Tell me about it. I think we went through like $8K worth of parts and cars wringing out the V3. (Including completely destroying 2 customer cars... and replacing the whole setup...)

Do you need a better driver (ouch) or maybe a larger area to play/test?

I think we need less power -- our test motor for high power testing was a Neu 1521/1D -- on 6S. NEVER TRY THAT AT HOME. I'M SERIOUS.

We broke so many transmission and gearing parts -- seems every run we would get 2-3 passes and then something in the drive train would fail.

Any videos? It would be really nice to see a 1521 on 6S .

By the way, any thoughts on installing a pair of capacitors on the V3?

I ran my MMMv3 in my new MBX-6 this past Sunday with a 1512/2.D/F and a 5000mah 25c Polyquest.

It ran great for three 6 minute qualifiers and a 20 minute main.

That's the most I've gotten out of an MMM since it came out. And I've been through 6 of them.

This may be the one fellas.

It felt smooth and it stayed together. That's all I can ask of it.

Ahh, I see. Figured that crashes were causing the damage. A 2900kv motor on 6s sounds like fun. What vehicles were you using? I plan to use a 1521 1y on 6s in an erevo.... I doubt I will be as harsh as you guys due to the fact I am not trying to test the motor limits! But I am sure that you can tell me if the erevo will hold up?

Thanks for fixing the MMM Patrick, best esc out there.
