Castle Creations Mamba Monster maxx ready for release

[SypderFungus]

The other day i confirmed with a Castle rep (not Joe) that the CastleLink was included with the Monster. But after reading the website, I agree it doesnt sound like it does.
I just got an email from Joe reconfirming that the CastleLink DOES come with the Monster. Bonus for those of us that dont have them. For those that do... better hurry and get them on eBay!

Can we confirm how this esc will be packaged- with 10g wires all-round for the motor and batts, or 6.5mm plugs for the batts etc? I will need more plugs for my batts anyway, but at least I'll know what to order before I have the esc onhand.

OK,

I believe this is how it will be (It is Saturday, so I don't have the build instructions in front of me -- this is from memory.)

There will be a Castle Link included free with every Monster Max ESC - - it is a new version, just looks a little different than the current version (black PCB, immersion gold finish with cool new Castle Logo.)

We will be using 10ga wires for the power side, and 10ga wires for the motor side with 6.5mm wire bullets installed. Motor side bullets will be included.

Lemme know if I missed anything!

So the monster will include:
- Monster Max
- Castle Link (new)
- Battery Wires without connectors
- Motor wires with bullets on the wires and 2 bullets by themselves to put on the motor to connect the motor to the bullets on the wire of the esc?

Patrick,
A little off topic but could you let us know when the conversion kits should be out? also for what kits are you making them for? I really like the battery trays. thanks

As a math challenged person, could you just tell me what the continuous and peak amp ratings for the Monster are please? "more than you can handle" is a little ambiguous for choosing a motor.

Gixxer--

We don't have a firm date on the conversion kits yet -- what you saw was a prototype. We still have to finalize the design (couple weeks) and get the molds cut (about six weeks or so) before we will have them available for the public.

We will produce conversion kits for the Kyosho Inferno, Losi Eight, and the Jammin as well as others (some of which have not been announced yet.)

any plans on doing the hyper 8.5 or hyper 9? I am thinking of picking one of them up? thanks

[suicideneil]

Sorted. Time to go buy some 10g wire and 5.5mm bullets to make some series Y leads then. Cheers Patrick!

One more thing though: on the subject of FET ratings and exaggerated figures- the hvmaxx is rated at 400amps (), any chance you know what its more likely to be rated at?... I've always wondered.

Patrick, first let me say thanks on behalf of all of us who have been waiting patiently for the MMM! I of course have one on order and when it arrives, I'll be very happy. You guys are doing the entire electric side of the hobby a huge service.

Looking at the photos of the E-Revo with your system installed it made me long for yet another un-released product...your Castle "flavored" Neu motors...they just look so sweet and the buzz about your RC Car/Truck specific changes make me want to hold out for one and NOT buy a true-blue Neu designed around aircraft specs...how long is the wait till yours ship? If it's going to be soon, I'll likely wait, if not I may give in and get the real thing.

Regardless, thank you.

DM,

I believe we will have the Neu style motors in about six weeks, but I'm not 100% positive. I'm going to visit our factory in China on May 1st, and I'll be back May 8th. I'll have a better idea of when the motors will be available when I get back.

If you need me to fill in for you when you are gone, I will. The shop does have wheelchair access, right? Just let me know where you want the holes in the fence. LOL JMWY

Patrick

that is great news. also can you let me know if you will be doing conversion for the hyper 8.5 or hyper 9? thanks

Patrick, how hard would it be to put car software on a HV-110?

[Sower]

Hey Patrick, can you please confirm the Mamba Monster bullets and wires? What exactly will it come with on this first run? I already soldered 5.5mm connectors on my Neu 1515.
