I have my 2nd V2 in hand today, cant get the wife and kids to leave so I can solder it up, nerve racking sons a biochez. Guess another 2am solder session

lucky you are guy's:mdr:

for me my first v1 died yesterday(yes!!!! 3 month of hard street bashing:surprised:)he died after a weelie......:whip:send it back to cc...hope is return soon....

and im waiting for my second mmm(v2 )

No. The system. Mike's customer service is second to none. I have no doubt that Mike has done everything in his power to make us customers happy (except to maybe bypass the middle man). Mike has done a lot for the 1/8 scale electric RC hobby and now he and his customers are being let down.

Mike will take care of all customers as fast as possible, I can tell you that. Although he doesn't buy straight from Castle, I know the distributor and they are not the cause of bottleneck. It is merely that Castle is having trouble keeping up with demand!

Now as to who gets what controllers when, that is another matter that we can't even guess on. I do know that Castle is sending out partial orders so that everybody gets a few here and a few there.

And for us, it's like every day is something new. Today we ran out of 6.5mm connectors... bleah. Supposed to have more Monday.:tongue:

awwwwww.....chit! Its been so long since I researched this that I forgot they were 6.5mm. I bought 6mm connectors. Are the 6.5's already soldered on? Hopefully not, so I can just use my 6mm's

6.5 are just soldered on to the side of the wire that plugs into the esc, you can use the 6mms fine for the other end and the motor

my v1 almost died yesterday as well. i was bashing for 10 mins then needed to take a break because my 7xl as usual. 10 mins later, plugged everything in, turned the esc on, no beeps, no lights, but the fan was working. no signal to the remote either.
then i unplugged everything, and plugged everthing back in, mmm started working again.
wierd. it ran the entire lipo no problem afterwards.
i wonder why this happened.

It was still taking a rest break when you finished yours...

lol yea thats what it seemed like. thing got me worried for a min there....it maybe a sign that its telling me its gonna poop soon.

ok guys...so how in fact do we tell V1 from V2? is it marked on the unit/box?

or do we have to wait for the subtle tell tale signs of an RC inferno?

just curious.

V1 has the main wires sticking out, V2 has female plugs instead (see above post #337)

Dang! I feel bad. I'm waiting on my 5th one. :whistle:

So far I've had 2 v1's and 2 v2's. One of my v2's is still running but I'm waiting for the other. :mdr:

but the question is, is the one you got running, up to scratch> i.e. are you happy with it. if yes then dont worry, one day it will be back to normal... until castle creations decide to bring out the HV prematurely. a 10S lipo going bang would be a pretty dangerous event... hope that never happens to anyone.

ok thanks cobber,

v1 has the wires hard soldered to the unit ,v2 has connectors soldered to the unit. gotcha mate.:smile:
