How many MMM's work and how many dont?
 

I have had two already, one died during calibration, the other after 10 min total driving. Both were v2's with no mods. Would like to just see how many people have had no problems at all, and how many people have had failures.
Have been in the hobby for a long time and NEVER had problems like this with my electronics. I can deal with the fact that i wont be driving my car, but i am not happy about having paid x amount of dollars for two v2 controllers that are worthless. I dont want to rant or stir stuff up i would just like to see for my own personal satisfaction how many people are in the same boat as myself and many others.

my v2 died after 3 min.......:grrrrrr: and my v1 3 month:yes:

I don't know, but what i can say, is that CC is in a big boat, on a very angry ocean, and the tunel is very dark. And i don't know if CC could finaly see the light at the end of this tunel.
Patrick and all his staff have a big problem on their arms, and i hope that they'll can solve this problem before a companies like Novak of LRP come with a solid and reliable HV controller for 1/8 scale vehicule.
And i'am sure that Novak and LRP will offer this products in a very near futur.
Losi just exit their BL system, it's only 5s, but i'am sure that if their present system work good on 5s, they'll offer realy soon a 6s + controller.

I've a MMM V2 who'll supose to arrive this week, it is for sale now, but i can't sale it before i'll recieve it, i'll give it a try. If he died, i'll return it to CC and stop the electric R/C right now.

I'am tired to deal with poor controller. They've no companie for now who can claim that their controller is reliable. This is all dump.....

Jsut my 0.0002 cent

right!!!!:rules:

1 of my two MMM V2 died after 10 min (BEC)
The other one has only 1 hour on it but runs.

3rd in Mail.....

i got one dead

yeah..... i dont know how this is all gonna turn out but seems to me that ALL MMM have had a lifespan of couple months at most (except briang's!!!). problem is looking like the bec is going out and disabling the controller. doesnt castle make a ccbec as well? why not use its design, or damn the bec altogether. i would rather use an external bec rather than have to ship my esc in every month. not an electrical engineer or anything so i cant really help in that respect.

i have a v1 that works perfectly since i got it(except for the switch and fan):yipi:

My v1 died after about an hour but I'm pretty sure it was my 8xl that killed it, not CC's fault but they replaced it with a v2 that I have about an hour on now with no problems since I got it working. Had a problem getting it to work at first because I had to update the firmware, since then no problems running with a 1515 2.5d Tekno Neu on 4s. Fan only comes on at startup, highest temp it has seen is 127* and that was running through tall/thick grass.

e-revonut ...lucky you are:yes:

but for the v2 i think we ave more failure that the v1..!!???

Although you may be right, not sure though, I think percentage wise they are doing better. If I remember correctly there was only 750 v1's released and they had about a 10% failure. I'm pretty sure that they have released many more v2's, at least 3 times that, so even if there was 150 failures, they're still ahead. Although I'm fairly new to the BL world I have learned alot in my short time here. I read alot of these threads. I beleive that I had read that they had similar failure rates with the MM. Now we have a near bulletproof esc that is getting pushed far beyond it's intended limits. I honestly beleive that everyone needs to be patient. We are really asking a lot of these controllers and of CC.

i agree the more controllers you produce the more failures you will end up with. but man it sucks to wait so long and have 2 go bad while i watch others grin ear to ear while they destroy their cars in MMM heaven...lol

I feel your pain, I got a taste of it then my Revo sat for about 2 months waiting for my v2

i feel confident from my minimal exp. with the controller it wil be solid, someday. when that is or what it takes to get there, have no clue. like many said/know this MMM is a good package deal ie. price, features, etc. but in the land of instant gratification, we want it now(like it helps!lol)

