to mod or not to mod

[J3110]

You guys crack me up modding your MMM just so it'll work.
Why would you do that? Are we desperate to be castle consumers or to have a quality product...I mean, come on.
Only reason I bought a MMM was because I already had something that worked ok, but wanted something better, so if you are buying the MMM expecting it to work after reading about all of the failures, then you shouldn't be surprised if it dies.
I do not want to have to mod my MMM to keep it alive...that is rediculous. I want a reliable and robust speed controller. I want what I am paying for...not a glorified MM. What more are you getting when you slap a BEC on the MMM? Not much.
Unless you have a V1, there is no guarentee that an external BEC will help anyways...just a "maybe".
I mean, by all means, it is a free world and you can do as you like, of course, but you are only shooting yourself in the foot by protecting and making excuses for an obviously substandard product(or manufacturing).
