National Semiconductor still doesn't have any answers for why SOME of their parts fail, and others work fine.
So we are continuing our own internal investigation, trying to reproduce the failure mode. We are also looking at an alternative to the National part if we cannot determine the source of the issue.

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Mine is running so good I am thinking of getting another one to replace my MGM.

Yeah, if we could find out why only 30% of them fail, and then about 30% fail after replacement ----

I know how he feels . Funny thing is that I'm using the same batteries and wires with a new ESC and it's running fine. Mine went up in flames right after it rolled backwards and I gave it some throttle.

HA! My brother used to work at National Semiconductor designing chips. Small world.

Now if I could just get my 2nd Monster to program I'd be happy. It won't find neutral just like DickyT. I've tried 2 3100 receivers and 1 3000 receiver with no luck. It just keeps beeping and flashing the yellow light.

Thanks for the update. So with the 30% failure has it been to do with the components and not the car setups (motor, batt)?

Well, we haven't been able to find a link between setup and failures at all. That's what is frustrating about this...

Patrick, have you guys been able to duplicate/create any failures at all at your site?
