I guess we're tied! I'll even pay extra for me to get last place.

Got my replacement v2 in the mail today for the fried v1 I sent in last week. About 10 day turnaround, thanks CC!!!

So I now have a v1 that has about 4 hours on it, and a pair of brand new v2 awaiting install...

Looks like my aftershock may run soon, as long as the damn hurricane does not hit me...

I can't believe it...my LHS had 1 MMM V2 in stock...I bought it....

[GT35R]

Well I can't believe it, even tower has them in stock.
Its a shame my vendor can't supply my backorder yet.
Just rereading the first post that was a month ago...

I truly don't want to play either. Trust me.. I am not having much fun.

[Mozzy]

WOW!!! I finally made it!!! I read every post in this thread, mind you it only took me 4 hrs.

Now for my input, I sent back one of my V1's for repair around mid July & got it back mid August. Still haven't laid eyes on my order of 6(!) from FD ripoff thieving bastards which was placed on 31st May.

Also, being stuck in Sydney after my op, I also haven't laid eyes on my returned MM! Can 12th Sept come round any quicker?

Also, still got 1 brand spankin new V1 only soldered the plugs on & still hasn't been used, sitting at home.


Post #403 ooohhhh yyeeaahhhhh.

ugggh.....has anyone else had problems soldering the battery leads to deans plugs? I cant get my Hako to melt the solder they have on the wire. I've had it on high, and set it on the wire for up to 5 minutes, and got NO molten solder. Just to check my iron, I soldered up a deans to one of my Deans wires, and it worked fine.

Chop off their pre tinned ends. I assume it is the lead free solder they are using that makes it hard to solder. I busted out my 80 watt iron and it did the trick but that stuff is a pain.

Did you disconnect from MMM - Those huge wires act as great heatsinks

[bdebde]

I think they use lead free solder, seems to take a bit more heat. I managed to get it by feeding a little more solder into the wire.

[JThiessen]

Yes, they were disconnected - I'll just snip off the ends and start from scratch. Does this mean that I should re-do the bullets (is there a compatibility issue with my solder and theirs that would cause a continuity issue?). BTW, speaking of soldering the bullets - I read about how people filled the cup with solder, then stuck the wire in. My bullets have 2 holes in them, so filling them was not really an option. However, I drilled my hole in the workbench a little deeper, so that the holes were covered and filled it that way.

[Arct1k]

No need to touch the bullets...

[Sammus]

Or if you dont want to snip the ends try melting some other solder onto it, in my experience diluting it a little helps a lot.

i tried and failed with their solder. just ended up cutting my ends off and redoing it, as stated above
