Give some money to a good charity.


ANOTHER shameless plug -- and thread hijack!

Wow, 3 pages already!!!! I go to sleep for a couple of hours and woke up to this. Just got back from the gym. Great!!!

I'm glad you understand what it's like to be in war. I just hate it when someone says something which strikes a chord within me.

Thanks for your support to those brothers in arms over there. I know how crucial every bit of free time and relaxation is towards easing and healing the wounds of war both mentally and physically.

Keep up the good work.


By the way, my stock MMM V1 was ran with the following setup:
51T spur
20T pinion
2x 3S Neuenergy 25C 5000 mah lipos
43/13 buggy diff gears
5955TG steering servo

It was working fine for about a month until it suddenly stopped running :yes:.

I think I might be the only one who is just waiting for good news. I'll still wait until everything is working perfect before I do get one.

I'm doing the same.
Still running MM 6s1p A123 with no issues.

I'm a complainer and I'm taking your advise 100%.

I would like to add that the MMM cost alot of us around $150-160 shipped. Most comparable escs are nearly twice the price, and lack one or more features of the MMM. Castle is throwing us a huge bone here, so lets cut them some slack...


Well said...for what this controller has to offer, and the price we paid for it...come on people, lighten up. Besides, it is a NEW product, it takes time to work out ALL the bugs. We should all commend CC for the support of this product and for the other controller products as well. To those who are complaining, how many have a MM esc? I would be willing to bet most of you. When they released the MM esc, it took time to get the bugs out and now, they have a tremendous esc on their hands which many of us enjoy.

In this hobby NOTHING is guaranteed fool proof...... Be patient......... and good things will come!

Maybe a better analogy is that I have been waiting for tools from Xray for months, parts for a car as well for a few weeks now. Waiting on parts from HPI as well which have also been AWOL for weeks now too. It's not just Castle that have issues keeping up with supply and demand.

I swear it is the 5955tg steering servo killing my MMMs becs. I may be wrong but I think that sucker can pull some big amp spikes.

tc3_racer_001 08.29.2008 05:17 AM

mtbiker - im not sure, but i was wondering about this when the v1's were dieing. i estimated 60-80% were killed with a 5955tg servo... im not sure. but im hoping castle did some decent research when thats a very popular servo with MONSTER trucks... :)

im not too fussed. mine will probably die anyway knowing my luck haha.

TexasSP 08.29.2008 09:05 AM

I would think it shouldn't kill the bec as it is a very popular servo with plane guys as well.

I've never put a baby in a microwave, and I have never seen it happen before either. Does that make me unqualified to say it's not a good thing?

Why do certain people who have served in the military make it their crusade to call out anyone who has not served? I don't think anyone needs to be shouted down for saying that acts of war are much worse than your stupid rc toys. I think it's blatantly obvious, and can be mentioned by a guy whether or not he has seen it happen first hand.

Nobody said they know what it's like to serve in Iraq without being there. Chill....

When I was in 5th grade I saw a classmate get his head pancaked by a school bus tire right in front of me. So I guess I'm the only one qualified to say it's a bad deal to get your head ran over on the way to school.

Not to mention there are lots of war heroes that talk about it and have never seen combat. People who have been knee deep in fire fights and combat usually have very little if anything to say about it. Respect others and you will get respect in return. That is my motto. Whether you were in service or not.
