Eagle Tree of MMMv2 death - RC-Monster Forums

It could be the twin servos in the E-Revos that are doing the damage also. The MMMv1 I had that is still running strong was always used with one "weakish" servo. The MMMv2 died with the twin E-Revo servos. Just a thought anyway.

When I get my replacement, I'm only going to use one of the servos and see how long the MMM lasts.

My 1st v2 is still running strong on an E-Maxx with 2 200oz digital servos and my 2nd v2 was running 1 very weak analog servo when it died so I doubt it's related to the load.

the weak servo was probably being overloaded and pulling big current , the strong servos especially 2 of them are probably idling away nicely and not pulling too many amps

hmm, but wouldnt it have been utterly stupid of castle to to test this out? like seriously, they deal with huge planes and such, and surely they could do tests to see if the bec would fail with 2 5955tg servos at lock for 10 or so minutes and see if the BECS fail? its starting to look like v1 all over again. poor castle. and poor me whos going to have to pay like $50 just get a working one (STUPID INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING> GRR :)

It only cost me $16 including shipping materials to send 2 v2s back from Aus. The international shipping isn't that bad.

I had problems with the twin servos in the e-maxx as well. I burnt out 4 in only about 6 runs. They seem to fight each other too much and as come out of alignment from each other. I am sure this puts quite a bit of stress on things. They should just go with one high torque metal gear servo and be done with it.
