MMMv2 was a dud
 

Well I got my Monster from Mike's second preorder yesterday evening, soldered everything up last night and went out to run this morning. Everything was fine for about the first 10 or so minutes then in the middle of a pass it just started coasting. I turned the switch off and back on and it worked again for a couple of seconds the quit again. The bec showed .20 volts when I checked it. What a bummer. I guess I'll have to put my v1 back in until I get another one.

Sucks to hear that Jerry. I hope to have my first V2 (3rd MMM) here by the end of the week. Going straight to 6s lipo on it, and I will torture it till it says uncle. Hope I get more than 10 mins out of it. My 1st V1 is still going strong, must be past 3 hours by now...

Sorry for your loss...I'm suffering too. I just received my second bad control. I'm sticking with mgm.

Well, I'm a a 50% failure rate. Out of the 4 I've gotten 2 quit in 10 min or less and 2 are still working. I'm using a CCBEC on a v1 that has about 10 or so hrs on it and my first v2 is working perfectly with no mods except a little tape on the fan wires. I've been hammering on it everyday with 5 and 6s and have had no problems so far with it. Maybe it just depends how lucky you are?

I have never been lucky in my life...I get where I'm going on pure piss and vinegar.

Luck isn't needed if you're skilled like me. :whistle:

So the problems are still not addressed during my absence?

Well, it does act different than my first v1 that failed. This one will work again if you cycle the switch or unplug the battery. My first Monster wouldn't come back to life at all. I tried unplugging the ESC from the receiver to see if it would work with no load but it still quit after about 30 seconds. The v2 also communicates with the Castle Link whereas the v1 wouldn't.

Someone made a voodoo doll of the mmm and there sticking pins in it....we just need to find the bastard!

:eyes:it's me
























:lol::lol::lol:

I would like to go on the record and personaly thank Patrick for letting his customer's do the Beta Testing.I wonder how much money he's saving letting us do the Beta Testing and svrewing over his customer's,instead of making an ESC that work's we have more duds than working unit's,and instead of me being able to enjoy myself on the weekend or after work by going out and Bashing my truck now all I can do is use it for a very very costly paper weight.You Da man Patrick You Da man.Seeing as that you are letting your customers do the Beta Testing for you and letting us iron out the bug`s and seeing it is customary that Beta Testers get paid by the company they test for do you want to discuss my fee now or later.

if you have no need for motor braking ( mechanical brakes or dont care about braking) a CC HV110 will make a good ESC

man o man ...i just recieved mine today....you guy's are making me nervous.....i hope i don't have the problems i'm seeing a lot of guys on here are

You're right.
I've a V2 who'll suppose to arrive next week and i'am very nervous to try it.
I've fried a MGM 16018 last week-end, and if my MMM goes bad too, i'll simply stop the electric and return nitro. I can't imagine to have a $1000.00 + brushless truck and always wait for the controller.

I'll return nitro and when a companies will finaly came with a true reliable controller, i'll maybe re-start with brushless.

nitro is not without issue!i have 3 UE nitro trucks that are a huge pain in the ass!....always tuning,tuning,tuning...that is why i went,BL!...now its batts,batts,batts!....my 50" BONZI(gas boat) with Quickdraw is the most friendly!!!...but then i have a lake next to my house:yes:
