I loaded this new firmware and the my MM does not start anymore!!!! the lights only blink.. the BEC comes on and sends voltage to the steering, but that's about it...
no chiming from the motor... no response from the throttle... when i went back to an older firmware, there was no change... what gives??

Help Please...

edit: The fan stayed on the entire time...

Do you have a Castle link? Maybe try to reupdate you ESC with the castle link.

ANGRY-ALIEN 07.21.2010 03:38 PM

Yep... I used a Castle link... installed the new firmware because it was there and I also wanted the option of increasing Auto LVC to 3.5V per cell... but I when i started up the esc,
there was no chime confirmation, just the lights blinking... went back to the previous firmware and the problem persists... No Chimes, no throttle response and the fan stayed on.

And if you load the default settings again?

ANGRY-ALIEN 07.21.2010 03:41 PM

I will try that later when I get home...

You initially said you have the MM (Mamba Max), but you also say "the fan stayed on". So do you have the Mamba Max or the Mamba Monster (MMM)? The issue in the other thread was only for the Mamba Max.

Sorry about... I meant the Mamba Monster... i edited the first post to mention the fan... So yes... My Mamba Monster is having the issue with the new firmware.

Yay! I had put the old-new sofware on my truck yesterday and went to run it today and it was dead as a doorknob. Got home and saw this thread and intalled the new-new software and it runs, no more paperweights :) thanks for the speedy fix castle creations.

No go for me man... I downloaded the new firmware (CURRENT CASTLE LINK VERSION: 3.255)... turned on the esc... the lights come on...
the fan starts up high and then settles when the yellow lights start to blink (but stays on a slower spin rate)... the Light react to the throttle
positions, forward, reverse and neutral... but no movement.:whip:

GO to the original firmware. then I went back to the brand new stuff, ( I got an error the first time), so old, new, than reinstall new.

and mine is back from the dead.

Still the same result:cry:... Do I send it to Castle for them to have a look at it?

You are using the Castle Link device to do the update right (not the direct USB port)?
