I sure hope that V3 firmware gets updated soon.

So, could you also comment, Patrick, on the clearance between the plugs on the motor side and the heat sink?
V3 software will be online either tonight or early tomorrow.

There is no issue with clearance between the plugs and the heat sink. We've tried every possible combination of short between the plugs and the heat sink, and it just doesn't cause any problems or issues. (usually it just ablates the aluminum and keeps right on going. -- in no case does an output short through the heat sink cause ESC failures.)

Thanks for the updates Patrick.

Any word on the motors though? Just curious as I am contemplating some changes to my revo.

Motors (first shipment will be 2200 and 2650Kv) are supposed to ship from China on November 14th.

Thanx!

How does a short accross the motor ouputs or battery inputs effect the lipo battery itself. Even a momentary dead short for a lipo can mean a dramatically shortened life for the cells.

From what I can tell, the cases are identical, so I guess CC do not have the new cases yet. IIRC, Patrick did say that they were getting them next week (2 weeks last week).

Everything else seems to be identical other than the brain board, which has a few deleted components, and a few new ones. Mainly seems to be confined to the Bec area.

More pics showing both v2 and v3:

I am getting there... I have to remove another MMM from my lst to test it. That truck runs 6s, so I figured it would be the best test of the esc. Plus I can plug the wires directly in, as it has the same bullet setup. I took the photos as soon as I got it.

JaySki 10.20.2008 07:30 PM
I have mine installed. All the same as Linc posted.
Raining outside and I need to remove the UBEC and let the V3 run it all and pray.
Also got a notification my number 2 V2 is on it's way.
Only thing I am concerned about at this point.. On my invoice, it was noted that they have one other repair that will ship(Did today). CC actually owes me 2 more on top of the two that have shipped.

Interesting note, The invoice stated "Repair Action: Replaced U1 has a phase shorted/not yet tested.
