When for monster maxx?

[Sower]

Very true Brian. I would be voting with my wallet right now if I could get the MGM here. Unfortunately my last 3 inquiries to Mike about when they'll be available are not being answered. He must be VERY busy. Anyway, I hope the MGM will be available soon.

I'm liking the 16016-3S. It is very smooth. I have it set up for forward/brake only. I will make some comparisson using the 40.160, MGM, MM, Actronic 120 and the VXL. The 40.160 and Actronic 120 handles higher voltage, but they are rated for 100A+. I will start a new thread with the results.

Nice, that would be great to see. I think I would like the 160 to go with my Neu 1515, but I might just go full force with the 224 - that thing would be sweet!

As soon as castle releases the monster maxx theres gonna be a flood of esc's on flea bay!

You really think so? From all the talk, it looks like the MMM is only going to give you more current capability, and maybe a better BEC. Most people would rather have the same current rating, but higher voltage for better efficiency.

It would be nice if the prices of MMs and other escs came down as a result, but only time will tell I guess.

[BrianG]

And if the fabled MM/Neu fix was done...

[suicideneil]

...the prices would probably rise, since then no-one would want the MMM, since the MM would have all the features & compatibilty you could possibly want (unless you wanted a low kv + high voltage setup). So much for my theory.

By the time the "fabled" MMM actually comes out there will be probably already be multiple other escs with just as good or better features. The new MGMs for example.

If its not rated for at least 6s I am not wasting my money on it. Just run the MM, it does 5s.

Castle is sitting on this WAYYYYYYYYY to long. It better be all that and a bag o' chips when/if it finally makes its apearance.

LOL, I was just looking at when this thread started; Sep of 2006! And still nothing really new...

[suicideneil]

At least with Tekin they have a video of their MT setup actually working, albeit a beta version, but still. At this rate I think Lutach's esc (it is him whos having one custom made by a factory isnt it?) will be ready before the MMM- just add a neu and you're good to go.

No doubt... I wonder when the first advertisement actually appeared for the thing. I bet its going on 2 years.

What kind of ridiculous marketing plan advertises a product before they even have a functioning prototype. In a twisted kind of way I'm actually hoping that it sucks and the whole thing blows up in their faces.

The whole thing is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. (just in case you couldn't tell.)

[BrianG]

Just about the ONLY thing their marketing plan does is keep the talk going, which is usually a good thing - but when the talk is negative, well...

[lutach]

If I was CC, I would just pull the plug on the MMM and apologize to everyone. In rcgroups I already posted something there telling Patrick if he is having trouble getting electronic components, I would be happy to sell him my secrets of procuring them. He is probably sitting on his desk saying, "My products are the best. I'll make them wait and when it comes out they will buy."

Want to hear the icing on the cake, he posted yesterday on a plane esc at RCgroups (its 1AM here), but didn't post on all the lynch mob activities (a lot of people voicing strong opinions) on the MMM threads. Is that strange to anyone else? Also, I notice that a lot of guys having troubles with their plane esc on there lately, Makes me wonder if Castle is on a downward slide. Maybe Shawn Palmer leaving was a sign of things to come
