Mamba Monster Vs. Novak Hv Pro

I do not see how the MMM is cheaper then the HV Pro (unless someone pre-ordered it from Mike a few months ago and got the discount).
As for the MMM/motor combo, I think castle has shown us that no one (not even them) knows when it will be readily available.
BTW, I do agree that once all of the kinks are worked out of the MMM and once the motor is released (and any possible kinks worked out) it would be a better option for anything larger then a buggy.
But if you want something now, Castle can't help you (unless you happen to have a motor sitting around that is perfect for your truggy already or several hundred dollars for a Neu.

what about the monster and a fiegao xl motor which size would you reccomend.

Oh teh drama!

I don't think you'd have any problem pushing a truggy around with a feigao. If it can throw around my 11# all aluminum and titanium emaxx, a truggy should be no problem. Besides, I happen to think the kv of the castle neu's is a bit high for running in a truggy with 6S.

Good catch, turns out the HV Pro ESC costs the same as the MMM:

But for the money the MMM still gives you more bang.

And I am not denying the MMM isn't better (more voltage and amps). But they are still not available to buy today (and have it shipped tomorrow). Also, I want to see if they do anything about the fan wire issue.

Mostly I just like to ramble on, I mean no offence to the castle guys. And I will state I run a Novak system (now I have the new HV-Pro w/6.5 but I have been busy with housework so I haven't installed it yet).

Personally, I am happy I picked the Novak, because back in Jan when I bought it I was being told "oh the MMM is coming out in Feb". We all know where that has gone.... But if I would have waited for the MMM I would have lost a summer of bashing/racing.

MM + CCBEC + Feigao on 4s worked fine for me before (and after) the MMM came out. And look, you can still buy it all now!
