Maybe my brain is getting fried in my old age. Either that or everything is a blur ,since hurricane Katrina, but you all are right I got it in December of 2006 according to my receipt.

Woah! That's...umm...a bit off 3 years
Have you tried using it with the 2 trackpowers yet? If that doesn't work with a UBEC then something is strange. Fully charged they should be about 3 volts less than fully charged 14 cell nimh, so less likely to trigged some over voltage problem on start up.

Yeah pretty embarrassing. Don't tell my wife. She will check me in to a "home" somewhere.

I tried one 7 cell pack and I hate the cogging. Instead of fighting this I am going to get an MGM controller.... and hopefully no more hassles.


Thanks again for all the help.

From recent conversation with Mike looks like CC implemented something to check for voltage. I will get his ESC later this week and will check what kind of "upgrade" they introduced to their MambaMax ESC and possibility to by-pass it.
Maybe monster MambaMax is ready for release and they just doing some cleaning or...

Or possibly sick of fixing them for overvoltage caused problems?
