On both the V1 and V2 the fanwires come in contact with the edge of the circuit board and short out in time. Either use the reciever or balance plug to power the fan. Most whom made this move early with there esc's still are using them sucessfully. Hopefully they address this first in the V3.
both of my MMMs that died had the fan running plugged into the Rx.

Plaviblue, it sounds like you had the "Heatsink touching the output plugs" problem. One phase was always shorted so it cogged no matter what. Unless it was geared for like 80mph, then that would be your problem. :mdr:
I had a 54 spur and 16 pinion. I got my eagle tree data logger connected so I could do 1 or 2 good runs before things heated up too much to see where my current draw and rpm was. Guess not.

I have no more money :cry:.

I have a Mamba Max for back-up.

My back up is a stock e-maxx all FLM.....never brakes and always runs. Not bad for $600.......as opposed to the truck sitting on my workbench since may and about $1700 invested in it.:gasp:

Just found out when the MMM died it took out one of my brand new enerland hard packs. The copper tap comming out of the lipo cell was completely melted in half right before it was soldered to the positive lead. I guess it acted like a fuse....would have been much more flames if it would have not opened the circuit.

Dont fear the MMM reaper.I have 3 and all work great.And I am running 4s with a
Neu 1512/1.5 d and hammer the crap out of it

I considered buying one, but it's only $20 or so cheaper than normal and I'd like some more of the bugs to get worked out before I buy one. Besides, I'm in the market for a nice Bushmaster AR-15 with an M203 and 90 round magazine :lol:

I've got two box stock that are still running hard. Don't listen to the haters, most of em are just trolling.

I don't personally know anyone thats had anything go wrong with one...I still wont even accept there is a problem till I see one lol.

As long as you know what proper gear mesh is and don't expect to easily wheelstand all the way to 100mph in a 10kg all alloy monster truck, you should be right.

Every penny counts in my book. I hate it for you, but i just sold a bushmaster exactly like that with 2 90round beta mags for $800:surprised:.

I guess taking the fan off and exposing the heatsink would void the warranty?

Does anyone have a vehicle still running on 6 cells? It seems that all the functioning MMM are on 5 cells or less.

Last night I put in my 4th MMM..... the darn thing would not even arm. I could not get the red light to stop blinking.

plaviblue 10.05.2008 02:41 PM
Is it possible to have the motor go bad from the ESC frying???

I've got two of em, both on 6s.

I don't want this thread to get off subject, so i want to say i plan on running it on 5s. So please only post results from 4-5s operation. Also what can u mod that won't void the warranty. We have enough threads ranting about MMM, don't make this another one:smile:.
