So the Pimp just killed a V2...

[lincpimp]

While my V1 is still going strong, I just had a V2 die on me. It is in a lst with a hacker c50 11xl running 6s lipo. Gearing is 24/59 with the FOC tranny gearing swap. I had run it for about 15mins, landed a jump and it died.

Weird, you could switch it off and then back on and the lights would flash and beep, but when pulling the trigger it would completely die. I tried it with a rec pack and the red wire pulled and it worked for a few seconds. Is this the common BEC failure that everyone reports?

I will say that it was super powerful when it was running. I pulled about 2000mah in 10mins, but the esc was staying cool, fan would come on for a few seconds every few minutes. Motor was around 150f during both runs. Killer setup, really fun!!

I will have to call CC on monday and see if they will send me a replacement with a return mailer...

I had a V2 die on me yesterday and a V1 today. This is getting a bit silly at this point.

Incredible, CC is in a big tunel.
For me, i return with 1/10 scale until CC solve his problem

All the MMM with BEC issue started with this or either weak servo response then dies (except those that when into a great ball of fire)...I really think its not a IC failure rather than a design flaw...IC failure under load

He meant 80 out of 3000, not 300.

and mine failed

[e-mike]

the v1 have more failure....dam im lucky....i have 3 v1 and stil running good so far...

like you said 80 failure on 3000 unit isn't bad vs the v1(i dont know how many was made)

at least you have a working one... wait 3 working ones, i have none.. spent my last bit of money on it- to ship it back... im not complaining.

wow I feel good my mmm v1 is still going strong.

Just by speculation it appears that dirt can easily get trapped in the esc through the fan vents and short something out. This is what happened to a brushed esc of mine. It deosn't seem like this would be causing bec failure, but who knows? Maybe the bec is most vulnerable. From reading, far too many people are having repeated problems and far too few seem to get the problems solved with a different MMM. If the failure rate is 1 out of 10 (just to make the math simple and castle claims its way less than that), then its 1 out of 100 for someone to have two failed MMM V2 and for the people who had three failed MMMs V2, thats 1 out of 1,000. I'm not saying its user error, but the conditions the MMMs are run/setup in that could be causing problems.

yup nag nag nag!
