I'm with you there...especially since I only spent $152 on my MMM from Mike.

Yes, the price is above the Monster Max. They only sent me ths unit because the 50V and 63V ones are not ready. Those are the ones I'll be really interested in.

I understand. Let us know how this one works out. Did they give you a timeline on the HV models?

They hope to release it for Summer is what was said.

You sneak! I was waiting on one as well

Keeps sync really well from my testing, but mine didn't have the Car startup on it. They will probably beat Castle to the 12s market here.

Looks good Lutach. I am interested in seeing your results.

Targeting the masses. If there is anything I learned during 6 years of Compaq tech support followed by 3 years of desktop and 3 years of server support for large enterprises is there are some real ID10T's out there that would wire it up the other way. The labeling is a great idea and liability out for the company should it get hooked up wrong and someone get hurt ;)

Did you hook up the red and black wires from the battery to the red and black wires from the esc? no? Well I'm sorry sir that is the problem and unfortunately for you the directions provided were not followed and your warranty has been voided. thank you for calling.

Sorry . Man this controller is nice. Starts my Mega ACn22/30/2 with out a problem and I'm loving the BEC. It works perfect with 6S.

Maybe thats why so many EVX2s have been going up in smoke over at the traxxas forum....

Thanks for sharing this lutach. I hope it goes well and the market will see a 12s car esc soon. Personally, the more of this we can get on the market, the more pressure it puts on all involved to step up.

I'm trying my best. I have asked for a 12S and up controller from basically all the companies that makes ESC. Hoping to see 2 maybe 3 US companies with one. I wish Aveox came back to the market. Specially now that we see 1/8 scale brushless and the need for HV.

Have you seen the Aveox website lately? If you have interest in the stuff they sell, you basically have to email them and ask a million questions- all the old motor charts and stuff have vanished when the new website was created. i never did undersand how they rated different motors properly, and now i never will :(

[Mister-T]

A decent alternative :)

I'm jealous that you did own one of the Infamous "Mr.Constructor" car, You do have some serious stuff there

Yes and it's pathetic. They should have kept the R/C line up and running and lower the price so more people could afford them. Some companies makes me sick with their business concept. I guess the government pays them pretty well for them to completely forget where they all started (My best guess as I've had a Aveox since the early days.

I couldn't pass the Mr. C kit away. Don't forget the BPP which is also another serious machine.

How hot does it get? I'm guessing it's pretty smooth if it can start a 6 pole motor huh?
