MMM v2 Success / Failure Poll

[tc3_racer_001]

hooray - past the 50% mark! that is good news

edit: well for a few hours

[stum]

Almost forgot.. +1 on violent Failures ** I have multiples so I can't post this**

I still have one good working unit, but the other (recently replaced) went up like a roman candle the other day... only about 20minutes of use in a 4s config on my 8ight buggy with a smaller medusa v2 2000kv motor no less, also using mechanical brakes even :P

[Just go Play]

I've got about 5 packs through my v2 with no problems so far.


Revo 3.3 / Neu 1515 1Y / Flightpower 5s1p 5Ah 25c lipo / MMM v2

Mine died after 20 minutes

well thats 100 people... interesting. still around 50%.... not good enough for a v2. briang can u start another thread of the same thing for v3's?? it will be great to see thim improvement, hopefully it will be 100 to 1.

Mine smoked this past weekend after one run with 6S thunder power extreme V2 5000mah 25C pack..ran 12 min and LVC came on...recharged my lipo, hooked it up, flipped the switch, ESC toned, then SMOKE!!! Just delivered to CC yesterday.

Of course, mine has waited until the worst possible moment to fail. After TQ'ing the Monster Truck class at the RC-Monster "Bash" this weekend, and having a really nice big lead in the main...mine just stopped working when landing (correctly) the big triple. I'm pretty sure the case issue is what got me. Ironically, there may actually be video of this failure...anyway I wonder if one of the Mods can change my vote to a "failed".

It held up to 2.8 days of racing. That last ".2" was the most important though...

Rats.

My stock MMM V2 went poof today. Minor poof, more like a bec failure rather than a violent meltdown. BrianG, can you please change my vote to reflect this?

could it be the moisture in the air from all the rain, since the fan is swirling it all around in there?

I did some more diag last night. It turns on and in a few seconds the lights start to fade and dim...then it's off. I'll bet it's classic BEC failure. Besides, if the moist air was the culprit all the other guys running MMMs should have also had failures...

Can't wait for v3!

Dave - Mine died that day to on my buggy - My bec leads broke just before the 2nd heat so I had to revert to the MMM bec.

It survived everything including the long jump and then died coasting around the track. I'm with Jeff on mechanical stress of the fan connector pushing into the brain board. Even with my cutout there is a clear indent on the foam I had in the insert of the cutout (if that makes sense)

i dont know what happen ...some of my post are deleted...anyway my third v2 come in flame deadly(after 5 min).....very scary thing....

Mine is at 45 hours and counting! Here's hoping it stays that way.
