Today is a sad day. I just wanted to do some donuts in the garage with my ERBE so I plug in a set of 3S, the MMM harms correctly and counts 6 cells and beeps when it's ready. I give a little throttle and immediately, it fizzes and a lot of smoke comes out of it. I didn't have the body on so I was able to disconnect the batteries right away. The lipos were warm.

This MMM went to hell and back, lots of experimenting done to it in search of the best way to waterproof it. It ran in dust, dirt, sand, gravel, water, mud, snow, salty slush. It was cleaned, sprayed, brushed with solvents and soapy water, it was blown dry with compressed air, forced air, cooked in a toaster oven.

It had a difficult life but it kept on going for a good long time. Rest In Piece MMM, I will miss you.
