sweet i think that would work on just about anything!! wow... ok i guess i will just say it maybee its more common than i think. kinda long story but here we go.. wanted a mmp. out of stock except 9000kv combo sooo... get combo and different motor. program and install both. works great. set it down for a while to work on another car. pic it bac up and plug in 3s pack. nothing. try everything ie. changing packs connectors flashing esc switching motors receivers.... then went out on a limb, the only voltage pack i hadnt tried with it was 7.4. the only 2s packs i have are for my little girls rc18, and up until this point all that would happen is the lights would flash for a second as i UNPLUGGED the packs. lol but when i plugged that little 2s pack in.... beep beep!! anyways i called castle and explained what happend and how lucky i am and it had only been seen once. the tech person said it might be temp related. so this morning i started playin with it. i took it out of the pitbag and temped the mmp... 85 degrees ok. put truck near window in sun with 3s pack plugged in and switch on... nothing again, now we wait. ten minutes later beep beep beep! 95 degrees is it. funniest damn thing to me i dont know why, think mostly because i will probably race it until i get a replacement. sorry to dissapoint everyone but i thought it was different.
