The USB cable connects to it, the wires on the Castle link connects to the receiver lead on the MMM and the USB goes into computer

Is there any advantages running bullets/connevtors? Only that you can do a quick motor change?
Wouldn't soldering it have low-resistance comparied to bullets/connectors?

I'm telling your boss!

...although I can be made to keep quiet for a small fee, which just so happens to be the exact price of a MMM.

Haha, i wish i could have swung it, but my boss was in the mail room when it arrived and he brought it to me and watched me open it hoping it was an HDD for our exchange server.

I have set a conservative baseline setting to start with via the castle link though. I found in interesting that the fan comes on when plugged into castle link.

Brake - 45%
Drag Brake - 0%
Punch control - 70%
Start Power - Low
Motor Timing - Lowest
Cutoff - Auto Lipo

Defaults on the rest.

I need to goto the LHS and pick up some shrink tube, I am out, then go home, soler on some 5.5 mm bullets, strap it into the truck, plug in the 1515 1y and go! I charged the 5s lipo last night in anticipation.

I may have to take the ESC into the lhs for a bit of show and tell too ;) Being they do not have one yet.

I have a Neu 1515 1y and TrueRC 5s 8000 mah lipo in an rc-m mount e-revo geared 17/38.

I have to stop by the lhs on the way home tonight and pick up some shrink tube and a little show and tell since they do not have them in stock yet, then I will go home and wire it all up and go for a small test, it will be pushing dark by then. Saturday is my company picnic at a huge park where I can test loose and hard pack dirt, grass, sand and asphault.
