Mmm2 slow take off. No full throttle starts

[Thomas Porfert]

New version of Castle Link 3.55.00 is available on the website with firmware version 1.45 for the Monster and Max Pro. From the firmware revision notes:

1.45 Beta 05/28/13
Monster and Mamba Max Pro:
Significantly increased startup torque and the delay of power from start.

Please try updating your Monsters and Monster 2's to V1.45 and please report back your findings. Thanks!

just installed Firmware 1.45 on my MMM (not the V2)

The response of the first 2% of throttle is more like switch
The car does not jump start like on previous version, but still not as good as on the 1.24 MMM Firmware, this version allows "Crawler Like" startups

Setup
Kyosho DRX
MMM
CC 1410 1Y
geared for about 30 mph
Tekno RC Traktion Drive (Slipper Clutch)
Timing "0"
Start Power Low

Here is video with Version 1.45
MMM @ Firmware Version 1.45

Version 1.24

MMM @ Firmware Version 1.24

I pulled the throttle careful just like you would drive out of the pits
On 1.24 is really depends on the position of the rotor how smooth you can start, but still 100% better than anything after this version

Hope that helps
Soory for the poor videos

EXCELLENT !!!! My mmm2 now works as good as the original ones I have . Very happy thanks guys. I can actually hear my slipper clutch again lol. Thanks castle

I agree 1.24 starts slightly nicer but I'm happy with 1.45
