MMM v2 Success / Failure Poll

[BrianG]

Many are adding some type of foam standoffs placed on the motor and power solder areas to keep the circuits from hitting the case. That and a little dremeling of the case to allow more clearance. The foam solution works well and requires no permanent modification - just 2-3mm of added foam provides the clearance needed.

CC really need to add some sort of pcb suspension, or something. When I pulled the bottom plate off the dead v2 I had to laugh, that little foam thingy stuck to it is next to worthless, all it will do is stop the fan connector scratching the case...

I added some shrink tube to the fan wires on my v1, they were starting to rub thru on the pcb. I also added shrink to the wires as they exit the case, they were looking like they could be damaged too. Pity the BECs die, seems like a decent controller. I do not mind adding the foam cushion and the case clearancing, but running without a bec is a bit much...

a little off topic i suppose but... has the poll stats been adjusted at all as failures happen after posting that it is working normally ??...or are those fairly accurate stats ?? thanks

Nope. I voted working normally and then mine failed later. I'm sure there are others.

yeah ,i was afraid of that ....LOL...i have a new MMM v2 and NEU 1515 2.5 still in the box's and not in any hurry anymore to finish my truggy conversion cause i pretty much know it's gonna fail...
....thanks guys for the replies...
