Phew! I can finally take a deep breath- I bin holding my breath since you first posted that it was in Australia! I hope you have good luck with it- the posts about failures are dis-turb-ing!

Great news. Was this in the Savage? What motor and battery were you using?

Hi Ryan. I ordered Sat I think. I agree it is hard to decide between wishing for a Monster now or later ie soon or reliable!

I'm running an 11xl with a Neuenergy 6s 4900mah 20c lipo. So far my highest peak recorded by the eagle tree was 89amps but I haven't taken it up to full throttle yet.

So... just to clarify the second batch is going to have the plugs on the esc. The wires won't be soldered directly to the board. Thanks

Oh boy are they shipping...

I placed a pre-order with Tower back on April 17th when they were listed for $164.99 (got $15 off of that, so $149.99 shipped). Well, I never did cancel the backorder and they apparently have gotten some in stock...at least enough that they are packing mine up to ship right now.

This means by this time next week, I should have 3 MMM's.

Just put 1 buy-it-now on ebay for $500 and you'll have them paid off

I thought the 2nd batch has been sent & the 2nd batch comes with 6.5mm bullets. Did yours come with bullets MTBikerTim?

I think we are confused here -- The second BUILD of MMM has not yet happened. There have been several batches built, but all of those are wired controllers.

The second build will take place a little later this month, we are still waiting on a couple of parts. The second build will have the SMT 6.5mm connectors.

Right-o, thanks Patrick. I ordered bullets anyway, so the bullets don't worry me

With the 6.5mm SMT connectors, will you be able to use the pick & place machine on those to reduce manual soldering time? I can imagine that it's probably a strange part to try and have placed, especially if you have tight tolerances on the plated through holes.

I'm just curious...the engineer in me wants to know.
