I never had an MMM, but had an MM in my truggy. Since using it in anything larger than a 1/10 stadium truck would make it out of warranty, going with a HW made no difference to me in terms of warranty as I wouldn't be covered. The 80A HW EZRun costs me 1/2 of what the MM cost, so even if it blew up, I could pick up a second for the same price. I picked up a 150A to try out and that still cost me less than what I got my MM for. Yeah, it sucks if there's no customer service backing the product, but for the price, something had to be compromised. Plus, in this hobby, since most things aren't warrantied past 30 days or some other ridiculously short period, I'm of the mentality that if it breaks, it's on me to replace it. The longest warranty (non-CC) I've been exposed to is Duratrax's plastic part replacement for a year. Then you have other companies that even though there might be a warranty, they just deny it and say it's your fault (Losi). Other than that, I'm out of warranty for most of my RC products in a few months or less.
