Would it be possible/economical to take a number of those V1 MMM's with BEC failures, remove the BEC (making it an opto setup), and sell them at a discount? It might be a way to recoup some losses and get something for the hardware that will just be sitting around otherwise. Maybe even include a CC BEC and charge accordingly?

It is me pilots on this video!!
Or is the problem??
With a MGM or a BK warior I made much worse!!
And are contro roasted has the started.
Anyway if castle is intelligent, they will find where from come the problem.
I I burned(blew) out a MGM and the problem was of programming, nevertheless it roasted at once


c'est moi le pilote sur cette vidéo!!
ou est le problème ??
avec un MGM ou un BK warior j'ai fait bien pire !!
et sont contro a grillé a la mise en route.
de toute façon si castle est intelligents, ils trouveront d'où viens le problème.
moi j'ai grillé un MGM et le problème était de programmation, pourtant il a pas grillé tout de suite.

Well, I just called Castle and they said no. Something to do with the fact that they have a flat repair fee, and dishonest people may later send in their discounted V1 to be replaced with a V2 ESC for cheap. Still, I think they could mark such ESCs somehow so V1's could be differentiated from V2's - maybe some etching on the PCB itself.

It seems such a shame to get rid of all that hardware when only part of it is bad. Many electronically-inclined individuals would be more than happy to do a little modding to get the broken ones to work. In my case, it's not about saving money, it's more about reducing waste.
