MMM V2 to V3 replacement plan still available? - RC-Monster Forums

Does Castle still exchange a V2 MMM for a V3? I was searching around the forums and found that thread about V3's finally shipping and someone said (Joe or Patrick) that they will still replace the V2 for a V3. Is this still the case?

I'm getting an erevo and it has a V2 in it. I'd just want to be safe since I'm not from the US.

Why did V2 even fail? Too small case and the fan connector crushed?

For Life if any v1/2 goes it is replaced with a v3...

If you've modded your v2 in any way you'll get a nice reminder note saying "do that again with your v3 and we won't cover it" :)

Another Castle difference. :D I'll just wait till it dies now. And maybe get a refurb between the wait.

V2 had BEC issues, different to the V1 but still enough to demand another redesign.

My V2 is still running strong!

This whole lifetime replacement warranty makes me feel really good about things.

I'll run her till she poops, then get a Brand New V3.

I still have a V1 that I keep thinking about sending in, but... the dang thing just keeps going. The case is modded likecrazy though. I got the warning lettter a couple times with the V2's I had that died Hope they dont hassle me when I send this V1 in finally. I modded it LONG before they ever said you cant. And look... Its the only surviving V1 that I know of.

My V2 is still running strong. I've opened the case six times to resolve fan issues (including solderin the fan wires to the board after the connector broke off) and had the on/off switch broken off twice. Now that I have completely removed the fan and on-off switch, and have always used the latest software, I have pretty much eliminated all the common problems that would cause the esc to fail.

Nah Jhautz, there is an elite group of of with V1s that still function perfectly- maybe we should start our own club?

My V2 hasn't been used in about 5 months because I've been paying attention to my Baja Bug. I saw the refurb units on the CC site, and I'm at a loss as to how the power switch leads can lead to a failure of the unit other than by being torn off/failed switch contacts. The only mod I've done is installed the V3 case.

i still have a v1 running strong. all i did was put washers on the fan.
i had to replace the fan 3 times tho. im not trading this sucker in till i dies.

Still got a V1 here, too. V3 case, but otherwise, still going strong.

Anyone have a case they could send me? CC charges 26$ shipping if I buy just the case or a new combo system.

It would probably cost less if someone would sell it to me.

You should've taken advantage of their free V3 case give away at the beginning of this year. I got mine for free.

Like I knew what a mamba monster was back then.

Did you buy yours second hand or brand new?
