Sooooo..... that's why a few Monsters have died peacefully, while most are going strong and should not have such issues.

Castle told me today that any Monsters that are sent in are being put at the front of the line... and it's a simple component swap.

Suks that some of the guys outside the US got a bad one.

That really sucks for CC. Bad press for an otherwise great product. Id be havin some words with that component supplier and makin sure it doesnt happen again.

The only other copmplaint I have about the MMM so far is the fans are junk. Mine quit already after 1 race day and the only other guy around here with a MMM also had his fan die after 1 race day and some test runs.

CC was cool about sending out a replacement post haste.... But I have a feeling this wont be the last time it gets replaced. I'd like to see an optional top half of the case that gets rid of the fan and exposes the heatsink to some natural air flow. I'm willing to bet it doesnt need the fan for 95% of applications.

I wonder if they would sell me just a top half of the case that I could modify. As it is, without a fan it seems like it would be hard to get enough air in there to keep it cool.

Gotta blame someone. Its hard to blame yourself and keep your job for long.

You are a God, Lutach! You are the multilingual/multinational brushless rc and small electronic component god!

With some of the weird legislature that Cali throws out it might as well be another country! Glad you are with me! We need to unite so that we can form small armed militant groups to rid the various forums of stupidity.

I am thinking of changing my current order with my my buddy @ BBY racing from a MMM to another MM as it will be going in a 2nd 8ight buggy setup for 4S (1512 or smaller) . I dont think I will really need the MMM until I build a 8ight T and go 5S or 6S. They run 20 minute mains here @ my local tracks. I do have 2 new CC BEC's....

Thoughts?

Time for some Depends! Not sure if anyone remembers the SNL skit with the adult diapers "Oops. I crapped my pants"? Gotta love SNL, they really outdid themselves with the "Di** in a Box" song! I almost peeed my pants watching that!

I am sure that will be fine, I have 8 MMs (just bought another) and I use them in all kinds of stuff, from 2s-4s and in a variety of vehicles. Must be the most versatile esc for the money.

I'm going to be trying the Monster, but my MMs are not going anywhere. I just put a new MM in my 8ight with a slick UBEC setup, and I have a Castle BEC coming too...

I might be the only one in the world that has more MMs than lincpimp :eek:

I missed the Monty Python thing... what was that?

[BrianG]

GD: How many of those MMs are functional?

I am sure that the cc guys have a few! I had more but I fried one that had some mods done to it, and sold another. I will say that the MMM is holding up better then the MM in my revo with the hacker 7xl. I need to finish the hyper st and give thr mmm a try on 6s with the hacker 11xl.

The Python thing was from another thread where texas was saying that I would have to try harder to insult him. So I told him his mother was a hampster and his father smelt of elderberries!

All but one... and that one someone else murdered LOL

I did kill a couple myself last year but they have been replaced. :)

I would like to thank my sponsors again since I have not mentioned them in a while.

Mastercard
Discover
and honorable mention goes to my Visa, and my wife.

[lincpimp]

I would also like to thank my wife, who does not believe that I have $1000 worth of rc yet....

Can you imagine how hard it was not to laugh when I heard her say that....

Would you want to wait at least 30 days (15 days shipping time each way) for a replacement after 20 minutes of run time?
