Batch 2 V2 MMM

[JeffEmbracedDC]

In my current setup the bullet configuration causes the wires to push up on my body slightly. I think I'm going to re-solder the wires to the sides of the bullets at an angle instead of inside of them.

I'm still on a v2.0 with about 15 minutes on it.. I'm supposed to be racing tomorrow but I don't know if that's going to happen :(

the thicker the gauge of wire the more heat, flux and skill you need. A good 100+ watt soldering iron is a good investment.

I got mine done - clipped off the ends, and redid them with my solder. Took the MMM/10L up and down the street a couple times, and it operates as described.....just need to get some fresh packs in it to really test. I am REALLY unhappy with the lack of screw down holes. I hate the zip tie messy look.

Just got my v2 MMM yesterday!!!

Thanks Mike....

Should i direct solder mine, or do i need to get 6.5mm bullets? my MMM didnt come with any male bullets, the MMM HAS female 6.5mm bullets installed on the MMM, but no males???

It came with 3 motor wires 6" long, an 2 battery wires 6" long, stickers, a cd, a usb wire and chip to plug the MMM to the usb, but there isnt any bullet plugs...

My hobby shop has 4mm bullets , but no 6.5mm bullets, will the 4mm bullets work to conect the motor to the esc wires?

I read some post that said only 6.5mm or dirct solder is to be used/done on the MMM...

The wire's don't have male bullets on them on one end? Mine did, and the only thing I had to solder was my choice of ends to connect the motor (I used 6mm bullets for that). I did attempt to use 4mm, but the wire wouldn't fit into the socket on the bullet.

no theres no males soldered on any of the wires, both sides of the wires are tinned..

i tryed a set of 4mm's an crap is the tinned solder hard to melt, i had a friend try to put on the 4mm's and no luck, my 80-120watt gun needed a new tip, try or 30mins..

ill just get some 6mm's or 6.5mm's and have the hobby shop down the road put them on, as it probley only takes the 5mis..

im going to use 2 screews to hold down my MMM to my RCPD top plate
and also use 2 zipties just incase...

Personally I prefer cable ties combined with double sided tape over any screw mounts.

ah its good to see patrick and co are RoHS compliant. green manufacturing, the way of the future. yes that lead free solder is a royal pain to work with without the right tools/ solder iron. i just gave mine to one of the shop guys and hey presto...all soldered. TBH if i was to do it, i would have used the leaded solder, i am very impatient.

i resemble that remark. however we have irons that melt it in nanoseconds, they are the metcal irons try circa $1000 an iron and $100 a tip !!! nah i will spend my cash on lipos after all i spent 7 years soldering and dont do it unless i have to. my V2 is humming away nicely, love the funky sounds on boot up. am i the only one who gets nervous when soldering the connectors on the li-pos?

long live the MMM
