Crap, oh well. I guess it will take that much longer to get the vids up of al of my rc collection. I know what they look like in action, but everyone else keeps pestering me for vids!

I feel bad for Jerry, he is maybe 30 miles south of me and he got a bad MMM.

Happywing 05.13.2008 07:58 PM

Got my tracking number...:yes:

q8-maxx 05.13.2008 08:11 PM

Got my tracking number :)

Mike Is this mmm come with connecter or I have to buy?

johnrobholmes 05.13.2008 08:16 PM

many of the MMM have the connectors in the box. If yours doesn't contact Castle and they will send you a set.

hootie7159 05.13.2008 09:40 PM

got my tracking number today as well :yipi: ...when this MMM arrives, i'll be running the CC external BEC until the MMM i sent back to castle gets fixed so that i'll have one without having to wait just in case this one's BEC fails as well...although the setup does look pretty clean without a bunch of BEC/fan/external 25v capacitor wires hanging around....its just servo plug, esc plug...thanks mike!!!!!!!!! :yipi:

TDC57 05.13.2008 09:55 PM

:grrrrrr: I didn’t get my email from Mike today… Sniffle, sniffle :eyes:

My plugs were attached to the invoice, not in the box (this wasn't from Mike though)

hootie7159 05.15.2008 04:29 PM

sleebus.jones 05.15.2008 04:39 PM

Did you get bullets with yours?

TexasSP 05.15.2008 05:06 PM

I just got mine in the mail, with bullets!

I can't wait to fire this baby up!

hootie7159 05.15.2008 05:10 PM

yeup...got the bullets :yes: but i did notice that the on/off switch casing was broken http://www.flickr.com/photos/26600692@N03/2495774034/ :oops: but its only the switch no biggie.. :yes:

sleebus.jones 05.15.2008 05:15 PM

Sweet! Well mine should be waiting for me at home then. :)

MetalMan 05.15.2008 06:20 PM

Mine came today as well :yes:. I still haven't quite figured out where it will be used, though.

lincpimp 05.15.2008 07:11 PM

Got mine today from Mike. Installed it in MM's old revo with the slipperential. Running a hacker 7xl b50 on 4s (2 trakpower). Ran it for 15min and it worked fine. This is a high draw setup, but the esc stayed cool. I used the internal bec and it worked fine for me, so I guess that I got a good one! Mine came with connectors in a little baggy, so I used them. Nice connectors, I will have to buy some more, what size are they, 6.5mm?

TexasSP 05.15.2008 07:28 PM

I got everything soldered up now and I really like those 6.5mm bullets. They are beefy but were a breeze to install. Now just waiting for batteries to charge. I am only doing a test run right now as my 3s lipo packs are not in though.

That is an awesome setup! When I had that Revo I ran a Feigao 7XL through a MM on 5s2p A123, with a 20t pinion. Top speed was ~45mph, and the 7XL (finned can) didn't go over 160deg. F. The MM on the other hand would thermal in a couple minutes without a fan. If only the MMM had been in production while I still had that truck...

And yes, 6.5mm plugs.

lincpimp 05.15.2008 08:26 PM

It seems powerful, but the hacker is getting near 160f! I think the center diff has been leaking, so I may be over revving the motor, not much load with the front tires off the ground. I currently have the punch control at 100% and the timing at normal.

TexasSP 05.15.2008 08:42 PM

Well, my bec just bit the dust, so I am out in the first few minutes.

Oh well, it happens. I will just call CC in the morning.

It was smooth as butter while it ran though. Align 600XL motor. Did some nice low speed passes, and it crawled around with no hesitation. All in all not bad for a 6 pole sensorless outrunner.

Unlucky, so how many have died now?
