The novak hv maxx has recommended gearing suggestions.....while the MMM is still untested on the e-revo. I'm sure in time Traxxas and Castle will give gearing suggestions as well. They will also probably have minimum mAh and C rating requirements for the batteries.

Right now, my opinion is that the MMM is having some failures because there has been no suggestion to correctly set certain vehicles up.

Look at the Mamba Max, and the sidewinder. They both have gearing suggestions for the more popular vehicles they are put in. In time, the MMM will too.

Would you put a pair up a sidewinder ESC with a CMS7700 and run it on 3s lipo? You shouldn't

All I'm saying is Castle has done a great job bringing us more power for less money as fast as they could. They will finish writing the manual one day. I, for one, am happy to help them write it.
Well put Hoov! With 3 publicly reported failures on the v3, 2 of which were in extreme limit pushing platforms, I'm feeling confident that mine will do the job when it gets here. My v2 was almost 70 hours of use when it died, and the firmware update killed it.
