MMM v2 Success / Failure Poll

Nah, it's easy to get a percentage, as long as people report that it died.

took mine for a 1/2hr use and its still working. update if it does happen to cark it.. fully stock bar a bit of unshrinked heatshrink tubing over the signal wires and switch - they looked like they would get worn down took quickly.

also: i know this thing can pull more than 110A -hooked up my wattmeter inline and its rated for 100A max... very happy with the zippy pack ive got - just a bit too heavy!!

My V2 stopped working after 10 min.
6S NEU 1515 2Y in a mugen MBX5

Yes, this is Dafni's old faithful but unfortunately, old faithful's maiden voyage was cut short by the dreaded bec bug...

Now if only I knew how to perform BrianG's bec mod......

Even Old Faithfull could not lift the MMM curse...

My V2 Monster died silently after about ~20 min total runtime on 6s.

Now it just started it's second life as a MMM V2 lite (BEC removed, thx to BrianG).
So far everything looks well, but I have no real runtime on it so far.

I,ve been running mine for a few weeks now with an external bec and so far it holds up. Had a run at the local track yesterday and when I got there there all the nitros suddenly just disappeared. I don´t know if my Mugen E-MBX5 prospec is to intimidating and scarred the crap out of the nitroguys
Poor little buggers

hooray - past the 50% mark! that is good news

edit: well for a few hours

[TruckBasher]

well the problem of any poll specially for electronics is that they have a tendency of failing...I guess we need to specify a time frame when they can reply to the poll...V2 was released a month ago and they are just being send to buyers in the last 2 weeks (mass distribution)....most died during calibration or first few minutes...

Editing post:
If MOD is allowed my V2 now has been revived by BrianG's Mod

v2, 16 hours and still kicking.

[E-Revonut]

mine is still up and running but today after running it I found it bouncing around. What is everyone using to hold their monsters in? I had used Goo, it's still stuck to the truck but didn't hold onto the MMM.

My v1 quit yesterday...I changed all the esc settings to go to 5s, ran it for 5min and it killed the external ccbec and the esc itself...oh well.

[JaySki]

lost 2 V2s to (Assumed) BEC failures.
1 v2 running after about 6-8 sets of at 4s WITH a UBEC added.

You guys have to remember that people who have no problems are not likely to go on the internet looking for info on forums about problems. These polls are NEVER a real indicator of the real size of the problem.

But if all the rcm members contribute (even the good ones), we should see an close indication, or at least the percentage of rcm members that have gotten good/bad ones.
