Mamba Max Brushless

[BigSushi]

Got a Mamba Max from Jessie at RushRC and man Castle has some really sweet technology. Its cool to hook up the computer to the car and adjust everything right there and create several profiles and can load as fast as a click.

I have it in my Kyosho Lazer ZX-5 and was pulling wheelies today running a 7700 with Apogee 3800 li-mn. My wing is all messed up because its acting as the wheelie bar!

Thumbs up to Castle's Mamba Max. Now I can't wait for the Mamba Monster Max!!

How easy is it to program trackside?
I know they make some great stuff but hear they are extremely confusing to program without a computer especially in the sunlight trying to see, and count endless flashing sequences. Have they improved on this yet? I hope so.

I dont know and have not tried it yet. I have a laptop so it would be quite easy to reprogram trackside.

However they do have beeps as well as lightrs flashing to program it - so I am sure thats a good improvement. Novak is just as hard to program when all you can do is count flashing lights.

FastEddy...it's not that difficult. You start at the first setting and first option. If you answer no you go to the next option, if you answer yes it drops down to the next question. The tones definitely make it easier as you can hear the programming steps instead of relying on the flashes from the ESC.

Welcome to RCNT!.
Its always great to have reps from the manufacturers on the site to help keep product info inline.

I just picked up the Comp-X package yesterday. Ill be installing it soon so I can compare it with my other BL setup.
