Castle Creations Mamba Max 1/10 Brushless

Originally announced in October of 2004 here, the Castle Creations Mamba Max is nearing completion! Packaging is all that is left to do.

The Mamba Max is a 1/10 brushless system featuring a rebuildable motor and heavy-duty speed control. The speed control can be programmed via your computer with the CastleLink (included) by using the USB port built in to the circuit board.

The motors will come in three strengths. CM-S4600, CM-S5700, CM-S7700. The speed control features a big Mamba-green heat sink, and an open case (top) for better airflow.

Stay tuned for more! And don't forget the Monster Max is coming soon! It will basically be the same speed control, but the motor will be twice as long (more magnetic surface area) for more torque.

Apogee Loud Obnoxious Alarm

New from Apogee! When the voltage on your LiPo pack gets too low, it emits a loud sound and lights up an LED. It is supposed to be as loud as a smoke alarm. It will be available for $20.99.
