When for monster maxx?

[neweuser]

I'll +1 that Larry

I totally agree. I just hope that they'll just tell us some sort of date, to expect it to come out.

[Sower]

I'm totally with you guys here. The wait on this system is ridiculous. Especially when the ESC is ready to go. I have no idea why they don't start selling the ESC to those of us that don't need a motor. This is taking forever. :002:

With them (castle) being very tight lipped and tekin being somewhat looser with info, its making me look to tekin more and more

I agree. I don't know what the deal is with Castle, but no release date and no information is making it hard to be patient.

I wonder how long after the release it will be before the esc is available by itself. I would imagine that they are going to do the initial release selling combos only. If this is the case, I may wind up waiting even after the release, because at this point, I don't want or need a 2200kv motor.

I don't remember where is was that I saw it, but I remember reading that the XL motor that they are working on is going to be a 2200kv; or is there going to be more than one motor.

I heard it was going to be a 2200kv as well. I have a box for a CM-s4600 motor that has the little check boxes on the box for motor models; a CM-L2200 is listed on the box

Cool, thats 40,700 at 5s, that will get most speed fixes:dft003: :cool:

It makes me think tekin is closer to having one on market first.

[crazyjr]

The way they talk they might be and they don't have to do a motor

[jhautz]

I dont really care which one is first. Just get one of them released. I'll be in line for whatever hits first. At this point CC has been advertising it for so long and not delivering anything I almost hope that Tekin beats them to it and steals the market. It would make them look pretty stupid IMO.

It almost seems like CC started marketing and advertising this thing the day after the had the idea. Didn't know what it was going to take to build it and cant seem to figure it out.

This whole 2 years before its released advertising junk is just annoying IMO.

Not that I wont actually be happy when/if it ever does get released.

I totally agree with you jhautz. I too will purchase whichever one comes first. I just wish they would tell us a date, so that I can decide whether to keep my MM and sell the 4600 motor for an 8xl, UBEC, etc or sell it as a whole (MM and 4600 motor) and wait for the one from CC or Tekin.

[captain harlock]

I'll go for Tekin even if the CC comes out first.
Tekin has a very long history in rc cars and when they do something they do it RIGHT!
And I apologize to say this in the CC forum, but it's very provoking.:010:

Check out this post yesterday by Patrick from Castle in the RC Groups forum. If they need some input on that debate I'm sure I know which way this forum would vote. RELEASE the ESC!!!

[jhautz]

Do It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do It Do It Do It Do It Do It Do It!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats an intresting turn of events, If they can do 5s without a ubec and keep it under 300 I'll buy three

A very inetersing turn of events!! :)

Patrick posted this just this moring:

OK,

I guess it's time to lock down the hardware design and release it.


Patrick

Addtionally:

One question:

The current Monster Max design will handle up to 6S lithium and 20 NiCd/NiMh. Any interest in a HIGHER voltage version (12S lithium / 40 NiCd?)

It would be significantly more expensive than the low voltage Monster Max....


Patrick

I chimed in with my response.:027:
