Mamba Max

I've had several problems with my MMs over the past few weeks. Of the four that I have, two are cogging badly and I had a hard time flashing them. I emailed and called Castle and getting a response these days is like pulling teeth. It wasn't so long ago that you could call and get someone on the phone. I don't know what's wrong at Castle, but I'm gonna start going with Quarks soon. From my stand point, Castle is only hitting 50% with me.

Well, I think it still should be taken into account that we are running the MM ESC's out of spec, in all technicality. We aren't supposed to run them in any 1/10 scale MT or larger vehicles. This pretty much limits the system to touring cars, and 1/10 scale buggies and stadium trucks.

However, the program thing must be dealt with. Its really a stupid reason to have problems with such a great system.

The one i have thats inoperable has never been run out of spec, I have run it on 3s but thats in spec with a 5700 motor. True, i expected this from my other two setups, but not the one i have played by the rules with

Well I have yet to run it out of spec, so...But yea, the problem I am having is BS. I think it should be dealt with appropriately, and by that I mean a new controller. :p I don't think CC will give any BS about it since it was nothing to do with me...

I got a mail back from castle, they say that there is nothing wrong with the 2.23 link and there must be a problem with the esc itself. so i set up my other esc's (4 others) to the 2.23 setup and they updated right (2 took three attempts to update but did), so, so far they may be right. They asked that i send it in to be checked out and i will tomorrow. I really hope they can fix it, that was mt first one and its kind of sentimental

[squeeforever]

I dunno...Me and you both had the same problem doing the same thing...

call castle..

I just had a second one quit working even though it worked fine after the update, unfortunately its no more along with the 4wd buggy it was in, use you're imagination. I just mailed castle that i am getting a 40% failure rate (2 out of 5 mamba maxxes) and am going some where else for esc's, I expect the others to fail eventually because the one failed after running once.

All i got to say is the esc and combo is the best thing out there, Just don't download the 2.23 link ware and you'll be ok. I may go back to nitro's for a while because i don't seem to get as mad at them, I expect problems with them, where i didn't with the mamba's

Recently somebody posted a link where you could buy mamba max brushless power systems (ESC and motor combo) for $155. Now I can't find the link. :005: Does anybody know where it is?

Thanks.

This is the link you are looking for. However, it seems like the post that had the original link must have been deleted because I can't find it either. After all, it is a competing store...

Guys, the link was removed because it is for a competitor.

Sorry, my bad...
