Don't forget, you will need the Prolink if not using a computer. That should already be available if anybody wants to get ahead of the game.

Looking forward to hearing more on this and if a 1/8 oriented ESC is on the way.

I see from the specs that the new MMax Pro will handle down to a 2 pole 3.5T. Now, my question is, with the overall specs on this new ESC, would it handle a 4.5T 550 2 pole?

when testing servos with the ESC and its 4A BEC, were any of the common power hungry type of servos used in conditions where other ESCs like to brown out?

I can already see Castle guys getting confused on this esc just by the name on the case if you don't catch the Maclan part first lol.

We have tested the esc with all major brand radios and servos from major brands - obviously can't say with tested them all. Have been no issues with brown outs or anything close related.
Very high majority of people buying this competition style esc, are not buying castle, no need for confusion.

sounds good. Main one I was thinking would have been the savox ones that like to eat weak BECs for breakfast.

So how much longer on a 1/8 style ESC that works for both 4x4 SCT and 1/8 E buggy on 4S?

Hopefully its not sensored only operation.
