I wonder if Castle knows that they seem to have a switch problem as well as the other issues, hopefully they do and will be able to put a different switch on it for the V3s

just got home from racing. went to a new indoor track tonight and it was awesome. much nicer than the usual track i go to. the MMM held up thru 2 batteries without any problems. love the new switch. after the first battery (30 min) the esc was a tad hot so i mounted a 25mm fan and ran the 2nd batt and it stayed very cool. damn, these things provide great fun when they are working. i had a blast tonight.

I'm sure they chose the current switch because it is cheap and helps keep costs lower. That and the stock switches are lighter, and some people are looking to shave as much weight as possible.

Makes sense, but you could have the cheapest, lightest switch on the market but if it isnt reliable, it doesnt do much good. :no:
