WARNING! A new way for MMMs to fail including your precious V3!

I would actually cable-tie the wires down to the body so that no flex happens to the connection.

Yeah, well that's true. --

We've built about 4500 MMM V3s to date (on the machines) and finished and shipped about 1500 of 'em.

If we see failure rates above about 1%, I'll be very surprised (and I don't expect actual failure rates -- not user-induced failures -- to go above about 1/4%). We have not seen a single "It just died" BEC failure like we did on the V1 and V2, and we have yet to see a complete FET failure like we did on the V1 and V2 -- so I'm pretty confident that the V3 is going to prove to be fairly bulletproof.

thats great to hear. thanks for taking time to let us know how things are going. My v3 seems to be holding up fine but i have noticed that my truggy seems slower since putting it in. i am sure it very well could be something else and i dont want to raise any issues but is there any type of change in the v3 that could cause my truggy to be slower than it was with the v2. also, the responsiveness is sometimes twitchy. unlike my v2s which were lightning fast and responsive. thoughts?
