Another Dead MMM
 

I thought I was one of the lucky few with a working MMM until now. I was doing speed passes trying to dial-in my steering and on the second pass, the truck just came to a halt. I walked towards the truck and I know something was wrong because I didn't hear the fan running. There were no lights too. I went home and plug it to the Castle link and it said nothing is connected to it.

The MMM was running in stock configuration with the exception of the wire added to extend the switch.

My setup is on my signature.

Now starts the most agonizing wait :no::no::no:.

I guess my nitros will get some attention again :lol:.

Unlucky, how much runtime did you get out of the MMM?

I believe this the last of the V1 models to give out smoke.

I commend you my friend.

Now order a V2.

I had been running it about 3-4 times a week since I received and installed my Tekno RC motor on June 11, 2008. Average runtime was 20-30 minutes since I only have a pair of 3S 5000mah Neuenergy lipos. I only ran my batteries until the LVC cutoff hit 19.2V once.

Oh well. I initially planned on exchanging it for V2 eventually so I guess I'm getting the V2 after all.

Alawi, if I order a V2, it will take me longer to have one since Patrick stated in a thread that the first ones to get them are the people with broken MMM. I'm on that category now.

well i think you have the most time on your controller, more than a day straight thats for sure. pitty it broke now and not in a week or so time when the new one is out. then you can have a neu controller and a neu motor! haha... :party:

I know. I'm thinking of selling my Tekno RC neu 1515 1Y now :lol:.


Edit- Did you guys have to send the receipt and the conectors/switch? I'm planning on calling CC tonight (Japan time) and ask them if I have to remove the 6.5mm connectors before sending the ESC.

i still have a v1. Has 3 track days. 3 or 4 tooling around days. Total of probably 25+ cycles on a FP 5s 5000mah running a 1yf in a savage. I am however jsut waiting for mine to fail. As soon as castle gets some v1 fixed i will be sending mine in for a v2 regardless if it is working or not

Mine is still going strong. Lots of run time on it.

My V1 is still rocking too. :-)

Yeah well, I was just joking around. :lol:

It's a common sense for the first units to have their own "distructive" defects. I have great faith in the second batch. Considering all the mods CC has put into them, I believe they'll be much tougher than their previous ones. CC should also modify the cases of these controllers to withstand hard beating.

I think it is tough as it is. Although i secure mine good and in spots to where it wont get beat on. I hit some pretty rough terrain too. Sky high jumps, speed runs, all of it. Still going with not a single problem. KNOCK ON WOOD

Mine went out today :neutral:

I was humiliating a bunch of nitros at the local track when it suddenly just stopped 7-8 minutes into the race. It has lasted 12-15 pack but sadly it´s gone now :angel:

Well, no biggie, I´ll be sending it to CC to get a new one tomorrow. Guess I have to get a mamba max while I´m waiting for the new monster to arrive...

we wait for the v2 version thats-it!!!!!who want 3 v1 mmm:lol::mdr:

Last race my V1 started to act up. It would just quit in a high load situations after a second or two it would work again. I had to turn off the low voltage cutoff and all was good.

That does not imply you have a bad MMM it implies you batteries can't take the load - Review your setup as you are stressing your batteries too much and they could puff...

Did you guys ever notice this on CC's website?

http://www.castlecreations.com/

I tried calling but nobody is answering the phone.

By the way, did you guys remove all the connectors before sending your ESC for repair?

Yes as you won't get them back...

Finally a sunny day, hopefully I will be able to take my MMM out today for a run

Eagletree data showed no battery problem. I'm confident that my 5000mah
6s Thunder Power V2 extremes are more than capable

for those of you guys with the still working v1 mmm, are you guys planning to replace it with the v2?
mine is still working fine, and im hesitating if i want to or not, just trying to get some ideas why i should or shouldnt. i kinda like how the wires are coming out of the mmm.

Well i'll have to wait for it to kill itself first. :angel:

for me.. when the v2 version come out first buy 2 of these:yes: ..and ship to cc my 3 v1 mmm(still running prety hard)for update:party:

Did CC say they will take back any V1's for the update?

yes.... this has been asked literally 100's of times over different forums... AFTER everything has settled down

I got a Mamba 25 replaced a while ago and they cut my connectors off and sent them back to me with the new esc.

Yeah that's what they did with my MMM the first time it was sent back even though it was the same esc that was sent back to me they still took the deans plug off. Probably something to do with testing.

Great. I took off the deans and 6.5mm connectors before sending it off this morning.

wish i had known that...

..oh well...you live, you learn

Good decision! :yes:

i would cut them off as well. Worst that can happen that way is they send it back with new plugs or none at all.

my first v1 died today after 15 min of running....it stop to work after a weelie on the street:surprised:nothing no receiver signal....but castle link work great?????all me wire are good

the esc was running so far (3 month)

i send it back to castle.....

lucky its not too far from being replaced! and canada is closer than Australia... hope you get it back upo and running quickly!

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. I received a shipping notification last Aug 12 but military mail sucks arse. It takes about 6-9 days for me to receive packages from the U.S. even though it was USPS Priority :no::no::whip::whip:.

george..sorry to hear about that..youre not gonna believe how many MMM's ive been through

My MMM v2 died on me today, just stopped working. No reciever signal or anything but the castlelink still works, just like E-mikes. Back to castle it goes...

How many MMM v2´s have failed so far?

I don't think to many have failed. My fan controller failed but the rest of it works fine.

I only know of 3 so far including you.

theres more than that..trust me

So, First 5S Test - now my MMMv1 is dead too :/
Fan was blocked so the block current kill the board or so ?! F***

I have a logging of the death drive ...
