Is my MMM dead?
 

So I was running my E-Revo around a field and brought it in.

Then it just stopped and the middle (green) light was flashing, so I thought that the LVC kicked in... So I brought it home, cleaned it up... and charged the batteries. Today, I turn it on, and nothing.

Doesn't give any power to my motor. The L/R control still works though....

One more thing; When I hook up the CC link to it, the MMM light turns on, but the CClink itself get's pretty darn warm/hot...


Any ideas?

Something's probably shorting inside causing the CC link to get hot. If I were you, I'll just box it up and send it back to Castle. Granted it will be awhile to get a replacement based on the email I received last Friday.

well, I called on the 3rd of September, and had a replacement MMM on the 11th...


What e-mail did you receive?

FIXED.


I opened up the case. the two switch wires were touching, causing a mad short... pulled the wires apart with tweezers and put super glue on them to stop them from being able to touch.

I received an email after sending in my V2 stating that there will be a slight delay in production.

i talked to thomas and he said that they were not going to make any more until the problem was fixed, he said that they had got trucks from people that had them fail and they were trying to get one to fail so they know whats wrong

Huh? You bridged the switch connections and now its working..

Isn't that just leaving it in the on position. :neutral:

If you ever have to do anything like that again to glue something in place on a cuircuit board never use CA glue witch is also known as crazy glue or super glue,I forget what it attacks but it is know to attack a cuircuit board,I know for for it has somethng to do with the fume's from CA Glue.I would use silicone next time try shoe goo it's very tuff.
