however, if i run the mmm's in my e-maxx's with 62-68/18 or close to that, i get constant issues like power losses for no appparent reason after just a few runs or a week or 2.

it's depressing that it's taking an average of 4 weeks for me to get them back, and now hearing that they are out of stock of v3's again....yikes. I'm glad i have 8 available at home.

I'm a loyal Castle buyer....it's all i run, but i'm starting to lose faith.

You have 8 MMM?! You need to get into some RC anonymous program. I was feeling guilty about wanting a 2nd MMM as backup for my E-8ight. I'll definitely be getting a spare and maybe even on for my E-crt.5 as the MM in it is acting up.

As for your notice of 4wd being harder on an ESC. There is no doubt. With much greater traction and generally more weight, 4wd draws more amps and amps seem to be whats hardest on ESCs. Also keep an eye on things like extra drag in the driveline system.
