I for one, am willing to post pics and vids of my experience once the MMM arrives to see what happens. Based on what I've read, there could be a BEC issue. I'm running a Tekno-converted REVO with ACE 1015 and 1313 servos. Should I use a CC BEC to spare the MMM from having to power these servos?

Oh yeah..Brian G, haven't forgotten about you.. I'm sending a little box your way.

I have a v1 mmm and I am using a ccbec and also took the fan off of the esc and wired it to the rx....so far so good. I also cut the grill out of the fan case to prevent the fan blades from hitting the top of the case. The decision to run a cc bec is up to you. It will void your warrantee. Just something to think about.....good luck!

Wow.. really? Hmm.. well I want to be able to return the esc if it fails. Maybe I'm not so "willing" to experiment after all..

That is not true.

Why do you say that?

The way BrianG did it will, but not doing it the way castle recommends.

a guy at the track today had the mmm in his buggy it ran great for a bit, then took a silent death, his truggy is still goin strong tho

Lol, that's one way to disable the BEC! (I see the BEC coil laying in the carnage)

No, the lipos seem fine. I hooked the balance taps up to one of (THESE)

they read about 4.1 per cell

I was running the zippy 20-30c 4300mAh running 2 3s packs in a series for 6s

tekno neu 1515/1Y
63/24 gearing

that little batt moniter is pretty awesome

i wish it was an active balancer though
