hey DickT.... when you plug a battery into your monster does the reciever turn on?.....wen i plug my batt in the reciever doesn't power on, the fan doesn't turn, and the castle link won't recognize my monster.....when i put my mamba max back in the receiver powered up, Castle link recognized it and it ran smoothly....are these similair to your problems with your monster?

Guys,

We are looking into this. Seems the BEC chip is failing in some manner. We have not yet gotten any failed units back for a post-mortum, but we will keep everyone informed about our progress on diagnosis.

So far today from tech support...

Four total call-ins for tech support with a "dead" monster.

So it doesn't look like epidemic proportions, but we'll keep tracking it closely!

Could the external CCBEC be used on the Monster? It in itself has been very reliable, at least for the short term.

some have worked with external, mine will not power on with external power.

I'm considering putting an external bec on mine when it arrives after the luck I had with the first.
