When for monster maxx?

[captain harlock]

Worry not, Brian. I'm sure they'll do it the right way.

[glassdoctor]

The Monster will be a 200A unit... plan is to double up on the fets.

The max voltage is undecided at this point.... the HV stuff costs them a lot more to build so I don't think it will be crazy like 10s+ but I think they will at least build it to do 6s...

[MetalMan]

Where did you hear/see the 200amps figure?

[captain harlock]

I believe you've been in constant contact with Castle Creations lately. Right, Doc?

[glassdoctor]

I have talked to Shawn a few times in the last month or so... they are understandably tight lipped about it and nothing is etched in stone, but it's pretty clear that they intend to double the specs of the Mamba Max. Take all such info as speculation... and blame me if it ends up different, not them.

They said the same thing at least a year ago...
1. create a 1/10 mamba
2. double stack the hardware and make a monster version

I think this is accurate info although I don't have any inside top secret clearance at CC :017:

And I don't think I am spilling the beans or anything.... just some general goals they have expressed for their product

Bottom line is the Monster will be a killer speedo.... IMO it will make the current Quark,MGM,BK etc look like barf... :020: :027:

Well if you double the mamba maxx. It would work out very well.
200 amp and 6s run. I can live with that.

[squeeforever]

Especially if its cheaper than the Quark...Don't get me wrong, I like the Quarks, but there not computer programmable...BIG advantage there for CC. Not to mention the issues with 6S LiPo. I think the CC MMM will be will worth it no matter what, and if its less than $250 I will certainly get one ASAP. Maybe I can beta test one with the BPP LSP on 6S :D.

[captain harlock]

I guess we have to wait and see.

As much fun* as it is to piece a brushless system together, I can't wait for Castle to roll out the definitive E-MT brushless system. I know the Mamba Max took a while but in the end it's head and shoulders above the rest. I have high hopes the Monster Max will do the same for the E-MT class. I also hope they roll out a series of motors with it like they have with the 1/10th system. We don't all race (or bash or drag or whatever you do) so one product for everyone is a little too ambitious. Several to fill different needs would be great.

If it is a 8s or higher controler I will buy one.

[captain harlock]

I have some things I think I have to say it- in clarification to Doc's info-

The Mamba M Max is supposed to be two times the power and capability of the Mamba Max. This means the controller will be capable of:

200Amp cont.
6s lipos/ 18 sub c cells with the built in bec
4 or probably 6 big capacitors
8s lipo cells without bec and 24 sub c cells without bec
Price will be somewhere between $200-230

It's very possible.

[BrianG]

That would indeed be sweet! Although, I'd use a stand-alone BEC for anything over 3s lipo, unless CC plans on building a digital regulator instead of the typical linear one.

As more companies enter the BL market, competition will drive prices down, features up, and capabilities up. Gotta love it!

If they could do that and programmable like the mamba max and keep in to around 350 for the combo, I'll be first in line. I have a mamba max and am so impressed i'd buy one sight unseen

[captain harlock]

I hope they would, but even so, I have the Schulze 149.18 which I need to blow it up first and then go for a Mamba M Maxx.

...the last word I heard is that they were away in the wilderness somewhere testing the Mon Max on 1:8 buggies at a secret track...Still no beta testing though...
