Do you have a Castle link? Maybe try to reupdate you ESC with the castle link.

Yep... I used a Castle link... installed the new firmware because it was there and I also wanted the option of increasing Auto LVC to 3.5V per cell... but I when i started up the esc,
there was no chime confirmation, just the lights blinking... went back to the previous firmware and the problem persists... No Chimes, no throttle response and the fan stayed on.

You initially said you have the MM (Mamba Max), but you also say "the fan stayed on". So do you have the Mamba Max or the Mamba Monster (MMM)? The issue in the other thread was only for the Mamba Max.

That's odd -- we haven't had any other reports of a Mamba Monster having any issues. Does it chime on power-up when connected to a motor?

Thanx!
