I heard from my hobby shops supplier that it is supposed to be coming out at the end of the month. Do any of you guys know anything about it? Its not on their site yet.

It'll handle 14 cells or something like that and I think this particular system is geared towards an Emaxx style MT, probably 80 amps cont. if not more. Although I'm sure it could have a home in a 1/10 stadium truck or buggy. I think stuff is gonna be under wraps due to CC's incidents with the mamba 25 and people complaining that it was late.

Are they in the USA? The name sounds american. My UF-75 has been in Germany for almost 2 1/2 weeks on service! Proabably another 2-3 weeks until I get it back!
Yes they are US, and have great customer service.

Me neither!
Sorry just fluffing up my post count.....now I'm a SENIOR MEMBER. Muahahaha, do I get special powers or something?
Still holding my breath, the u-force is a great controller, but I would love to run the CC Max w/ the Pletty I think it should be able to allow me to increase my pinion size making the car even faster on 6 cells.

Are they car specific controllers with proper casing or just shrink wrap ones.?

Well, I just read the thread over at halfeight.com. I'm getting mixed signals on the motor. As I understand it, the Mamba Maxx is geared toward 1/10th scale and is a complete system, not just a controller. But one guy asked what the motor size was, and the original poster said that it's a 500 :confused: .
Anyone know what the footprint of this thing is going to be?

proper casing...
Anything with a higher Amp rating than the U-force 75 would be good. That means I can now use my C40 6turn with no fear of thermalling and give those 6-7 turn brushed motors a run for their money. Any Pics yet, pricing, case dimension?
too early I guess, I don't even think they have beta's out for testong yet. Haven't heard from Shawn either, that must mean they are still in the R&D stages. few months back I got to hear from him, he was giving the controller some extreme use w/ good results is basically all he said, no specifics though. Sounds good though, knowing what Shawn has done in the past as far as EXTREME use goes. And he made good on his word when CC brought about the mambas, seems that they are tolerating all that is being thrown at them, micro wise.

Can't say I believe all that is in that post after the time I spent with Castle this weekend. I'll just say that betas aren't out yet but you will like what is coming.
