So the Pimp just killed a V2...

[lincpimp]

While my V1 is still going strong, I just had a V2 die on me. It is in a lst with a hacker c50 11xl running 6s lipo. Gearing is 24/59 with the FOC tranny gearing swap. I had run it for about 15mins, landed a jump and it died.

Weird, you could switch it off and then back on and the lights would flash and beep, but when pulling the trigger it would completely die. I tried it with a rec pack and the red wire pulled and it worked for a few seconds. Is this the common BEC failure that everyone reports?

I will say that it was super powerful when it was running. I pulled about 2000mah in 10mins, but the esc was staying cool, fan would come on for a few seconds every few minutes. Motor was around 150f during both runs. Killer setup, really fun!!

I will have to call CC on monday and see if they will send me a replacement with a return mailer...

I had a V2 die on me yesterday and a V1 today. This is getting a bit silly at this point.

Incredible, CC is in a big tunel.
For me, i return with 1/10 scale until CC solve his problem

All the MMM with BEC issue started with this or either weak servo response then dies (except those that when into a great ball of fire)...I really think its not a IC failure rather than a design flaw...IC failure under load

and the stangest thing is that cc continue to ship this sh?%"/$?&(*)

whoa mike calm down..


i was on the phone with CC yesterday, said they have had about 80 problems with the bec our of the 300+ v2's after the re-design

[e-mike]

sorry,,,so here the mmm v2 cost 200$(canadian)and i have ti pay 20$ in custom fee and 25$ more to ship the esc when it failed,,,,,you see why im tired .....

on 300 unit 80 failed?????and what mean RE-DESING''

[TexasSP]

He meant 80 out of 3000, not 300.

the fact that you have to pay for customs has nothing to do with the phyiscal price of the esc, just location

and yes out of the 3000 V2s from the last production run.

Mine failed too, and its not as if it doesnt happen to any thing else,....cars have recalls
stuff breaks, you cant expect perfection 100% of the time with no failure rate, it just dont happen


Edit- and yes RE DESIGN, would you have rather had a bad v1 which had double the failure rate and have your whole truck burn to the ground

and mine failed

[ravin]

wow I feel good my mmm v1 is still going strong.

[e-mike]

the v1 have more failure....dam im lucky....i have 3 v1 and stil running good so far...

like you said 80 failure on 3000 unit isn't bad vs the v1(i dont know how many was made)

[SpEEdyBL]

Just by speculation it appears that dirt can easily get trapped in the esc through the fan vents and short something out. This is what happened to a brushed esc of mine. It deosn't seem like this would be causing bec failure, but who knows? Maybe the bec is most vulnerable. From reading, far too many people are having repeated problems and far too few seem to get the problems solved with a different MMM. If the failure rate is 1 out of 10 (just to make the math simple and castle claims its way less than that), then its 1 out of 100 for someone to have two failed MMM V2 and for the people who had three failed MMMs V2, thats 1 out of 1,000. I'm not saying its user error, but the conditions the MMMs are run/setup in that could be causing problems.

And strangest thing is that poor guys like you continue to spend their money on this sh?%"/$?(*)...........
