MMMv2 Problem....Or maybe not???? - 08.30.2008, 07:34 PM

Had a crazy little thing happen today with my V2. I ran it last week for a whole race day with no issues at all. Worked perfectly. Then today I took it out for a couple of test laps on a track we were working on rebuilding and I plugged up a pack turned on the radio and when I filpped the switch nothing. Flipped the switch a couple more times... off, on, off, on, off, on.... nothing. Now Im getting annoyed.

So I unplug the pack and plug it back in and flip the switch nothing. I start tapping on it and shaking the truck a bit to see if I can get it to fire, nothing....

Now at this point I am annoyed cuz it was the only truck I brought to test the track with. Out of frustration I start flicking the thing with my finger, then I tap on the switch housing with my finger and all of the sudden it fires right up!!!! I was like what the hell.?.?.? I turned it off and on a few times and it seems fine. I ran 2 full packs through it and its still fine so I'm not sure what to think. Was it the switch stuck inside or something? I'm not sure. I figure if I have any more trouble I will cut the switch off and hard wire it to the ON position.

Just really wierd, I was sure it had died a quiet BEC death, but its still kicking. I'm wondering if there is a possible switch problem that my look like the BEC problem?

Anyway, I just thought I would post this so CC could look into it as a possibility.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
