That last part is true, though my MMMv1 has been going strong since day 1, and I've done everything in my power to try and kill it; stuff it full of grass and stall the fan (repeatedly), split the case open, splash it through muddy puddles (accidently, I would never get my esc or truck wet deliberately0, yet the fan has never given me any issues.
The v1 MMM has the fan that runs constantly as soon as you turn the esc on- I'll sell it to you for.... $800....
