So I bolt in the house like a loser and open it up, excited as hell! Later that night, I bust out the soldering iron, and get busy. around 3 am my batteries are all charged, and it's time to connect and calibrate. but, same issue as last time: can't get this thing to calibrate w/ my spektrum. I even bumped the arming time all the way up to 5 seconds this time! So I try it over and over again, maybe 7 or 8 times, then, I hear what sounds like a popped fuse, and it's game over.

I've checked my connections MANY times, but there aren't many, and this isn't rocket science. I've tried to go back and get it to work, but it's dead as a doornail, just like last time. I'll call CC tomorrow to see what we can do, but the deadline for them will be 8/15. If I can't get a working MMM by then, and I really do want THAT, then it's off to mgm I go, to spend a lot of extra money on a controller that I hope will work. If not, then i guess I need to go back to nitro.

I can say with total certainty that this hurt even more the second time around. Perhaps someday I can get through the calibration process with the MMM.
I'm wondering if you unplugged and replugged the battery a lot during this process?

I killed an LRP esc once because of a connector that was difficult to get plugged in. Once it took several trys to get it plugged in (caps charge and spark every time) and that's all it took to smoke it.

just a thought....

When exactly did this "pop" happen? When batts plugged in, switch turned on? During the calibration???
