I have not tryed it on a 4 poler, but i updated all three of mine. They all seem to feel better and start slower than before the update. I expect that they shopuld run cooler due to better startup


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

One thing about my test video, that 4s pack was basically dead when I did the tests, so it's possible that skewed the "after" part.

Anybody else notice how the frequency during braking has also changed? Makes that Neu sound really weird!

All I can say it is working with a 6 pole Mega using 4S lipos and that is good. I did try to use 6S and that was a no go.

lol, 6s? Did you really expect it to work at 6s? How about something a little more reasonable like 5s...

Interesting - downloaded 3.03 just before leaving work. Got home and all of a sudden 3.04 was available. Wonder what changed?

Well I just tried 6s2p A123 - 20.2V on the batteries and it armed fine.

This was on a brand new MM - I ran it in the basement for a few mins and seemed fine.

Don't think I'd trust it but wanted to see if it would arm. It did!

That's impressive. I wouldn't mind running an MM on 5s A123 in a savage until the MMM came out. Was that a fully charged A123 pack. I'm confused with A123 voltages.

Bug fix - It has gone to final now

Force a full re-arm after manual programming
Minor bug: setting drag brake via stick programming showed a custom value of 1% below the desired value on Castle Link
Minor bug: Loading and saving programming information to a file did not properly update calibration data

I just fried my MM. This stinks. I downloaded the new firmware and I just tried it again in my TC3. Plugged the 2S lipos and as soon as I turned the MM on, a few sparks came out.

Send it in. Doubtful it was the new software that did it, but who knows...we'll cover you. :) Include in the service request form that after you downloaded the new update the ESC sparked right after plugging in. We'll get you fixed up. Service request form and all pertinent information to send the ESC in are located on the support tab of our website.

It was strange, but the sparks happened after I turned the switch to the on position. Thanks for checking in Joe.
