MM arming on 5s?

Call me stupid, but if you ignore the extra $$, isnt it easier to just disable the built-in lipo protection and use a seperate lipo monitoring device (LVC)?

Yes, you are correct.
I am just tiring to get a little bit more from well designed MM ESC...

-but looks like this one requires to get a closer look at brains pcb, I missed something. Once you get over lower battery voltage, with PWM, ESC fails to work.
I can see how that can happen, but not quite sure what it’s for...

I'm still not clear on this one. Can I go back to the older software and run 5s? I see lots of people are running 5s and my setup would like 5s but the MM won't arm.

The older MM units will arm on 5s. The newer ones will not. The version of sotware doesnt matter from what I understand. Its in the controller itself.

If you have a new one I believe that you may be able to make it arm on 5s by turing off the LVC. I dont know this to be true becasue I dont have a newer MM to test it with, but this is what I have heard on the board here. If you try it and it doesnt work then you will likely need to get a ESC that was designed to work with 5s if thats what you need. Or possibly find a used older style MM.

Does it works at 4S with new software?

[I've been running it on 4s for a while now. Works perfectly in my really heavy Muggy. If I could up the voltage a bit, it would be even better I'm sure.

Yes....it did on my buddies trucks. They all run the new MM's.

Can you send it to me for testing?
If, yes, than do that at the end of March.
In worse case I will exchange with one of mines, which works at 5S.
