Wondering if....
 

Got a hypothetical for you guys at castle. I have a MMM and have waterproofed it using the "jesi box" method (small sealed plastic box filled with 100 percent pure silicone oil) which I know would in general void the warranty. What i wanted to know is if I update to 1.28 and risk it bricking, am I completely SOL? Thanks.

Very small risk of bricking it - not heard of anyone doing so.

But as you invalidated the warranty - yes you would be SOL.

Well that's the thing though, I didn't alter anything inside the esc nor did I even open the case. I have heard of quite a few people bricking theirs over on the Traxxas and BYT forums, and I don't want to have to send mine back, wait a couple weeks, and pay 70 dollars all at the same time. I guess I'm gonna have to get a spare and then try it. As for the non-warranty repairs that covers anything at all right?

Yes, flat rate non warranty repair. Pretty cheap to turn a fried MMM into a new MMM if you ask me.

The issue was for one day with MM that were updated via the USB port - Have way through the ESC update the firmware support for the onboard USB was removed.

It was a glitch in the release that was fixed quickly - I'm not aware of any issues with the MMM.

The MMM is the one I have heard of having the issue more. As you said with the MM it seemed like the issues was losing connection halfway through the process, and then locking up/failing. With the MMM issues I have heard of, everything goes properly and then in the end people run into issues with the ESC just not working, although it says it was successful.

This person on the Traxxas forum does ---> Traxxas forum.Also on the another forum a few people claimed the the beta software ruined their MM pro.
