Noooooo... castle turns to the dark side....

Just figured I would comment here.

The only parts that are shared with the sidewinder and the TM controller is the plastic case. The board was custom made for me and the design is new (as of two years ago when we designed it).

6s 80a overkill for most crawlers? Yes it is, but overkill is not always a bad thing. 5a BEC enough for most crawlers? Yes it is, unless you are competing and are using over a 300 ounce inch servo or need to turn up the BEC voltage.

We will be adding some new features to the firmware as time goes on as well, ones that will really add features that crawlers and offroad bashers need. This controller is specifically designed for total motor control, and recently we have been installing quite a few units into battle bots as well since the features really work well for them.

Beyond that, a new controller that is smaller is being developed as well. But all the software features will port over.

Well if you are targeting 'bashers' too, then brushless (sensored/sensorless) support is required. No one bashes with brushed, unless you specifically mean 'crawler bashing'.

But anyways, what about the MMP and the TM? Any correlation between the two other than both coming out of CC...

[johnrobholmes]

No correlation between the MMP and the TM, although I wonder if my prodding about having an adjustable BEC on my unit influenced the design of the MMP. Care to comment Patrick?

If I remember right it was a trade off between power and adjustability. I wanted power.

I will wait for comment until some protos are done. I can't let the wrong cat out of the bag


So, I just gotta ask. Why is this the dark side?