I know when mine ded it died after ten minutes of running 4S in a 3905 E-MAXX and it was geared 18/68,it died and while I was at my Bashing spot I looked at the MMM and tried turning it off then on again it jumped about a foot or less,I took it home turned it on again and he same thing waited ten minutes or so it turned on again all the light's were flashing and it was wanting me to recailbrate it to the radio again so I did and it started the same thing all over again just jump's a foot then die's.The voltage from the BEC when I took a reading with my voltmeter was at .25 volt's.I think it could be another BEC problem were seeing but I'm no expert so I'm olny guessing,I was not using a CC/BEC with my MMM but did with my MM now I'm wishing I had,don't know if it would have made a difference though.On a lighter note here's a good MMM joke for you guy's.
How many idiot's does it take to find a reliable MMM in a mountain of MMM'S,give up,zero idiot's there is no such thing as a reliable MMM.
If you read my joke Patrick you gotta admit it's sort of funny,unless you read my joke just after your next profit meeting then you'll be laughing saying the next time that Bastard calls in saying his MMM is another dud tell him to get bent and we'll see who's laughing now.

1 V1 died
1 V2 flammed

How many MMM's work and how many dont?
i'd like to keep a tally if at all possible...

I don't think that's going to be very easy,first off you would need to find out from castle how many there selling and sending out for replacement then contact everyone because I'm sure most people tht own them don't all belong to rcmonster or the Traxxas forum.I would just start a thread and whenever a person post's about there MMM went south and you see it PM them and ask them how it died and then edit your post and just keep adding the new numbers as the add up.

I honestly feel bad for you guys whos V2s are smoking or catching fire. Mine came to me before Patrick even knew they were shipping,my original connectors were clipped off my V1 and all of it mailed back to me. I just got back from my nightly sunset drive to roll over hour #26 on the V2 hourmeter. I swap between 3 motors on it and change the gearing constantly and drive on 4s,5s and 6s and it just keeps going, Motor was 128 (2d) 26/62 and V2s fan goes on now and then but never for long after I stop to take temps, and I havent modded 1 thing on it. I wonder where it went wrong.. Sabotage I say !! Check the emplyees backgrounds

My guess is that most are breaking. How bout the poor guy with 4 v.2 that broke.

I want those of you who are blowing them up geared for 75mph on a 1.5d running 15c 6s in a 12lb monster truck to get a MGM and see if the V2 is the problem or your setup is

I've flame my MGM 16018 on my 10lbs e-revo with a 1515 2.5d geared for 37 m/h.

So MGM are probably not better than CC, the only difference is here on this forum, they have about 2% of guys who ran MGM and all other run MMM.

So they've les chance to ear about guys how flame MGM, but the risk is there.

I've tell it, THEY HAVE NO RELIABLE 6S CONTROLLER ON THIS F... PLANET

:lol::lol::lol:

I feel ya David, I do..

You are probably right David!:yes:

lets see what castle should do or repply this week:mdr:

:eyes:

v.1 still work on my red anodized maxx with 4s and 6s(4000mah), feigao 9XL-8XL

Probably should edit that and state "car controller". There are plenty of ESCs out there that will do well over 6s. :wink:

Wade7575 I cant believe god didnt delete your post shame on you...that was a funny joke though. Heres one..... How do you bullet proof your mmm? By throwing away your transmitter! PS the mgm 120.32 esc is a reliable 6s control.

Yes, maybe you're right, but 99% of the guys here run truck:wink:

Both my MMMv2s work great.But I had 3 previous MMM V1s fail.So I feel your pain
8T 1515 1.5d 4s 6000 MMM V2
Matrix FRE 1512 1.5d 3s 6000 MMM V2

phatmonk did you mod your V2's or not?

No I didnt but I kinda felt like i should.But what the hay these things should be engineered to work out of the box.I have 2 packs on each MMM V2 about 45 minutes each.And I have abused them a bit pulling wheelies in my 8T on 4s and some wild drivin in my Matrix on 3s.Timing set at 0 in both setups.:diablo:

my V2 good after 40 minutes driving 4x cell, medusa 2000kv geared for 40mph...but do expect it to blow:lol:
funny thing is my Novak HV 6.5 lasted 5 minutes before it blew the capacitor and now back with Novak for warranty repair and dont have much luck with Novak as I got a GTB a few yrs ago and it blew to..sort of opposite for me
