This is not Good

Have you just checked to see if indeed there is a short between the barrel and the heatsink? Very easy to do with a voltmeter, a battery, basic stuff that you should have laying around. Much easier to check than to speculate on a forum like this....

Lee,
I have a V3. I lengthened the switch wire so I can install the switch inside my rx box. Since you mentioned V2, is it okay to lengthen the switch wire on the V3?

And for the second time, I'm not worried about a short . I'm going to say again that my concern is the fact that when the male connector is inserted into the ESC connector, it is pushing the connector away from the heat sink which puts undue load to the soldered point. Do you understand that? As you can see, there is no gap between the positive connector and heat sink while the negative connecto has about 2mm. I also checked the 2nd V3 I received and it was soldered better. There is at least a 2mm gap between the positive/negative terminals and heat sink.

By the way, I'm not speculating anything. If you can't help any, then I think it would be better if you just do your work at Castle to make the MMM better .

You can read this thread so you can give your input too:
