I'm a fan of castle products. They stand behind their stuff and it's buttery smooth. I'd look at a sidewinder or mamba max/monster ... depends on what you are putting it in. Last edited by Locked Up; 09-12-2010 at 11:40 PM. |

I had the same problem with the Dynamite FU2E system. The first one was replaced by the hobbyshop, and when #2 fried I got replacement from Horizon. #3 went back to the store for credit before even hooking it up. My Novak and Sidewinder BL systems are still running strong after years of use.

Sorry to hear about your system. I am a big fan of Castle stuff and use them in just about everything. I also like the FXR for my MOA crawler, Nice 'n' Small.

Tekin FXR. Small and easy to program on the fly.  |

Castle in general make a great product, but I hate my Sidewinder! Even with the new firmware and software its weak on power. I run 3s batteries and it still just lacks power. In the manual it says that it puts out 2/3 of the power of a mamba. Fair enough.... If you are a toodler, then maybe the Sidewinder is fine. if you want to wheel your rig hard like i do. Skip it..... Just my 2cents... GL |

I like Castle products. Highly recomend the Mamba Max Pro. If your planning to run sensored brushless, this is da shit! 2S to 6S, fully programmable, with cheat mode if you can handle a boost turbo. WOW! I have lot's of castle products, but the 2 MMPro's that I have are killa. 1 in my LCC and 1 in my slash. Have fun, lifes short. JC  |

Everyone I know is running a castle product, one of the guys got a doa one and castle was awesome about it, the tech support guy walk him threw a couple things then took his name and overnighted him one, can't get better than that. I think they are all running sidewinders. I chose to be different and bought a Tekin FXR, so far I am really impressed with it, I am going to tape a cheat sheet on the bottom of my body for the on the fly programming, for that feature it cant be beat! EDIT sorry I just saw u are looking to run a brushless, nevermind |

I DONT KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO READ ON HERE.. I SAID BRUSHLESS.. I ALREADY HAVE BRUSHLESS MOTORS, AND THE LCC/CCR NEEDS MORE THAN 2S TO RUN 2 SERVOS AND A ESC/MOTOR. So yeah Im running on 11.1v 3s 1300mah batteries to operate it with correct competition run time. Anyhow yes I am looking for help with upgrading from Xcelorin (they're all brushless not brushed) system to something better that wont last me only two packs and then smoke into fire! |

I just had the same problem with my losi system going up in smoke (lasted about 5 min). I'm new to crawling but noticed that most the folks at the course I plan on going to were running the goat system (some 2c some 3c). I just ordered the 3 cell goat with ballistic combo mentioned earlier, it should be in tomorrow. I did not see any with ballistic motors when I visited the local course but I have had good experiences with them in the past so I spent the extra to get it over the other system offered. I also liked the fact that it included a external BEC saving an extra $20. If your going with one of the high voltage servos you probably want the castle BEC but for now  I don't have one of those.
