Couldn't agree more!!!

But if I had the choice between being able to drive my vehicle around, or just looking at a immobilized car, I choose being able to drive. Who knows how long it's going to take castle till they work the bugs out?????

Going to the post office now (sighs)

Hey ya, no problem. I bought this controler because it can run, well is rated to run at higher batt cell counts. For now I'm gonna run my 2s packs through it for a few more hours and see how it does, trucks just for kicks anyways. Maybe in the meantime CC will get V3 going with all the kinks worked out and then I can step it up knowing that the next one I get, should this one fail, will be improved. I guess for me its just not that big a deal but I see your point.

Well, I started this poll 9 pages ago and I finally voted tonight. Thanks to bad weather, the last two weeks of racing have been cancelled at my track. I've taken my MMMv2 out twice for some testing around the house and once for a set of packs at the track but I didn't want to vote until I had a full day of racing, 4 sets of packs through it. Today was that day. My MMMv2 worked flawlessly.

But...

The guy pitting next to me, also a member here on this forum, had a nearly identical E-Revo to mine and his MMMv2 fried! Same mounting position, also running 4s. His just stopped and smelled of burning. So on the day, out in the real world, the MMMv2 is still at about a 50% failure rate. I'm very worried that mine will die at the worst possible moment...I sure wish that Castle would tell us what's going on.

I have another new V2. Do I get to vote again for the 2nd one?

Are there others out there with more than one V2? I'd like to get a true read by letting people vote for all of the V2s they have rather than just once.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly

I have 2 ....one died (no warranty..modded version) and one that had 15mins only still alive but inconclusive as my truck broke a couple of alu before I could test MMM (and no I havent voted yet for the 2nd one )

I believe Brian is trying to add both working/failure units for users that have multiple MMM...

I've got 2 V2s back from Castle a while ago but haven't had the nerve to try them out. Reading the posts about them going up in flames has got me spooked. I've got one almost ready to go, but I'm just debating if I want to use the CCBEC or not.

It really boggles my mind that I can run a MM/CCBEC on 4s all day long in this big, heavy truck, but my "badass" MMM fails.
