Yeah my nitro savage I think is going to be out of action for a while so it would be really nice if my MMM was fixed and back to me before the next club race in 2 weeks but I don't think it will happen.

Im waiting, and waiting and waiting..... I actually think that its good that they are really getting to the root of the problem, however this seems to be pretty difficult as we hav´nt heard from CC if they have found the source of the problem, other then the "crappy" fan and some component in the BEC, it has to be something else also. ohterwise it feels like the second batch would to done by now (if the only problem is one component and a fan). As we hav´nt heard anything final yet my guess is that mid july.
But this is only speculations, go CC go

Aye. Just sent mine in today too :( Had to buy a Mamba Max as a temporary replacement. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.. especially for Castles sake. I'm sure it's stressful over there right now :( Thank you, Castle, for doing everything you can :)

yeah...i'm waiting on a MMM too....good thing I didn't sell my spare MM's.....at least I've got one MMM that still works....about 32 hours run time on it and still working...but of course thats with a CC BEC/and fan plugged directly into the reciever.....and the strange thing about the whole fan issue is that my fan has been working absolutely phenomenal....my MMM is ziptied like a gift-box so the case stays intact and i'm pretty new to racing and the track i go to has this huge triple AND i don't have the smoothest of landings at times..well most of the time....and the fan still works, nothing broken...(knock on wood)....give CC time and they'll get this all sorted out....

Not from CC re my dead MMM recieved but waiting on components - Looks like V1's will be back fixed with different silicon.

Correct -- we are changing the main switcher chip because of problems.

Ahh well that's good news. Though.. I snipped the wires short on my Monster before I sent it back assuming I was going to get a new V2 later on. I needed the bullets for my Mamba Max. Would it be possible to get it re-wired before it's sent back to me? I just sent it yesterday so you should have it next week.

I had one of the first failures but it was one where the chip fused itself to the board, does this mean I'll be at the front of the second run? Will the second run have the bullets soldered to the board or will they have wires like my first Monster?

Patrick - Is the new part looking good - do you have to re-tool?

We have to re-tool to use the new part.... But we are almost done, got about two weeks before they are coming off the production line again.
