I guess mate you either good a good one, or a bad one, simple as that.

Hopefully the next one I get is a good one :)

i still belive it's the way you treat them and then they are great on 6s.
ive been told before that my MMM programing is "wimpy" so that might be the case.
i cant upload MMM.dat files onto here and i cant remember my setup but basically...if i MASH the throttle on 6s, it can pull a wheelie with a center diff (revo w/ the 3905 CD)

not that that is saying much but it's pretty wimpy by most peoples standards.

maybe that's my cause for success on 6s?

IMO the problem with the MMM is the end user!!! People that gear their trucks to the moon are bound to have problems. Just because your truck still has the power to wheelie when geared for 60MPH doesn't mean that you can gear it higher! Brushless motors don't have a brain and will work themselves until they become a molten chunk of metal! I have run on 4s, 5s, & 6s and never geared for more than 50MPH. When I was geared for 50MPH I had quality batteries, 6s, and a quality motor with a proper kv rating for running 6s. Stop listening to Traxxas and HPI and start listening to the knowledgeable members on here. Sure a Revo or flux can do 60MPH....under ideal circumstances! Quality 6s Lipos, proper gearing, smooth drivetrain, and a smooth throttle finger. Gearing for 40-45MPH and running 6s will get better temps, longer life of the system and you'll still have a grin from ear to ear!

Sorry for my rant but I'm tired of hearing how peoples MMM died in their 15+lb truck geared for 50+MPH

here here ^^
see my post "whine and winge forum"...same thing...silly isnt it.

Mine's still going strong, too. It's one of the few remaining V1s with the V3 case and latest software, running 5S Elite 35C LiPos and geared for about 60mph. I know, that sounds high...but my Havoc is only 2WD, and lighter than most other 1/8th trucks (plus, I would've struggled to fit a smaller pinion!).

Fact is, the motor has never exceeded 140F even on a 30C day, and even though the fan is always on (being a V1), the best temp reading I could get wasn't more than 120. This is with punch control disabled, timing at low and brakes at 35%. And using the interal BEC with an Ace DS1015 servo...which really draws some current.

I absolutely LOVE it.:yipi:

My V3 is working flawlessly as well, on a 16Lb Maxx.... Just love the programming part of it...I'm pretty much converting everything that uses 6S or less to the MMM Escs.. even my touring car will use the MMM ESc.. LOL castle makes great ESCs... For the price of the MMM, it's just a bargain... I use to spend $200+ on 61 Amp EScs... and $400+ for 129 Amp Escs... so the MMM is awesome!

My V2 has been working flawlessly as well for a year now. I have always used 6s and it has done service in a 3905 E-Maxx, E-Revo, and now an LST2 conversion with the 2200 motor geared for around 50. It's a beautiful thing really!

My Monster has been abused and is still going strong. It's sitting in a ~16 pound truck currently geared for about 50 MPH on 4s lipo with Losi 420 wheels/tires. The fan comes on quite a bit but it's a trooper! I bought a new pinion to stress my setup less, but the MMM is solid as far as I'm concerned. I'm most-likely buying another one in a few months for another 1/8th scale conversion and maybe another one after that to replace my aging MGM (burned up the BEC last time I ran it :oh:).
