Ohh yeah, by the way, welcome to the forum :party:

Even the 1.5D on 6S is a heavy hitting combo..
Batts better be up to task and I would seriously consider getting an Eagletree or another data logger and watch your current draw/voltage hits.

Mmm V3
 

Thanks, I would hook up my volt sensor on my Nomadio when I get my Neu 5k
lipo in the mail. I'm still waiting for my 6S 25c maxamp batts but that is the setup that I wanted to run.

I'd monitor current pull as that is what will do ya in if you pull to much from the batteries.
I am sure you have heard that MaxAmps aren't going to be the best route for a massive AMP hungry motor.
If you over draw the batteries, you'll end up experiencing some ripple current/voltage and that can send some electronics up in flames. Might want to look at adding an additional cap...?

Mmm V3
 

What kind of cap should I get and it should be in parallel of the input wires.
Thanks in advance for any advice that you could share.

I'm planning to install 2 2200 micro farad 105*C capacitors on the V3.

Yes, the cap leads go to the battery leads. Just make sure to observe proper polarity when you hook up the caps or they WILL pop and/or smoke (and it's stinky).

ive got 2mmmv3 today...but one of my unit dont want to power off,,,!!!!!:yes:nothing to do...i remove the on-off switch and the controller still power on!!!!:lol:but the green and yellow light blink...if i turn the esc switcn to on position the cotroller work flawlessly...really strange:whistle:

and if ive removed the on-off switch...could it be ramming(if the word is exact..loll)for the esc??????

i run my v3 in my lst2 brushless,good job castle,i have run better and not break on my first run!!

so my 4 v3 unit still alive after 30 min on each one(with 3 cell lipo):yes:dont know if im lucky but now pretty sure that my v3 are bullet proof :lol:

Just want to say that I tested one of my V1 MMM ESC's and one of my V2 MMM ESC's this afternoon both with the new firmware, and they both performed fabulously. Start ups are even smoother, and overall, they just handled everything wonderfully. :yes: Now I just have to wait for one of my MMM ESC's that died on me... :wink:

Great job CC!

great to read!!!!! and for the next batch of v3 could it be this week....:whip:i hope they have ny last unit..

and your right castle do a great job and service:yes:

cc have a great cumstomer service,have not a prob whit my return to cc!!

I will agree with the masses once you get a hold of castle they are very helpfull. have only been able to put about 30 minutes on my v3 so far, was planning to go to the track this weekend but its rainin and the only indoor track i know of near here wont let me run my car:( this is my first v3 5th mmm and i must say it has performed well so far. fan has never come on, car shredding power, smooth throttle, and i had to mess with the curve but the electric brakes work decent now too. i do miss the bias with my mechanical brakes though. somethin i never had on my electric cars and was really helpfull

so all my 4 unit still alive....close to one hour on each(3cell,5 cell.and 6 cell lipo configuration)but i notice that all the unit do the beep song faster(5 second) than 20 second betwin each beep when the truck doesn't run:yes:

V3 worked great today down at The Grove.

2 qualifiers and won the B main, bumped to the A main and finished 4th.

I was in 3rd but made a couple of mistakes late in the race.

V3 is holding it down so far.

I ran the B and the A back to back and the esc was 123 degrees after the A. :mdr:

Well I have had my V3 for a week and am very happy with it so far - they have definately
fixed the BEC issue that caused mine to fail.
I ran it once on its own before it was obvious the internal supply was getting hot driving
two servos and a fan so now I am using an external BEC and its great.

I have one question about the castle link options though -
The brake curve does not seem to alter the brake operation, only reverse. Is it possible
to set a curve for the brake? (always come on too hard for me) The tab says 'brake curve'
but the graph says brake/reverse and I can tell only reverse is different when driving it.

[QUOTE=GT35R;228382]Well

if i understand the esc come hot because you used 2 servo and a fan??????

