Well after a crash MMM case broke.
After little inspection I saw the pcb is missing a little smd cap? But anyone which value the cap has? Thanks for help.

.1uF 50V 0603


BUT -- it's EXTREMELY difficult to solder on that circuit board -- it's very very heavy copper and requires specialized equipment.

Thanks.
I went to local store and bought one.
Hmm to bad the MMM monster is really dead.
No sign of leds, so I think I have to buy a new one:-)

Don't do that - -get a non-warranty replacement. It's $70.00 -- a LOT cheaper than a new ESC.

Thanks for your nice help.
But I am living in Europe.
So sending to USA is expensive (26 USD) so total price would be 96USD plus additional shipping costs to Europe (from Castle)?

After a another inspection.
The black smd component (what kind of component is this) fried.

This maybe caused by the dented 390uF 35V caps?

70 dolars reapired and shipped !

Waauuww that sounds good!
Do I have to send the whole ESC, I mean also the broken housing?
I think it's useless to send it with the ESC hahah.

Another problem!
After checkout process they will ask credit card information.
But I dont have CC, I have Paypal:-(

BMW -- contact Dena:

She should be able to arrange payment by Paypal.

Thanks!

Patrick thanks for your nice help!
I have just filled in the online repais forms.
And I've added some discription about the (paypal) payment issue:-)

O well I've no patience so I bought a new one:-).
Also good for supporting Castle Creations:-)
My first RC car was with castke ESC (Mamba-25)
The dead one will go to Castle Creations for repair.

Too bad the package didn't have a tracking number.
Package was send at last year december, still not arrived at CC.
I think the package is lost:-(.

Hmmm I have to buy a new one (for spare).
