Mmm V2 Up In Smoke !!!
 

OMG !!! I thought the nightmare was over!

I got the first v2 MMM last week....ran it about 10 times on 4s and 6s configurations...not even a hiccup.

plugged the batteries in this mornng, turn on the switch...and ppffftt!

a small puff of white smoke comes out the side..and of course, it is done for

just came back from the post office.....oh, the agony:surprised:

At least i'm not the first one to kill one this time...:tongue: sorry to hear about that Larry. I was looking forward to seeing some mean speed run vids from you.

That's just cause you didn't have one yet? :lol:

Larry, was it the fan wires shorting out? Did you open it up and check what might have casued it?

I'm taking the fan out of mine. :(

and maybe working on a new custom case too

Larry you plugged in 2x 3s 5000 mah Maxamps lipos and a Neu 1.5d ? Had you run this configuration with the MMM v2 before ?

this is not the news i wanted to hear i thought the problems had been ironed out
now thats two things i heard i wonder if it was to do with the fan wires
keep us posted
has anyone else got there v2 back a tried it yet

and o yeah sorry to hear about your mmm i bet your gutted :diablo:

ive ran my v2 for just over 3 hours combined time and no issues yet. Im trying to get Larry to say he screwed up so I feel better LOL but I know thats not the case. Ugh. Think I may take mine apart this evening and mod up the case and stuff like in BrianGs post.

you no you shouldnt temp fate dont you

nope..didnt open it...

oh yes....ive run 3 differnt sets of 3s through it..ive run 3s maxamps 5000's.....3s venom 5400's and 3s maxamps 6000's.....the last 2 actually fit in the battery tray, but you cant close the door!

im telling you..the esc never got over 104 on multiple 6s speed runs....it was performing flawlessly!

the failure occurred right when i turned on :gasp:the switch

i think i was the first to get the v2....how appropriate to be the first one to have v2 puff

Sounds right, I was not the 1st to get a V1, but was the 1st to put it in a truck and do any real world testing with it, I received mine v1, 2 days after the
first one were received. have you opened the case yet?

My MM that failed on 5s was similar to yours. Power on and fried before I even got to pull trigger.

Thats fantastic, now I don't know if I should even run it for fear of frying my battery. When my V1 went up in smoke I only got lucky that the battery did not go too.

I guess I'll ebay it and stick to my nitro for another six months.

MGM here I come!