Yeah well the BEC would have heated up under the load, and I could tell that it was struggling to move both the servos when steering side to side on the spot.

My V3 is "bone stock", except for the fact that I removed the male bullets from the included wires and direct soldered all of them to the female bullets at 90 degrees.

Then I drilled a bunch of holes in the case to vent the caps a bit.

Oh yeah, I did try and secure the fan wire too. :mdr:

I received my MMM last week and opened it up to inspect everything. I noticed that the edges of the circuit board are very sharp. As well, the receiver and fan leads had a nice slice through the insulation. I put shrink wrap around the receiver, fan and switch leads and also put shrink wrap around the female bullet connections. Otherwise, it's a very nice design.

A couple of close shots of my modded MMMv3. :mdr:

do you use a ext. bec?????

Hey macr0w, have you drill a hole on each of the female bullets conectors on the MMM board to put the wires on and soldered them??

Yeah, I drilled holes, tinned the wire good and stuck them in the holes and then feed a bunch of solder in there.

They seem to be good to go. It's got 2 weekends of hard racing and a few trips around the backyard and the street with no issues.

Like I said above it's "bone stock".

No external bec or anything. :mdr:

ta hate den avoir un mmmv3 hein mon david:lol::whistle:

en passent jarrive de rouler encore avec un v3 pi cer comme une ti vierge...ben ben lfun:party:

loool.david dont want a mmm!!!:gasp:

Anyone??

even if you put the curve lowest possible....ive try this and ive got a very smooth braking...and what about your % brake level???

I'm using 50% brake and a very exaggerated exponential type curve.
With this reverse does almost nothing till the trigger is pushed far back but the
brakes still come on too hard with a light push.

Soooo... has anyone else tried playing around with the brake curve and had success
or otherwise?

Monster V3
 

I ran my Hyper 7 with a 25 tooth pinion, 4S 6K Polyrc lipo, 1515 1.5D Neu and Monster V3, it cogs a little at slow speed. but when you pull the trigger it goes. The V3 was taking it with no problem after one charge. I need a bigger parking lot for speed run.:lol: I also talked to CC tech and they said to watch for motor temps but the ESC should take it with no problems.

I had the same problem. i had to change the curve on my radio and bring the epa down to about 75-80% to get it smooth..

A little warning to others. I drove 3 laps on track, the esc case opened on a jump landing and i didnt notice. On second landing it "died", but luckily i got it working (guess nothing was really broken _yet_). But be sure its closed properly, breaks easily if the case is open and some parts hit the bottom of the case or some other part of the car. I didnt open it before using, so it was straight outta box and a bit loose.

so my 4 mmmv3 still alive after 2 hours on each unit!!!!!!:mdr::whip:seriously castle i can just say wowow...for all...the service..the communication..and for the mmmv3!!!:yes:im not anxious about the fact that the v3 should be have a long life

Hehe, tested today the short circuit of motor wires. :) Damn china XL-motor short circuited. Some balancing thing came off of the axle inside the motor and went between coil and magnet -> short circuit. ESC seems to be just fine. So we can trust what Patrick said about the heatsink short circuit, it doesnt matter if it happens.

new review....simply the best esc that i ever buy:yipi:all my 4 unit still going strong:whip:4 hour on each one:party:nothing else to say:rules:the wooootest temps that the esc reach is 97f on 6 cell lipo and a 1515 1y after 30 minute of street bashing and speed pass(at 10deg celcius)and my v1 unit run flawlessly after 50 hours...and the 1.20 software update

good job cc:party::yes:

so after 5 month ...only one stop (one of my seven unit)working yesterday:yes:i landing a little jump(land on the snow not really hard)and the lit come off the unit....at this time a lite piece of the principal board of the mmm detach and the truck stop running... only the sterring was working..no power (time to have the traxxas holding esc)so im really lucky i founded the little piece and i reweilded and the unit work flawlesly.....:yes::whip:

so the mmm at this time for me is a goog reliable esc:yes:
