Default Noisy Mamba Max speed controll

Is it just mine, or are they all noisy. It makes a squealing sound everytime it make the car move. It is a high pitch noise. It makes me crazy. I cannot drive it indoors its so loud. My wife wants to toss my crawler into out pool. Please help before my AX10 becomes a submarine.

Running a 7t puller shouldn't make alot of noise...... maybe something else is wrong.

Nah, the puller is quite loud with a MM. I say you call up castle and make a stink about it. Demand that the next firmware upgrade has an inaudable switching frequency.


In the mean time a Tekin FXR would quiet it down.

Is that really gonna make a difference? You´ve been telling this people for quite a while now. Or is there a chance that they will actually do something about it? Have you tested any brushless esc by tekin yet? You said you were eventually gonna test one.
Greets,

I have a BL esc from tekin, just haven't done anything with it.

It would make a difference to complain to Castle if enough people did it. If nobody complains we won't get the audible switching frequencies removed.

I bet you anything your gears are meshing or whatever you call it.

That is what happened to me when I first ran my 7t puller.

Now it is pretty quiet =D

I HATE The Noise !! makes it difficult to concentrate not to mention it takes the realism out of the crawler

I have a Brushless BM16

I also have a 6 watt MP3 stereo, music and V8 engine sound loaded on my Super Crawler and those electronic noises from ESC suck !

I'm going to call them

Realism? My Toyota makes ALLOT more noise that my RC car ever could. Not the motor,I'm talking squeeks,pops and rattles

Allot of your noise in the outrunner. Pullers aren't near as noisy.

You've got everything except the kicthen sink in there....put an amp and a couple subs. You can then drown out the sound of horsepower.

I really don't see it guys. Yes,there is a noise,it ain't that bad though. My tires make more noise when I drop the hammer.
