WHOA - Guys --

What we are trying to prevent is the fact that people are jamming screwdrivers into the slots on the case and breaking parts off the circuit boards, and ripping wires off circuit boards trying to "fix" issues that don't even exist. 80% of the V3 failures we have seen here at Castle on the V3s have been people who are freaked out about WHAT THEY HAVE READ HERE and have decided to implement a "fix" (for something which isn't a problem) and ended up damaging the boards.

If you are careful and open the case correctly, we don't have a problem with it. But we are reserving the right to DENY fixing under warranty if you are careless and damage the board by jamming a screwdriver into the case slots and destroy parts.

AGAIN, and I have said this like FIVE TIMES already -- there is no problem with the bullets and the heat sink. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BULLETS and the HEAT SINK. DO I NEED TO SAY IT AGAIN???

AND so far we haven't seen any problem with the fan and wires on the new case either -- not a SINGLE case of wires even rubbing in the new cases-- but we have had 8 people destroy Monsters trying to "fix" the fan wire "problem" because of what they have read here in this forum.

SO -- don't open your case just 'cause you want to. You might break something.

Sweet, thanks for posting that up. Was wondering how I was going to put a V3 case on my V1 :neutral:

Hmmm -- ok, I have no comment for this, other than maybe it's not a good idea to run your system through freshly mowed grass?

If you got grass wrapped up in the drive shafts would you blame Traxxas for not completely enclosing all of the drive components? :neutral:

I have got to say something here. Castle's CS is second to none from their MM to the MMM V3. They have sent out replacements before the broken parts were even recieved, they answer you promptly, and they price their components fairly. I deny anyone to post a company that has better CS. ANND all of this with major production problems on major components.

well, I accidentally jumped in my pool with my IPhone in my pocket, and they ended up replacing it for free . . . (kind of a long story about HOW I got it replaced for free -- but they did take really good care of me.)

Considering it was COMPLETELY my fault, I think they took real good care of me. (Actually, the REAL story is about the 19 year old girl who was trying to THROW me into the pool... but I digress...)
