Hmmm very strange problem!

[thzero]

Thomas,

I have two that are v3s (I believe?), one demonstrated the issue and the other didn't (actually you guys should have the one that didn't as I sent it in for repair work). How can we tell which version is which and is their minor revisions within a version?

I agree with Neil, we need to start a thread about this issue and make it a sticky. The engineers need to see the problem occur, so I am working on getting them a setup that shows the problem. I am thinking it may be specific to a version of the Monster, but I was hoping to get some feedback from you guys and see if I can find a common element. We are now actively working on this issue, and I will keep everyone informed as to the progress. Please check the top of the forum for a sticky on this issue. Thanks!

There is no 'problem'- read the previous posts. Certain revisions of the castle esc don't react well to certain firmware updates due to different hardware being used inside the esc wiht each revision.
If you try a version of firmware which causes the esc to behave strangely ( like low throttle stuttering for example ), then try a different version of firmware until the 'problem' stops = problem solved. There is nothing wrong with the esc, and nothing wrong with most of the firmware version as such- it's just an unfortunate coincidence that firmware and hardware don't always play nicely together.
