Give it a rest please... Just three posts up Patrick's saying the are getting new cases built - adding a wink does not mitigate a pointless dig/comment.

That's great to hear, Patrick! Should solve a lot of problems :smile:

Great work jhautz. There might be something to your observation about the mounting of the MMM too. It'd be interesting to know how those with multiple failures are mounting it. I use dual lock tape which I think is more shock absorbent that regular velcro and my v1 MMM is still going strong.

OK, you're right, sorry.

jhautz,

This is great work. I salute u ! Gonna do that to all of mine now. It's things like this that make this forum & members such as yourselves invaluable.

I give this post a VERY big +1

jhautz and BrianG and others who have done their own experiments on the MMM failures and posted their results have, in my opinion, provided invaluable info and details to the company so that they could work to resolve the issue. I'm sure CC's techs were pulling their hairs out trying to get everything right and I'm sure that combined with the help from people on the forums will get the MMM on the right track. Hopefully v3 will be bug-free :party:

Despite the problems, I still want one for my Muggy :mdr:

I beg to differ, I feel these "pioneers" have done nothing but hinder my RC experience. How will I learn a lesson with out a good 22V to the noggin ? Art thou god ?

i didnt even notice mine was like that when i had it apart but that was a good observation

Patrick,

Your PM box is full, so here is hoping you see this. I just read your post "Well, I think we agree with you. We are currently reworking the mold to give about an additional 1.5mm clearance by changing the size of the board supports and the case bottom. we are also adding 1mm of clearance for the fan. The case will be taller overall, but will help prevent issues from board flexing and fan collisions during extreme Gs...

Patrick"

I think it is great that you guys may have found an issue. When you have the new case design will we have to send our MMM's in for this new case? Or can we have the case sent to us? I've had mine open many times to check the fan wires, still ok on my v2 after 30 hours, but the foam pad is looking worse for the wear.

I think it would be great if we had the option to send the MMM in for you guys to do the case swap for those less inclined or the option to have one sent to us and return the old (or trash it) so that we do not experience anymore downtime. If you would like some real world testing of this new case I would be happy to oblige. I am rather rough on my gear, I am no racer, but an extreme basher :lol:


Thanks,


Richard

for us international customers it would be cheaper/easier for us to be sent the replacement case. BUT for those in the states, it may be better to get the whole unit sent in so that they can be checked. (i.e. u recieve 2000 units, common wear problems would easily be indentified.

im having a feeling some of the mounting positions may have caused damage. not sure, but i was really careful so that it wouldnt break and it hasnt! BTW castle creations is awesome. relatively slow, but when they send you 4 motors cause u didnt know which one u sent in, and EMS them to you thats pretty damn good, even if it has taken 2 months! so thanks. when these issues are sorted out (im not complaning i still have one which works!) iill definately buy more one them!

I'd just like to post that NUMBER FIVE IS ALIVE!!!!

It's true.

I'm not kidding.

Number five is running with the red wire pulled from the esc receiver lead and using a CC BEC to power the receiver and servos. A pack later and it is still going strong. This is far longer then the first 4 that this truck killed. I can't wait to clean up the install a bit now and flog it like it was meant to be.

Glad to hear that :yes:

Yeah not really guaranteed that it will stay running but it is promising.

well its suprassed many of the failed ones. i just plugged mine in and went screw it, but after the 4th one id be a bit careful too :P

good luck with it - its AWESOME! and smooth!
