MMM/2650 + Slash 4x4 = FIRE!!

[fastbaja5b]

Bad luck, the MMM is a nice ESC when it's working, but it seems that when they die, they die in a rather well, explosive fashion, and when it's right next to Lipos and a not so cheap motor, that can be dangerous.

Unfortunately with any warranty claim comes disappointment and resulting downtime of an rc you're probably pretty eager to run.

Lets hope Castle can help you out on this one, they read these forums a bit, strangely they never seem to reply in one of these threads regarding a failure of their esc though.

Certainly no conspiracy theory, just an observation.

But I can see that commenting in a thread can open a can of worms from liability to making a judgement on warranty without seeing the unit etc etc

My thought exactly. I'd rather have them deal with the person individually. Castle will stand by their products. I had my own experiences returning burnt ESC's and I'm very satisfied with the customer service Castle has.

to the point- I would guess a binding in the driveline somewhere, or too tight a gear mesh.

It's really hard to say what the failure could have been. Maybe a fluke?

I hope it's a fluke. The truck rolls nice and smooth and the gear mesh wasn't too tight. Maybe something came loose on the board or something.

I've seen patrick poke his head in a thread and say "send it on in and tell em I said so".

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.
