Need A Response From Patrick @ Cc

[slimthelineman]

okay this starting to seriously seem like i need to do something drastic. so here it is, PATRICK RESPOND i have sent pm's and no reply. today i got #3 and guess what after programing it with the castle link, i plugged it in and turned it on, PUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! this was my first monster that was "repaired" (U1 resoldered) whatever the hell that means.
im runnin a rc8 with a 1512 3d 15/46 and 2 3s 4000 li-pos in series. NOTHING SPECIAL. so why cant castle get me a speedo that works or respond to my pm's? i work ALOT so i cant call during the day. my wife contacted them to get my first two repaired. i know im unlucky but this is a little too much. i know the car works, it ran for ten minutes on MMM #2, so what am i supposed to do? ANYBODY?

Keep trying. The law of averages says you'll get a working one at some point.

BTW, "U1" usually refers to an IC chip (not a FET, cap, etc).

I have to say... those who puff 3 and go for 4 should check the fortune cookie that says your set up is wired like turd

[BrianG]

Eww, what a mess!

wiring is fine, wiring doesnt work sometimes and not others. not a novice here by any means. if i can bring power from the gen. plant all the way to your home i pretty sure i can get my latest r/c to go.

If the poll that is up on this board is accurate I can see how with a 50/50 chance you could get 3 bad one's in a row.

[slimthelineman]

yeah the numbers dont lie. i sure hope (like i am the only one) they figure it out. i am sure they will but damn! patience is not one of my virtues. the second one i had while it worked was great! i dont want to win the contest, just want the car to run lol

I don't listen to much to what people have to say about how it must be your setup or bad wiring or something like that.Well if I did I would believe that Larrydino i frying all his MMM'S like everyone else say's he is just because he run's 6S and has made it know that he like's to make high speed run's and that his truck is way over geared now I'mnot saying anyone on this board is saying that but on the traxxas site I've seen alot implie it,but the thing is people don't know that his truck is geared 22/62 and that's the biggest problem is no ever ask's they just assume it's the guy's setup or something else that he did to make it his fault.I don't ee his gearing being that extreme I ran 22/68 and 24/68 with a MM on 4S in my 3905.

Not if they all fail...

If you only run 4s, you may as well get a cheaper mm and bec

Sorry to read all these reports of MMM's going up in smoke. I have one sitting in a box new that I haven't even bothered hooking up. I can't decide if I should run it or sell it. The problem is what do I go with the will run without issue? It seems that the esc's that are out just arn't up to the task at this point. BTW, I have a Savage SS, FLM conversion, Fiegio 8XL, 4s 25C 5000 pack. As mentioned above for 4s just run an MM but I want to go up to a 6s and I haven't found much on-hand inventory for the MM's sitting around.

Well, good kuck,

Darion

Just sell it. My replacement V2 only lasted 5 minutes. It just stop running. No smoke though.

[lutach]

Wow...Castle what is going on here? I know I'm having a ESC made, but it won't be as popular as Castle, but I was hoping the V2 would be working right so I can get one. Castle, you know some of the guys here are well respected by a lot of people and some of them will even send business else where if needed. A lot of people will listen to their advise and go with what has/is working. I would like to know when we should expect a reliable running Monster Max. I just need a reliable unit, not a 100% trouble free, but just a reliable one.

Definitly, i'll not try mine in my e-revo on 6s, i'll try it in my Slash on 3s.
I'll try to save some cash this winter and give a try to another MGM
