Sounds strange, but if it's a result of the BEC/whatever, then the damage is already done and I'd imagine that new firmware won't fix it. :( It sounds like anyone with a fully working MMM should have good results with the new firmware, though. This is probably a stupid question, but have you double-checked all your solder joints? I know you probably have, but that kind of behaviour is common with a dry joint.

I really want to try my V1 now, but the RC that it's going in isn't yet finished. this does make me wonder if the dodgy components in the original V1s actually WERE dodgy, though. Castle didn't know about this bug back then and since the National Semiconductor switcher controller kept dying, then it would have been natural to assume that is wasn't living up to spec. But if it were being subject to these voltage spikes which have now been sorted due to the new firmware, then maybe that was the cause (and they weren't dodgy after all...or at least, a lot of them weren't)?

Just a theory of mine, but either way...I'm busting to try out this thing now.
