Mine came today as well . I still haven't quite figured out where it will be used, though.

Got mine today from Mike. Installed it in MM's old revo with the slipperential. Running a hacker 7xl b50 on 4s (2 trakpower). Ran it for 15min and it worked fine. This is a high draw setup, but the esc stayed cool. I used the internal bec and it worked fine for me, so I guess that I got a good one! Mine came with connectors in a little baggy, so I used them. Nice connectors, I will have to buy some more, what size are they, 6.5mm?

That is an awesome setup! When I had that Revo I ran a Feigao 7XL through a MM on 5s2p A123, with a 20t pinion. Top speed was ~45mph, and the 7XL (finned can) didn't go over 160deg. F. The MM on the other hand would thermal in a couple minutes without a fan. If only the MMM had been in production while I still had that truck...

And yes, 6.5mm plugs.

It seems powerful, but the hacker is getting near 160f! I think the center diff has been leaking, so I may be over revving the motor, not much load with the front tires off the ground. I currently have the punch control at 100% and the timing at normal.

I got everything soldered up now and I really like those 6.5mm bullets. They are beefy but were a breeze to install. Now just waiting for batteries to charge. I am only doing a test run right now as my 3s lipo packs are not in though.

Well, my bec just bit the dust, so I am out in the first few minutes.

Oh well, it happens. I will just call CC in the morning.

It was smooth as butter while it ran though. Align 600XL motor. Did some nice low speed passes, and it crawled around with no hesitation. All in all not bad for a 6 pole sensorless outrunner.

mine met its maker today. Best 12 minutes of my life that ended in dissapointment (next to that 1 time in Thailand) The guy at castle was all "sorry we had some bad components go out in the controllers, send it back we are moving the monsters to the front of the line to be fixed"... I said dude dont worry about it, it was totally worth it !! 1515/1y on 6s was all id hoped it would be, even if for that brief moment lol
