I killed it... MMMv3 bit the dust

If possible when you send the Monster in, put a note in it for them to send it straight to Mike. I am curious to see what failed. We have been pushing these things in some really extreme setups for the last couple of weeks with no failures. (other then broken cars from driver failure :) )

We only let him drive when he holds that "I'm the owner of the company" thing over our head. We did figure out that doing 60+mph speed runs in a small parking lot full of cars is kinda stupid. I have had to replace the front end on our RC8 conversion 3 times in the last couple of weeks.

well I'm making an attempt to see if the wires are pinched....I took off the bottom label sticker and there is an oily rust colored residue seeping from the seams of the esc....but I still cant figure how to get it to pop open ....I dont want to break anything

I work at Moffett Field in CA. I have runway's for C5's JUST down the street. I keep trying to figure out who I talk to about making speed runs, or if I should just make one or two without permission, on a Naval Air Base. I've always wanted to visit Leavenworth this time of year.

Will do sir....you guys are the greatest


can a mod please change the title of this thread to "I killed it"......I would say its my fault also but you would think if the esc only got to 170deg. that it should have lived?

Not sure how you was getting the temp readings, but if you was reading 170 outside the case it was probably way over that for actual temp. Still should not have failed for that reason though. I would guess the overstressed batteries were more the factor then anything else. Send it in and I'll figure out what failed on it and get you fixed back up.

used this mike PE1 INFRARED THERMOMETER TEMP GUN

take a look...see the oil droplets on the cover and the inside of the case has like a sandy gritty substance...you can see it good on the wires where they run out the case

How's that?
