Oops
 

So I decided to strip down my g-revo to give it a clean and a few new upgrades when I noticed a rattle in my MMM...

Looks like I lost a chip at some point but it could have been a long while back... Any idea what this one is? TVS?

Can anyone identify which model this one is - Oct 08 so i would think v1/2? It has bullets on both sides...

does it still work?

It was running fine when I started dismantling the car so I assume so - Not done a bench test yet...

i think its a dummy part then...placed to confuse those who try to copy :lol:

but im sure someone mor electronically smart will chime in soon to ruin my dreams

:rofl::rofl::lol:

I can't answer the question though...

I believe it is a TVS

when my MMM went bad, that was the exact chip that was smoking whenever i plugged it in. it armed just fine, but would not give throttle and it made my steering servo go nuts.

Funny its still working fine... lol

I thought the ones with the Blue control boards were the V3 units.

Yup I ran it on the bench its still running good - lol...

What to do...

thats a flux capacitor, the only was to fix it is to go back in time...........its your kids Marty!



wait thats the castle version of the esc

That is a TVS. Good call!

It still works because the TVS is there to protect the servos and RX if something goes wrong with the BEC.

So running your monster is now like haveing sex without a condom...

Unprotected...:lol:

LOL - I'll put in a CC BEC then (I always keep protection on hand) and keep on running :)...

Good call! You never know when they'll come in hand....
