Who Still Has a Working MMM 'V1'
 

Just wondering who still has a working MMM V1 and what Firmware you are running? I have only changed the settings on the ESC, I have never updated the Firmware from what it is out of the box

I have a working v1 with the original v1.17 firmware and a working v2 with v1.19 firmware.

i've got one as well...my MMMv1 is in my 8ight w/ updated firmware.....my MMMv2 is working as well in my muggy...

two of my friend here have one unit ...each one still going strong:yes:

V1 still good, box stock, 1.19 on 6s

I have 2 that are still up and running 1.17 firmware on 6S, ccbec and fan wired to run off ccbec

still working in my e-revo on 6s.

Still working on 4s ATM with my mod, will go to 5s in the future.

My first two v1's went up in smoke, but my 3rd v1 is going strong with the original firm ware. I just cut the top of the case off and run with no fan. Works great. Temps typically about 150 - 170 after a 10 or 15 minute main.

I run 5s with a Neu 1512 3d or 1515 2.5d depending on how I feel that day.

I have a V1 that is still working v1.17 software and It just went back into the XT8 truggy to replace the V2 that had a BEC failure. I originally pulled out of the truggy to replace it with the V2 I got in replacement for my first failed V1. Not allot of run time on it yet. Maybe 3 hours or so. My 2 other V1s lasted well past this long before the BEC died in them, so I'm still holding my breath. The V2 I had only made it an hour or 2 before the BEC went. I still have a V2 that hasn't been plugged in yet. Waiting for the V1 to go first.

Edumakated, Internal bec?

Still have 1 v1 that works fine. Must have 1.17 firmware, as I do not remember changing it. I have played with the settings with the castle link quite a bit. Running 4s with a 1515 1.5d.

I have a V1 MMM (with no mods) that is going strong with lots of run time on it in my 8ight. I am using the stock firmware, or whatever it came withe when I bought it.

I also have a V2 MMM (with no mods as well) that is going strong too. :yes: I had a short test with it in my 8ight, and a short test with it in my CRT.5. I will have much more testing with it in the CRT.5 this upcoming weekend.

I also plan on buying one more MMM for my 8ight-T which will be running 6s. The 8ight and CRT.5 are both running 4s at the moment... but I can't be happier with the performance of the MMM's I currently have. :yes:

Edit: If anyone cares about the set ups, I am running a Hyperion 4s 5350mah pack in the 8ight with a Hitec HS-5997MG servo and Tekno Neu 1515/1y motor geared 47/17. And the CRT.5 has a Neu 1509/1.5y motor, Flightpower 4s 4370mah lipo pack and a Hitec HS-5245MG servo geared 46/16.

i do :-)

I have 2 v1 MMMs both with upgraded firmware working fine. Both running 6S with Neu 1515s and internal BEC.

V1, stock firmwear, low timing, 30% brakes, 12.0 cutoff. I have run it with a 1515/1y on 4s in a Tekno Revo, 8ight-T and LST2. Never changed settings, never disconnect motor wires, never look at it wrong. Just move it from truck to truck and race with it. Probably has 12-15 race days on it. No mods; fan still blowin'!

My V1 still works perfectly, now with V1.19 firmware, no mods at all

The only thing that broke was the fan, that recently lost one of the blades.

V1 here running 1.17, Neu 1512 2.5D, 4s ~4800mah, in a 1/8 buggy geared for about 45mph. The V1 had its fan removed, but is running the internal BEC.

I have 1.17 in mine, 10XL 6S A123, all stock. Hyper 7 geared 14/46 No problems, except breaking/failing about 6 fans.

My rc buddy THA5150 who comes on here every so often still has a working V1 with the 1.19 firmware. Ours arrived the same day back in .. what was it? march? lol

My V1 is still alive and kicking, running on 6s2p of A123 cells, fan still A-OK, no mods, refuses to die despite stuffing it full of grass and stalling the fan for an entire run.

My v1 MMM with 1.17 firmware with the case modded to allow a bigger fan is still going strong! :mdr: Lots of runtime too...

