i didnt think it was pertinent info of who actually had the MM, and thats why i hadn't bothered saying who actually had it at the time. I should be heading over there with my radio soon. It might just be his radio or rx giving him a hard time... Ben has a M8 with spektrum module, SR3000 Spektrum Rx, and access to a DX2.0(i dont know if he tried both radios or not.) I'll be over with my 2 SR3000's and my dx3.0 to see if it changes anything.
BTW, here is the link to the thread of Rusty's own MM solder Job. Mine looks just like it
