Maximum minutes on the MMM

[hootie7159]

I'm using the original fan in its original place but i soldered another connector on the end of the fan and now its hooked up to my receiver.....and i'm running the Hi-tec HS 5955 servo for steering....and by the way its on a dx3.0 w/ sr3000 receiver....and just yesterday I ran it for 2 hours straight at the local track (which includes crash and pick up time ) on 5s 8000mah truerc lipos and after each 30-40min run the temps were....esc=95....batt=100...motor=125..........i' m pretty happy and hopefully the next batch of MMM's that come out will be fixed so that way EVERYONE will be happy and be able to run a great controller with excellent customer support that also costs half a much a an MGM...

I'll chime in here. Mine died during calibration, so after all the money and work that went into my whole new setup, I got NOTHING out of it!!!!!!! I am so pissed, it's not even funny. Castle screwed up some other stuff with me as well, and personally, I do not like them one bit right now. I am new to BL/LiPo, and I bought a CC product because everyone talks about how wonderful they are, but here's what I know: I bought an ESC that was rumored about for 3 years. Luckily, I was ready to buy when it actually came out. I waited a while to get it, and it came. I hung on to it while I finished up my build, and it died RIGHT AWAY. Then I sent it in for warranty repair, and if I'm lucky, I'll have it back 2 months or so after I sent it in. WOW. THIS is what everyove's raving about?? I mean seriously! I'm just shy from the point where I call them up and force them to give me a refund, as I don't actually have anything to show for my $170 other than pictures. If the current lead time is a month, then I think I'll look into buying something else, as I don't feel like waiting while they putz around. I currently have nothing to drive besides my micro t, and I live in NJ - it's cold here in the winter! I'm NOT letting the summer go by without my truck!!!

WHOA!!!! i guess that's one way to vent....i'm pretty sure everyone here on this forum feels and understands your frustration but kepe in mind that they are doing the best they can to fix this problem and one of the posts from patrick on one of the forums here said that they might be ready in3wks ....or something close to that...that being said there is always the mamba max that you can buy on ebay for around $80-$90 if you look around....my local hobby shop is selling them brandnew for $112....now for 4s setup's it would be a $10 HV cap and a $5 fan.....you can run all this while you wait and the best part is that there are available NOW ... Once all this is fixed you will have the best bang for your buck for an esc (maybe even more bang ) or if you can't wait there's always the $250+ MGM......$200+ novak.....or traxxas vxl setup....but you really can't beat CC customer service....i don't work for them or am sponsored by them (trust me if you saw me drive you would wonder why i'm even racing)but i've owned there products for about 3 years now and they are excellent.....but there's nothign wrong with venting
