Yes, most of the things that we are doing is experimental. I can expect that we would blow things up. What ticks me off, or has me aggravated, is that my buggy runs fine. No problems whatsoever. I didn't start to have problems until I started messing with the Muggy. The weight and the tall 40 series tires are definitely the culprits, as I have far fewer problems when running MT tires.

I really wish someone at Castle would let us know what the real limitations of the MM are. The esc is obviously capable of much more than stated. I mean, I fried one MM overgearing a 5S setup with an 8XL. It would be great if someone at Castle would simply say, well if you had gone with a 9XL or a 10XL all would be good, because...., but I can't get that.

I do have to admit, though, that today's failure was rather disturbing. I was running a setup that I knew wasn't stressing anything, because everything was running so cool. The MM dying after having landed a hard jump just leaves me baffled. I really don't know what it could have been.

When I fried that first one, I didn't see smoke, but there was a lot of heat in the caps. Someone suggested that I fried a trace. I can see that. Today's failure showed no smoke or heat. I wish Castle would call back, but I'm not going to hold my breathe. Their support has been sucking lately.

I was putting my buggy back together, but it just isn't nearly as much fun as running my Muggy, so I put everything back into the Muggy running 4S.

Crazyjr, what setup are you running on 5S and in what vehicle? How much does it weigh? What batteries are you using? How long have you been running it?

As I said before. I've heard the MM referred to as a 1000 watt system by the guys at Castle. If this is true, then we should be able to run on 5S, as long as the amp draw doesn't get so high that it stresses the esc. If this is also correct, there has to be a setup that meets these demands. I'd just like to know what that setup is.
