We all agree it sucks (including castle) - If venting helped I'm happy for you... I think we've all done it but realised it won't help it come any faster...

And maybe I did go slightly overboard, BUT, to say that this situation sucks; well, that's a bit of an understatement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so psyched to get my truck going! I bought a brand new truck (Muggy), and that's always fun, and I ditched every single item I own that's related to nitro to fund this very expensive project. I spent quite some time putting it all together, and then, poof! I would have been happier if I got a couple of minutes runtime at the very least, but I never even got to finish calibration.

I'm sure castle is upset and stressed out, but given my particular circumstances, I just wanted a working ESC, and I wanted it a few weeks ago. I know they'll fix it, but, well, this sucks!! Have I mentioned that already???

See your problem is you didn't get to run it at all. I ran mine and even when it died I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. After experiencing how smooth and powerful the MMM can be I know it will be worth the now extended wait to get it running.

I got about an hour on mine before failure. However its not a bec failure. Just sent e-mail to cc and waiting to see what will happen. Fan had stopped and everything got hot but the fan works now as does the bec circuit, rx still powers up and servos work. Anyone else had a non bec failure of a mmm?

mine is still going strong.....this past weekend the tires became disconnected from the rims.....I have to buy new rims/tires but thats better than waiting for a new ESC..:-0

I preordered the MMM and recieved it about a month before my e-revo. It sat on my workbench next to my tekno neu 1515/1Y. When the E-revo finally came in I spent the night (after work) soldering with a big grin on my face. At about 4 in the A.M. I took it outside. I went down the driveway and realized I didnt reverse my steering(spektrum):no:, so i stopped, fixed that and turned it back on. I took it down the driveway again, and realized I needed to tighten the slipper:oops:. So, again I shut it down, fixed it and turned it back on. I got to the end of my driveway.....

...and it died!:cry:

Mine ran less then 3 minutes.

Had a problem with the mamba 25 as well. I updated to the latest software and it killed the esc. They sent me a sidewinder micro to replace it, but it took 3 1/2 weeks to get it because they were waiting on the packaging:neutral:

:drunk: now ....i'll drink....and wait :wink:
