New Monster? - Page 3 - RC-Monster Forums

Cool! I'll get 3 V5 soon!

I'll be really happy with a variable voltage BEC, a sensor port and a easy to clean/exchage fan.

Taking the controller apart to clean the fan is just too annoying

Arct1k that is the whole point with the data logging feature and that is the grates thing about brushless "Set and forget" (other than power). No way anyone is going to use it every time. It is meant to be used to check your setup and see if batts and gearing is up to the task. After you work out everything is fine data logging is something that will get used next when you make serious changes to your car. Eg, different size wheels, running in sand, new batts..........

The way I look at it having a data logger built into the ESC makes life so much easier and well worth the expense. Buying an additional unit like Eagle Tree data logger will be more expensive and more of a hassle to hook up and secure to the car for a test session. It just makes sense to me.

Patrick, great to hear about the new FETs. Way to go man. I like the way that you guys just never sit on your hands but instead always looking at new way to improve your product line.

You guys know I can't comment on what hasn't been released publicly yet.

Well next to "Yes, the new MMM Pro is coming out soon!" that ^ is probably the best thing I have read in this thread.

New FETS is good news , great how better components are integrated into the current design.

The first in Moscow mamba monster with Power mosfets from infenion 011N03
so to speak, caught the eye of http://berserk80.users.photofile.ru/.../125406548.jpg
Characteristics of transistors are impressive, whether in later replaced by the driver after the MXL ....

Yes, very nice transistor -- we are the only company in RC using them right now (too expensive for many companies...)

The new driver will be in the next build of Mamba Monster.

Constant improvement happens @ Castle.

Well done! appreciate

what you just said, along with good pricing and great products and service is what has made castle the industry leader and the brand that i stay loyal to when it comes to motors and especially escs.

keep it up and when castle grows enough to go public wall street, i will be buying some of the IPO

...so can the MMM run 6s Lipo reliably now without popping??

Well, considering there are literally 10s of thousands of MMMs out there running 6S reliably, what are you really asking??

09.12.2011, 10:09 AM

My Flux has had 4 packs through it so far only but everything seems to be fine. I have only ever run it on 6S from day one. I know it is early days but is seems to be holding up just fine.

In my RC8Te I am running the MMM with the Castle 1518 and again only on 6S. No issues what so ever. It doesn't even get warm enough for the fan to come on most of the time.

On my Serpent 960 I have ran the MMM with Castle 1512 (2650kv) motor on 6S and only 6S. Again holding up just fine.

Two of my MMM's that died seem to have been a BEC related issues but now I run external one on all of them.

TexasSP · 09.12.2011, 10:10 AM

Mine regularly got my Revo up to 75 mph (this was GPS clocked) and my LST2 over 60 mph on 6s with zero issues. This was a V2 model as well. This unit ran great for me for 3 years before I sold it. Always on 6s.

Not to mention the countless people I know running them on 6s.

Since this thread is kind of a wishlist, I'd say 60v, 100+A, sensored, and multiple input types (PWM, 5k pot, etc). I'd only want datalogging if there was the ability to add a real-time display...

How about a bluetooth added to it so you could change settings wirelessly?

Not needed IMO. Once I have the settings down, they stay that way. I guess BT would be nice at first during that stage, but then would be wasted. At least that's how it is for me.

On some of my vehicles, sure. But not on all, such as say my rock crawlers; and with those being "waterproofed", its a pain to pull things apart to make adjustments to drag brake, etc.
