Batch 2 V2 MMM

[J3110]

Just outta curiosity, have you tried running a BEC or battery pack for the RX?

I received my long awaited V2 this morning! I can't wait to try it out!

Thanks again Mike!

I haven´t, but a few other with the same problem have and it didn´t work

Sent mine in so I can´t try it either

It was still taking a rest break when you finished yours...

lol yea thats what it seemed like. thing got me worried for a min there....it maybe a sign that its telling me its gonna poop soon.

ok guys...so how in fact do we tell V1 from V2? is it marked on the unit/box?

or do we have to wait for the subtle tell tale signs of an RC inferno?

just curious.

V1 has the main wires sticking out, V2 has female plugs instead (see above post #337)

Dang! I feel bad. I'm waiting on my 5th one.

So far I've had 2 v1's and 2 v2's. One of my v2's is still running but I'm waiting for the other.

but the question is, is the one you got running, up to scratch> i.e. are you happy with it. if yes then dont worry, one day it will be back to normal... until castle creations decide to bring out the HV prematurely. a 10S lipo going bang would be a pretty dangerous event... hope that never happens to anyone.

ok thanks cobber,

v1 has the wires hard soldered to the unit ,v2 has connectors soldered to the unit. gotcha mate.

Thanks Castle.

I have a question...
I am due to receive my second v2 today. First one puffed the internal BEC( I am assuming)
With all this talk about the Internal BEC, CCBECs, etc..
Is there any safety in just adding an external BEC and bypassing the internal? I REALLY don;t want to fry another MMM as I would like to tkae my revo on vaca and actually enjoy it for a change, instead of hearing my wife gripe.. "All that money you dump on that, and it just sits there!"

OK OK!

I'll answer the man!


Ummm, I guess, maybe? (Actually, it really depends -- adding another BEC reduces the stress on the MMM, but also adds more to the system that can fail - additional electronics. So my answer is still "maybe". )

Next question... Really...

Is .. WTF is going on? Now that these are starting to hit the masses in larger numbers, the failure rates are really starting to grow.

Rumors are around that Bernie said something about the TEST group of the new unit was much smaller than they have done on any other product...

Now.. I will say that this stuff isn't a matter of life and death.. thank god.
But it is highly highly irritating to have hundreds, if not thousands of dollars into these toys, and our parade is being rain upon...
