Rip Mmm

[e-mike]

the problem is here in canada due to custom fees and change rate(us$ to can$)it cost me close 200$ for a mmm.....

now i have to ship to cc 200$+25$(shipping)=a controller reach 225$ minimum...plus more$$$$(if i have to reship in case that my esc failed again!!!!)

My MMM hasn't arrived yet, but I'm trying to learn from all the experience here. Granted, there are those that are frustrated. I can understand those feelings based on the months of waiting and returning items. The only way things will be resolved is to continue to post failure conditions and find the weak link(s) involved. I for one, am willing to post pics and vids of my experience once the MMM arrives to see what happens. Based on what I've read, there could be a BEC issue. I'm running a Tekno-converted REVO with ACE 1015 and 1313 servos. Should I use a CC BEC to spare the MMM from having to power these servos?


Oh yeah..Brian G, haven't forgotten about you.. I'm sending a little box your way.

I have a v1 mmm and I am using a ccbec and also took the fan off of the esc and wired it to the rx....so far so good. I also cut the grill out of the fan case to prevent the fan blades from hitting the top of the case. The decision to run a cc bec is up to you. It will void your warrantee. Just something to think about.....good luck!

That is not true.

Why do you say that?

The way BrianG did it will, but not doing it the way castle recommends.

Wow.. really? Hmm.. well I want to be able to return the esc if it fails. Maybe I'm not so "willing" to experiment after all..

a guy at the track today had the mmm in his buggy it ran great for a bit, then took a silent death, his truggy is still goin strong tho

My gut instinct says no.

No, the lipos seem fine. I hooked the balance taps up to one of (THESE)

that little batt moniter is pretty awesome

[brushlessboy16]

i wish it was an active balancer though

[slimthelineman]
