Its a semi long story... here is the end of it. Castle customer service is still awesome! I am getting a brand new updated(so with new fets) Mamba Monster at my doorstep sometime next week for $70. They even told me that it would not be a refurbished one. I sent it in on wed of this week. They just called me today on Friday to tell me that it would be in the mail on its way to me on Monday. WOW! My MMM has been through alot. It was completely submerged and had a cracked inductor for years. It has seen a few thermals and it is funny that the signal wire tab popping off is the thing that did it in.

This is how the tab came off. I do have a soldering gun. I do solder sometimes. It normally takes me at least 30 mins to do one deans plug. I am not good. lol. I wanted to shorten my 3 motor wires. With the 90 degree bends I knew it was too much for me at this point. I took it down to the local hobby shop and they did a great job on the bulllets. (I'll post pics), but the guy noticed that I had a rough looking RX cable. It got in my spur once. I was busy looking at something else in the hobby shop and he asked me if it was okay to fix it. I told him sure. BUT I didn't know that he was going to try to put a new cable on the board. That is what he did. And the orange wire tab looked okay. I tipped him $25. I tried in the store to sinc it up to the other components and it wouldn't take. I asked the guy and he took it over to the store's Castle Link. It wouldn't link up. I thought I could sort it out at home and when I got home the orange tab was off the board. I wish he would have never touched the board. But its okay. I may be better off. Hopefully by the 4th I will have a functioning truck.

Also I am selling some items to help keep the truck running. These include GMaxx/FLM half case single speed tranny an RCM idler gear and a spare with pin mod. Diemaker dave knuckle head wing mount. a full Set of nice but used Proline Power Stroke shocks with all but one set of springs. PM me.
