mine met its maker today. Best 12 minutes of my life that ended in dissapointment (next to that 1 time in Thailand) :whip: The guy at castle was all "sorry we had some bad components go out in the controllers, send it back we are moving the monsters to the front of the line to be fixed"... I said dude dont worry about it, it was totally worth it !! 1515/1y on 6s was all id hoped it would be, even if for that brief moment lol

Mine just died in my E-Maxx. Same symptoms as everyone else! Back to Castle it goes!

Must be around 15 died now or more?

Kinda wondering how you got from 6 to 15, but ok. :neutral:

Quite a few have died in the last 24 hours as most people have now recieved their MMM and have it all hooked up. There are still probably hundreds out there that still haven't recevied theirs or mounted there. Not everyone that owns a MMM is on this forum
Check out this MMM

There also seems like alot of fans are breaking

bit of a shame, for those outside the states. with my luck it will break.:rofl:
the fans will always be a soft spot, has anyone run theirs without the fan? does it need it on say, 4s?

Ouch...that looks pretty painful! Looks like perhaps a short occurred somewhere there, around the status LEDs (maybe a separate issue?). I just received my MMM today, but don't have anything to run it in just yet...so I hope it's a good one.
As for the fans...well, anyone who jumps their truck (be it on a track, or bashing) is going to be delivering quite a bit of punishment to that little computer fan. Still, it's gotta be a pain for it to keep breaking.

Drift Buddy --

Your pictures you posted of a failure is atypical. That's a main FET failure. Did the fan die on that unit prior to the failure?

Patrick

Patrick, I sent my dead one in Attention Repairs/Chris, that's what I was told to do. It will be to CC Tuesday via fedex. What kind of turn around time do you expect?

I am just trying to make plans for next weekend and want to know if it will involve the Monster or not.

Thanks.

thats what my mm looks like that i just sent to you guys for replacment.(along with a check) mine desoldered one of the power wires. and melted the case. Made for a good show though:whistle:

What does that failure percentage look like?

Any talk of halting the shipments to fix the main issue?

got mine today...ordered from mike...tanks MIKE:yipi:wow:surprised:smooth and powerfull..i exactly do the same setting on my mmm that my mm have and its certainly 20% more punch and 15deg f lower on my motor...

e-mike = did you order from the first batch?

yes.....i run for about a hard:mdr:10 minutes and no problems,,,my setting is a feigao 9l ,4 cell lipo,, and no issue....i hope that my mmm i ''ok'' i saw few topic that the mmm die in the first 5 min off running......im always scared about that

I hope mine comes soon I'm an ESC short right now and debating a Sidewinder for a quick fix in an 1/18 truck. The Monster would solve this for me!

So do you got to be on some buddy list or something to actually get one of these from Mike? :neutral:

I ordered early in the first-batch and haven’t received a shipping notice, tracking number, nor the MMM. My order was submitted and confirmed on 4/26 (one day after Mike’s sale started). What gives? It’s pretty disappointing when others are receiving, using, and destroying their MM’s all before you even get yours :sarcastic:

there are only a half of the esc.who as shipped by mike because he does not receive the complete batch...me i was in the first sixteen in the list:rules:sorry but im sure that your in the next batch...however your automaticly sure that your mmm gonna work without issue

Nah, nothing like that. If Mike had one and you were in line - you would get it. He sold out of his first run pretty quick so if you didn't get in that group you're on the waiting list.

Mike shipped them first come, first serve. He was just misinformed on how many the first batch would have, and now Castle is fixing the initial problem and it is slowing down the next batch.

This was posted by Mike in another thread and pretty much explains it. If you order number was earlier than the one he posted then I'd send him an email. If its after, he is still waiting for CC to deliver to him.

I wonder how I look up my order number.. I paid with paypal so the money has already been taken out and I don't have an order number like that.

It will be in your order confirmation/receipt from mike. From (rcmonstermike@gmail.com) subject (Thank you for your order).

I’m 10008751, guess I missed it by 1… :cry:

I wonder if they are holding shipments to fix the know issue. Even though I hate to wait I would rather wait to get one with the known bugs fixed ...

I found my email finally.. I am ways off from that.. I guess I don't have to rush to order my NEU..
