a MMM v3 that WORKS

[shaunjohnson]

since no one seems to post how WELL their MMM's go, it's always MMM caught fire or MMM up in smoke.
here's one of the good ones

phil my friend (i set him up, he races while i'm stuck on cash probs..so i run the noisy smoker revo)
he's running a MMM v3 early model (bullets on battery side) with a medusa 2000kv 70mm motor in a revo platnium 3905 conversion.
geared 12/65
running 6s 5000mah zippy-H 20-30c batts.

under race condition...
motor NEVER goes past 130*f
ESC never has even used the fan...EVER (only on startup)
runs pretty slow but that's fine for race conditions.
his punch and brake curves are pretty tamed down.

going very well.

on the other hand, another guy with a mugen MBX5 buggy.
running a sippy 20c 4s pack on the 2200kv combo.
geared for 50mph
runs resonably cool.

but has settings turned right up, this resulted in the regenerative voltage to spike to 40+ volts, thus killing the MMMv3

so the moral of the story is...
if u wanna use cheap packs, crank up the voltage, turn down the settings and gear down.

if u wanna go nuts, get the best packs u can find and then u can probably crank the settings up a bit keeping heat in check
