And are contro roasted has the started.
Anyway if castle is intelligent, they will find where from come the problem.
I I burned(blew) out a MGM and the problem was of programming, nevertheless it roasted at once


c'est moi le pilote sur cette vidéo!!
ou est le problème ??
avec un MGM ou un BK warior j'ai fait bien pire !!
et sont contro a grillé a la mise en route.
de toute façon si castle est intelligents, ils trouveront d'où viens le problème.
moi j'ai grillé un MGM et le problème était de programmation, pourtant il a pas grillé tout de suite.

C'est humorisitque quand je dit que c'est pas surprenant que le contrôleur ai cramé, en fait jai plus mal pour le chassis que pour le controleur. :)

okay !!
tu parle francais mister T ??
dou you spike french mister T ??

I think I will have to put it to the test with my Plettenberg Big Maxximum.

Still, I think they could mark such ESCs somehow so V1's could be differentiated from V2's - maybe some etching on the PCB itself.

Don't buy it as they could do something very simple - like trim 1 corner fin by 2mm...

It seems such a shame to get rid of all that hardware when only part of it is bad. Many electronically-inclined individuals would be more than happy to do a little modding to get the broken ones to work. In my case, it's not about saving money, it's more about reducing waste.

I am with you on that. No reason a distinguishing mark or other couldn't be used to identify the V1 failures.

Your right, they are still good ESC's and I would have no problem owning one.

Its an awful waste of resource, not to mention that it can be recycled. I mean if their concern is false claim of warranty, removing BEC parts would be a distinguishing mark. I would mine owning 1 of the working V1's as well...

without that extra heatsinking it might require a fan! :O

No gripes here just a very satisfied MMM V2 owner.This is my newest project a Cen Matrix Pro with the Monster Mamba Max Neu/1512/1.5D/F 3s 6000.Its freakin realy fast.I also want to thank Mike from RCM for the help with the battery tray and ofcourse the sweet machined motormount.

Nice ride...good to hear about your V2....

Maybe you can make a new thread and post some vids.....

What version of Castle Link do we use for the V2? Because 3.10 does not see the ESC.

[phatmonk]

Castlelink V3.051 with Windows XP
