This info is for my v1 that has about 2 hours on it so far:

1) What configuration Erevo, all stock save for mgt 50t spur, 19t pinion. 4s lipo, neu 1515 1.5d.

2) Any mods ? (external BEC etc.) Added some high density foam cushion between the case mottom and the pcb, clearanced the case botton for the fan plug, and enlarged the slot in the case side where the signal/switch wires exit. I plan to add so shrink tubing to those wires and the internal fan wires. I recently purchased a used MMM v1 that had run quite a bit, it had frayed wires on the fan and where they exit the case, the fan plug had also scratched the case bottom alot. Should have taken pics, but just sent it to castle...

3) How long the run time so far ? 2 hours+

4) Driving style (sissy or barbarian) Fast street runs, lots of full throttle and hard brakes. Also ran off road, and on a ginat asphalt hill (mountain?!) A fair amount of jumping. I know how to drive so I am not as rough as some...

5) Any other relevant info: Case design is poor, IMO. It should have some sort of pcb support, other than the lower case. Some plastc tabs and screws would be best. The sticker on the bottom does not stick very well, also the tabs on the case bottom are poor. I have heard about fan clearance issues, and will check my V1 for this. Fan still works fine, it is on all the time being a v1 model. Signal wire exit hole is also poor, should have a runbber grommet, or some sort of wire protection. Internal fan wire also needs addl protection from rubbing the side of the pcb. Honestly all of this shows very poor physical testing... CC needs to do a bit more of that next time...

I will say that the performance has been great. No issues at all with running the motor and the internal bec works flawlessly so far. I have a V2 coming this week and will have it in a LST on 6s, will report back after some testing...
