Alright, let's get this FAQ started!

Q1: What are the power demands (constant/peak) for the Mamba Motors?
For NiCD/NiMH packs, knowing the demands isn't so important as long as you've got good packs...But for folks looking to go LiPoly, then a little more attention has to be given to the power demands so you can get a LiPoly pack with a high enough Discharge rate to supply the ESC/Motor what it needs.

Q2: For the Mamba-25, CastleLink settings; Can you go into a little detail
about the relationships/differences between; 'Punch Control', 'Start Power' and 'Motor Timing'?
They all seem to do VERY similar things (in that they control the application of power to the Motor), and I'm definitely a little more hazy about the 'Motor Timing' setting (from the perspective of what the software is doing).

That's all I've got for now.

Thanks!
