Okay, I'll say something that'll piss you all off( don't get angry with me though, just for fun and discussion) although it might seems a bit sadistic.

Well, what if you got the system and you are totally enraptured by it's quality? You did not sleep at night and kept working on the MMM and the motor. You put it in your truggy or buggy and your heart pulse has gone sky high with excitement.
Although it's 3 AM, you went out to the street and wanted to give your vehicle a shot.
One pass, another pass....man!!! this thing is SICKKKKKKKK!!!!
On the third pass, the vehicle started cogging like crazy without any prior warning and it suddenly stopped............:(.....you went to the car, took off the body, started inspecting the $300+ system and then.....puffffffff......smoke is out........
Hmmmmmm.....this might happen right? ( well, I hope none of you will face such an incident), but that's still possible...so be careful.

well it may happen.... however if you are doing it the way you describe it above you violate the number one modelers rule: "never work on your models in a hurry!". if you are making mistakes (wrong wiring, bad soldering, confuse something etc) you mostly do it because you are in a hurry. i learned that the hard way. as it is a hobby and not a job you should always be relaxed working on your cars. in the end you are even faster and make fewer mistakes. i try to follow this rule more the older i get. e.g. i skip this 3 am in the morning testing-thing etc. you can be sure you mess up something doing it.
just my 2 cents.

Working as a distributor of electronic components, I have to keep up with all the EMS providers and manufacturers to find out if anything gets recalled. I remember when the company that was doing the PS3 sent out the list of components to be quoted. I got the list and I didn't waste my time to quote it out. A lot of the times when things goes bad with electronics, they blame the person who sold them first. When the PS3 hit the market I know a few units got recalled. That's why I like to wait a few before I buy my things. Some components might be defective from a bad batch of silicon wafer that went undetected. After you all done your testing with the MMM and gives the OK, I'll get one.

^ +1. I agree with waiting for the "bugs" to be worked out. Unless you are in dire need of the MMM, I would wait a little while. I was one of the first several people to get a MM and happened to be lucky (and never ran it past what it was intended for), but look at the other ESCs (Quark, MGM, etc) and the little quirks many have that were found out only after they were ran in multiple setups.

[johnrobholmes]

I feel comfortable buying from the first production run because Castle bench tests every controller.

[BrianG]

They do? Wow, that's kinda nice!

Hmmm, I have something I made myself that you may call a "monster" that I can put in a brown paper bag. It does not smell very good, but it will certainly keep the nitro guys away!







Ps, it is poo.

[gixxer]

Based on how well my MM has performed I really am not concerned about being one of the first to test the Monster.
