Ironically enough.. this was the first time I set ANY of the ESC settings in Castle Link. I turned punch control to 70% and adjust the throttle curve a little less agressive, and of course the LVC to 12.8V.
Did you check you battery voltage after this happened?

This is what makes me afraid to change anything.. it's worked so far and I don't wanna eff it up :(

What's the default LVC setting?

I run mine with the auto lipo settings.After balancing my voltage on a 4s was 12.4 volt.I heard that the MMM V2 has a software glitch with custom lvc so I have not set a custom lvc cutoff.Go to the CC website to the download page for details.

Batteries had maybe 5 minutes of use.. Not even enough to warm up the motor over 100.

I have 3's working V2 now, 2 with more than 1 hour on them & 1 with about 3 hours on it. Out of these, 1 fan broke (blades). I only put 1 good in the poll. No mods.
