Well, I'm trying to install the MMM on my revo today. But before doing so, I installed some heat shrinks on the bullet connectors just to be safe. Everything went fine except when I got to the positive power wire. I can't slide the heat shrink on. It seems that the bullet is either too close or already touching the heat sink. The male connector was also hard to insert because it was rubbing against the case.

Here are some pics:

No problem putting a heat shrink on the neagtive terminal:


I did not open the case to fix the problem. It seems that the bullet was not vertical when it was soldered to the board. I know that it will rub due to vibration and impact later on but we'll see how long it will last. The only modification I did was to lengthen the wire for the switch.
