Need response from a Castle tech for MMM question

[joeling]

I have tried out my modded V1 this afternoon at the track. Hard driving until the rain came. No problem. So, the power section of the esc is ok. Just the bec section that needs a rethink.

IMHO at this moment in time, this is cutting edge stuff. I'm willing to put in some effort to make electric 1/8 scale buggy / truggy a reality.

Joe Ling

Patience is key, but when we have the truck, li-po and motor on the banch, and the only thing missing is the ESC, it's hard to keep patience

Look at some porn, always cheers me up

Anyway, would I be the only person thinking that castle could re-coup some losses by selling all the (re-sellable) dead V1s as opto escs? Simply by doing what Brian and joeling have done (bundled with a pre-installed CCBEC or wires so you can attach your own as per the diagram)?

Limited edition opto-MMM, get 'em while they last; what say you Patrick?

[BrianG]

I have already approached Patrick with that question... (the limited-edition V1 ESC, not the porn )

[Arct1k]

So true...

So Patrick is this applicable to V2 also?

I'm happy to report that I have put V1 through the torture hoping I will kill it but still it lives. I took my Jammin' conversion out in the blazing sun around 4pm this afternoon & put the buggy through its paces. Ambient temperature was around 30+ degree C & humidity must have been pretty high too. I jumped & basically paid no regard to the survival of the buggy for nearly 2 packs until the spur ate my UBEC wires. This is a keeper. I hope I don't jinx it though.

Anyway, I got no answers whether I can do the same to the DOA V2. I think I will just go ahead anyway. I really want to run my X2 tomorrow - still a holiday here.

Hey Joe, keep us posted....My V2 is still running fine on my heavy EMAXX Only damage so far are CVD bending and ripping of glued tire. Anyway, I want to be prepared. Actually like Brian, I rather do preventive measure

[joeling]

I have done the deed & the Monster lives :
