I want my nitro setup back! I'll take regular maintenance over waiting forever for parts that work anyday. What a waste of time and money this was!!

I don't think that's fair to say at all. Your only problem is the MMM. Take it out with Castle. Don't come on here and say that your entire setup, or BL/LiPo in general, sucks because you had issues with a single component. That is just stupid. I feel sorry for you, but if your gonna take that attitude about it then you'll have no more sympathy from me.

dear mr. what's nitro: I am not looking for sympathy from you, or anyone; just the simplest thing possible here: a freakin' WORKING remote control monster truck that cost me well north of $1000!! THAT'S ALL!!! My post was not aimed at you, nor was it a personal attack at you, or anyone for that matter. It was me speaking (typing) out of LOTS of frustration that has been brewing over the past SEVERAL MONTHS. If you can't handle my point of view, then read another post. But honestly, you should do yourself a favor, and question/ consider where I'm coming from before you go off the deep end. It will get you further in life, as well as these silly internet discussion forums (I like this forum).

Bottom line: I've been sent 4 controllers, and only one has worked, but not for long. I have wasted my entire summer waiting for this disaster to get fixed. I sold off everything I had that was nitro for this maintenance free, far superior technology, and all I've done is imagine how great it would be if it actually worked. Then, when it does break, there's nothing I can do, because it's just a circuit board!! Don't get me wrong, BL/LIPO IS FAR SUPERIOR to nitro, BUT, when nitro breaks, whatever it is, you find it, and fix it. When BL breaks, you're SOL unless you're an electrical engineer. I'm not.

OMG. Are you serious? You think I was taking it personally? Tell me again who has to get their head checked... I was bashing you based on the fact that you were casting out the entire hobby JUST BECAUSE you had sh*t luck with an ESC! That's it! I'm sure others got the same message from your post but weren't bothered by it enough to comment. I was, and so I did. I think it's extremely rediculous that you could say that electric RC sucks based on a single component. Electronics aren't as "mysterious" as you think. They have very specific reasons for failiing. Just like a nitro engine. Don't bash electric just because you aren't able to diagnose why it breaks. That makes no sense either.

The dude has a point. The MMM's have been proven to be failures thus far(in my book at least), so don't let that sully your opinion of a decent BL setup.
Just get a MM with external BEC and fan until they iron out the issues with the MMM.