Yup. Using the internal BEC. I also have a v2 that is holding up pretty well, but I am just going to keep using the v1. After the abuse I put it through and if it is still going strong, no need to mess up a good thing. I am going to add a cap to it to take a little pressure off since I don't have a fan on it.

For those that care about setups:

RC8
V1 MMM (top of case cut off completely, no fan)
1512 3d and 1515 2.5d
5s 4000 Zippys
Dx3r w/ Receiver
Geared for about 35-42 mph depending on track

mine still works running 4s and the v3.051 castle software

My v1 is also still working. Was one of the first day CC sell off. Stock setting and firmware except 30% brake. Has not seen much action recently but used heavily initially on 4s, 5s & 6s w/neu 1515/1y. Also used for 60+mph run on emaxx. Incidentally I also have another v1 from the rc-monster order that's still new (in case the first one didn't last).

my v1 is still running in Maxx, 6s 4000mah, spur 65t pinion 22t, 8-9XL feigao, ext. bec, and firmware 1.17. Dunno when it will die?

Wasn't sure to update the firmware incase that was one of the problems.

My Setup:
8IGHT - 13T/46T - 1512 2.5D/F - Standard Firmware - Ext. Bec - 5S 5000mah

Anyone know the difference between 1.17 and 1.19?
Going by the website 1.18 was a stuff up with the LVC and 1.19 was to fix it but what is the difference in the 3?

Dear Mamba Monster Owner,

Thank you for purchasing a Mamba Monster controller. We are very excited about this new product and we sincerely feel it will surpass your expectations. We have identified a software problem with the initial build of the V2 Monsters.

WHAT: The software bug affects the low voltage cutoff. The cutoff works fine as long as the controller is operating below 1/3 throttle when the cutoff voltage is reached. If the controller is operating above 1/3 throttle, the low voltage cutoff will not function until the controller is commanded to go to a lower throttle setting. This may allow users to run their battery packs below the recommended voltage and harm their batteries. NOTE - We always recommend that you should "time" your runs with LIPO batteries such that you stop using the batteries BEFORE you hit the LVC. Think of it in terms of the airbag in your car. It's nice to have, but you are better off not having to use it.

WHO: This only affects version 1.18 software, and there are only about 50 controllers that were shipped with this version of the software. We have updated all other V2 controllers that were still in manufacturing before they were shipped. The individuals that this update directly affects will be contacted via email or postcard. However, if you are concerned that you may be one of the "lucky" few to receive the Mamba Monster with version 1.18. Please use the USB link kit included with your controller to link the controller and update it to version 1.19. Mamba Monster controllers with ver. 1.17 are NOT affected.

my v1 still works.broke the fan and ditched the switch.4s,neu 1515 1y on a truggy.i already messed up a couple of lipos and my neu is sent back for repair.so my mmm lasted longer than any of my other stuff:lol:

savage FLM (heavy)
1515 1Y
16/47
5S 5000mah
MMMv1 stock firmware so proly 1.17
No failures at all, not even the fan and i am hard on my toy. 10+ ft high jumps every run.

E-Revo
MMM v1 on 1.17 firmware
Neu 1515 1.5D for two months
Neu 1515 1Y for the last week
2xMA 8000mah LiPos

Straight out-of-the-box MMM, no mods.
Using single steering servo (HiTec 5955TG).
Spektrum DX3R

Both motors work great. Have geared for anywhere between 38-52mph according to Brian's script.

Have used custom LVC settings between 12-13v.

Have used 'normal' and 'lowest' timings.

Have used anywhere from 10-50% punch control.
(always lowest start power)


Hope this helps.

The MMMv1 I sold to my friend is still running strong. It's stock, but has the 1.19 firmware. He's running it on 5s lipo with a Medusa 60-1600kV motor.

He chipped a fan blade the other night, but I had an extra MMM fan, so he'll just swap them out.

My still is fine. The only "mod" is that I accidently severed the switch wire between my spur and pinion. So I am running an E-Maxx on 4s with a 1515 1y.
