I kept track of the orders, and I spent LOTS of money. Then, I put it all together after putting my son to bed every night for a few weeks (had to wait for parts to trickle in), and had to make a bunch of stuff that doesn't fit, fit. But it was fun, and I was excited; I knew the payoff would be worth it! I've seen the videos on youtube!! 
So finally, last night, I charged my 2 packs. I got done making all my solder connections, and I checked every single thing multiple times. It was ALL ready to go. All I had to do was calibrate the MMM (I had already programmed what I wanted through castle link!). I had some trouble making it work, and, then, NOTHING. It died. Yes folks, another dead MMM. Drives me nuts; so much went into this whole project, I waited so long, and now, I'm gonna have to wait a FEW MORE WEEKS!! My little boy was dying to see it run too (daddy's monsa truck!).
This, my friends, SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
I'll admit to not reading all the posts.. but did you consider getting a MM esc w/ a BEC until you get a good working MMM? Granted you're limited to a 4s config, but that is still plenty for most motors :) Then you always have a spare, for any problems :)
