Will say I've been running these in both 12th and TC... and they are very quick!
I was properly slaloming down teh straight last weekend as it had so much more straight line than anything else  Ok, I know it's not off-road, and Si and Andy are probably best placed to give the settings for that... but they do seem to be very versatile speedo, being able to handle up to 6s after all! One slight word of caution on the programming card (although this is aimed more a spec class drivers than modified), is that you can't adjust the CHEAT mode RPM range with it, and I've been finding that a very useful tool to tune the speedo to different tracks for 10.5 TC and 12th. Cheers Ed

At the weekend i was helping one of the team install a new Mamba max pro speedo in a 1/10th off road buggy and he was having issues getting the speedo to talk with his KO transmitter, it would find full power and full break but not neutral. We found that the speedo did not have the latest firmware and once updated it worked fine
So far i have found in issues like this it is one of two things 1. Start by checking the firmware ensure you have the latest 1.24 2. Ensure your Tranny settings are per the Castle creations instruction manual Si

Hi Si,
There's a 1.25 version of the software out now as well. http://www.castlecreations.com/downloads.html Regards Ed

2.In terms of APM the 5700 is slower than both the 5.5 and 6.5, but in terms of torque and overall power it has more than them. I would say it is similar to the 5.5 overall. 3. I used to run a Castle 4600 motor (on LiPos) in my XX4 and I had to limit it's power by programing the ESC because it was too powerful. I'm not sure the Sidewinder ESC can handle the loads of a 4X4, I used a Mamba Max ESC. I would recommend fans for the ESC and motor. I run a Sidewinder in my 2WD. Avner.

What type of car is this in?
CHEAT can be very powerful but do be careful not to over gear the motor with it and watch the motor temperatures. I would recommend starting around 30 deg advance on a 13.5T and aim to start the timing ramp at around 8-9000 rpm. As for FDR, I would gear one or 2 pinions lower than you would normally gear on a non-dynamic advance ESC. If you try to pull the same type of ratio, you may end up over gearing and can experience some motor stutter as you're effectively asking the motor to pull too higher ratio from standstill. You will probably end up having to experiment a bit in order to find a profile and set up that suits you but once you do, I'm sure that you'll find it to be a very accomplished speedo. Good luck

Im no help but just got to say Im running my stadium truck on mamba max esc and 5700kv brushless, which is like a 3.5 turn motor, my mates nitro cars and trucks cant keep up at all. I wont have any other brushless combo for racing or bashing, too many good points with it.

Sorry but been away on holiday. Hope this isn't too late. I've never been totally sure at what rpm my motors rev up to but I guess you may have yours hooked up to a data logger or rpm sensor? Basically, all I have done is experimented using different amounts of advance to come in a different rpm ranges depending on the length of the straight. If your motor revs to 21000 but is only getting to that point a 95% of the way down the straight then you'll want it to come in much earlier. I would recommend, with a 13.5, to start with a TOTAL system advance of approx 35-40 degrees and get it coming in at around 12,000 rpm. When I say a total system advance - that includes the inbuilt motor advance which, on the X12 can be quite alot so I understand. So try approx 22 - 26deg advance on the ESC to come in a little lower than you initially thought - basically, don't get it to come it so late along the straights that you just boost yourself past the turning apex at the end of them - normally, the main straight is the easy on to set for - it's the shorter straights in the infield which is where you need to optimise your advance point for. Oh - and do keep an eye on motor temps and stay as cool as you feel comfortable with but always below 85deg - my motors run at approx 55-60 degC after a 5 minute qualifier outdoors. Hope this helps

My MMP hasnt been updated yet but it wont bind to my KO but will bind to my cheap 27htz handset
What ive noticed when running it yesterday is that the power is abit unpredicable...almost like glitching i dont know if this is becuase my MMP is still in smart sense mode but at lower speeds there seems to be a delay of a second or so before the ESC acceleration kicks in ive set the bandwidth to small and punch to med Ill wait and update the firmware on the esc and see what happens there...it maybe that this smartsense function isint as efficient with my motor as it could be

Im seriously considering one of these but would like some first hand info off you guys.
have any of you experienced servo or radio glitches? I have read on other forums that they struggle with digital servos, and working with spektrum radio gear. i just wondered if anyone here has experienced the same as its only this issue thats putting me off buying one.

I've just set up the mamba max pro with a spektrum DX6i,
It didn't want to set up at first until i realised i had the throttle channel reversed. Once i put it back to non reversed it works a treat.
