Doh!!!! Well what happened is that the email was delayed for a couple of hours for what ever reason. Not sure if it was from Castle side of things or Hotmail account on the fritz. Don't matter either way really as it came through eventually and from that point it couldn't be more straight forward. It's on it's way to Castle now so looking forward to getting it back.


Anyway to the Castle techs, it seemed like my MMM stopped for no reason. At first only the BEC seemed to work but no throttle input. Tried calibrating it till I was about to pass out and that did nothing. Hooking it up to the CC Link did nothing and the Link didn't recognize the MMM at all. Anyway next day I tried to plug the batteries again and this time I got nothing. Not even the LED on the ESC and no power to my Rx. What could possibly cause this? I did take the casing apart to have a looksy inside but there was nothing obvious to me. No scorch marks or funky smells.

The servo I am using is a XP1015 and that is the only thing that the BEC is powering other than the Spektrum RX. What really annoys me is that this ESC has seen bugger all use. It has sat in my Shelf Queen Revo for about a year and seen no more than five outings on a sunny day. I filled out a Non-Warranty repair as the ESC has just gone over a year old (I think) but a little disappointing to see it die in such a manner with so little use. I have other Monsters that have been used, abused and still going.

Any insight as to what might have caused the failure or is it just one of those things?
