The mamba pro's need castle link. Mamba max does not. Between the 3 I would say the pro is by far the best value when you consider that it comes with a certificate for a free castle link! I get em for 175 from my lhs. The combo that is.

That does sound awesome when it comes with a free cert for a Castle Link... That's a great move by Castle...

No, There are five of us running expert SC mod at our track. All but one of us run the Ezrun stuff, the other guy runs a Novak setup (It hasn't helped him get to the front of the pack).

You may hear of a few rare stories where people have killed an EZRun system, but if you look around you will see these stories for ANY ESC. Novak, Castle, Tekin, EZrun, LRP, they all have had a few failures here and there. Most of the problems have been caused by user error, but thats really besides the point. For as many EZRun systems there seem to be in use I think the ratio is pretty low for failures. I for one have or have had more ESCs than most RC guys will ever own, and EZRun has been one of the most reliable, smooth running, and definitely the best value for the dollar.

ANyone have issues with the EZrun 60A? I bought one for my daughter (4 years old) for Xmas. Got it all ready but it only runs backwards? I have the programmer, and it has a box to check to reverse the motor rotation but it's greyed out. So after several attempts to contact HOBBYPARTZ they told me the warranty ran out (30 days) and want nothing to do with it. WTF? Anyone know what I can do to get it to work right? HELP

Switch any two of the motor wires and it should spin the correct direction.

I purchased 4 Mamba Max ESCs in the last month. They are complete garbage - just like their service. I sent my 1st blown up ESC (got blown up when I hooked it to the computer to program :/) on Dec 29 2009. I got this message today....

SO MY POINT IS I AM SUPPOSED TO WAIT 2 MONTHS FOR AN ESC THAT NEVER EVEN GOT PUT IN MY CAR AND CAUGHT FIRE WHEN I CONNECTED IT. SCREW CASTLE CREATIONS HARD. DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCT. I can see when things break, but this is not the type of support you want to deal with in the RC industry. It sets a bad example. Do not buy from them.

As the others have said you could switch the wires but make sure you went through the correct setup procedures first. In the manual is strictly says to set your throttle channed to REV during setup. Now if you did that then go ahead and switch the wires, however if you haven't done that then do that first and if that doesn't fix the motor rotation then swap the motor wires around.
