MMM guts?
 

Anyone have pictures of the MMM internals? I just got a MMM in the mail today and immediately opened it up. The first thing I noticed is that there is a seeminly misaligned component on the inderside of the FET board, right where the throttle and switch wires are. It looks like a diode or something similar. I can't tell if it is supposed to be like that or what.

I know someone has posted nude pics already but can't find them...

TIA!

DING, I win the speed round!

lol, thanks! I don't know how I missed that. Must not be using the right search terms...

Hmmm, interesting. That pic doesn't even have the component I'm referring to. It would be right under the wires in this pic:

I'll try to get a pic of mine when I get home. I got this one for a VERY good price from a fellow forum member. According to him, it was one that had the BEC issue and was repaired by Castle.

From the looks of things, Castle put the component across the input power using the capacitors as the access point. The angle is simply because that is the only way it would fit without adding wires.

You beat me to this esc by mere minutes...

You bastard, I hope it causes you much trouble!

Just kidding, hope it works well...

Mwahahaha!

lol, I hope it works too. It's probably going to go in my buggy and replace the 125B.

BrianG; you can't use that ESC... it has a fan!

:rofl: He's right Brian...it's against your BL religion or something like that. May cause bad juju.

Not for long if brian has his way....

I am sure we will see something riduclous replacing the stock heatsink...

I think you mean juwabawaba. That's a pretty wibblin'* word.

Wibblin'*: Derogatory term for cool.
Wow! I've made up 2 words today!! :rules:

Nah, I really did mean bad juju:

That laugh was on you, buddy! Now put your pants back on.

lol, the fan was the first thing to go. Case modding to follow. Then, I am going to see about removing the stock HS and replace with something a little better (but not too dramatic). But before I go crazy, I wanna see if it works. Maybe even let it sit on my bench for a while running to make sure the BEC stays functional.

Hey Brian, I removed the fan on my MMM before ever powering it up too :yes:. Although I didn't mod the case... But it won't get hot enough anyways.

How do you guys open the case? I see those little holders all around it, but I can't release them.
