -- followed by the 8S version.

Sound OK?
So this is something that is for sure going to happen, or is it just a project for now? If it's for sure going to happen, sign me up for at least 2!

I hope Mike can license them from CC. If not and CC will make them I'll still get 2 :)

It will happen -- just probably not until next spring.

What about fet's, how many?

Well, you do not like to return phone calls and e-mails, for how much you would like to offer MM parts with 35V capacitors and TVS, no heatsink , no wires?

Do you test/program MCU boards prior to assembly?

Literally, I can't.
Give me one now please.
