Castle Creations Mamba Max pro Q&A
Hi Guys
http://www.rcracer.com/electronics/6...-mamba-max-pro I am now running these speedos and have been very impressed, The smooth low power delivery is excellent and the spec can rival any other brand on the market in my opinion. The software is also very easy to use! If anyone has any questions just ask Si

i am using the mm pro with flux 5700kv sensorless motor, i just feel the binding is not there. change to my novak 7.5t sensor still does not perform like my other sensor only esc. why is it so? using it for drifting and need many sudden throttle and braking. just not as binding as novak or my lrp. Is not the lipo cause i have have tried orion35c and ip 40c and they are both new. have the latest download as well . Can you help?

An absolute bargain IMO if it continues to perform and is reliable.

I use an MMP with a nice Tekin T8 1400KV motor in my 1/8th scale - no problems as yet, and I always have liked Castle's products - just wish the MMM was sensored.

Also, does it fit better in the CR2 remember im not running a short servo until spektrum bring one out Chop Chop Spektrum... Are you still using Losi motors? Or are you giving their motors a test too?

Lipo cut of 3.2v per cell Brake amount 100% Drag break 20% Punch control 0% BEC 6v Deadband - Smallest setting Start power - low motor timing highest 20% Motor type - Smart sence I am also running a positive throttle curve at the start to give more low end power, needed to make it feel like an LRP as i have spent so many years running their products. CR2 no issue, xx4 can be a tight, i have removed the fan case and mounted the fan on the heatsink to get it under the shell. Yes to Losi motors you will not catch me taking those out ;- ) Not had a chance to see a Castle motor yet let alone try one as i understand there maybe some new ones in the future. But in a nut shell, the software so far i have found to be 100% reliable, the speedo's have always worked as asked and there is loads to change if you want or you can just keep it simple also. This speedo can also handle 25v for those nutters who want to make the car nutter fast!!! Si

Si, could you post pics from the ESCs on your cars? I'd like to see how they look on a race car, not only on some alloy E-Maxx madness

Revsey, increase your start power setting. That way you won't need to have a positive throttle curve (or at least not as much).
On my MM, I have it set to high, and actually tune it down a bit at the beginning of the throttle curve (I'm running the castle motors that are very very "Torquy")... Anyways, just food for thought! i,d love to get one of the MMPs with a Tekin 5.5 or 6.5T motor for 4wd... But honnestly, my MM and castkle motors just work so well for me I can't justify the expense... Quote:

Low speed driveability is simply awesome - no cogging with my Xcelorin motors in either my TC or by CR2 Buggy. I've not yet used the CHEAT mode cos I've not got a PC to run the Castlelink software but even with the inbuilt firmware settings, the ESC is ultra smooth but very powerful also. I'm loving it... |

Castle has got a programming card coming out, for those without PCs or laptops... I think it sells for 30$ US... Don't know if it sets everything on the ESC, but definetly usefull for trackside adjustments...

Thanks for the info Codman.
I may wait to see what the card can offer but TBH, this ESC is sooo good that I've been considering buying a netbook just to run the software on it. |

I know what you mean (although running a regular MM). Everytime I go racing, I borow the offices laptop for trackside...

I am a bit confused about the punch control, start power and then throttle curve (whether one overrides the other). I had mine on 20% punch, low start power (because it said in the help section this was best all round) and then linear throttle. It was very smooth but there did seem to be a slight lag on the initial throttle, not sure if this is down to the deadband which i had left at default (0.1 sec I think). I guess it's just a bit of trial and error until it feels right. Useful to hear these views though.

If the punch limits the punch, ie start power then what does the start power limit?!

surely the punch limmits the curent (AKA the severaty of the motor) at any point in the throttle range where as the start power will change how the motor peforms from a standstill or verry slow speeds

The punch control limits the power at all times but it usually makes a difference in the lower rev range where the motor's torque is high. Avner. |
