Mine Died. Second run just after an almost full throttle blip. Fan twitches when the esc is switched on and off and no connection with the castle link. Laptop says the castle link is connected fine but the Device connection status stays red . I'll email castle today.

Don't be scared, might just be a few faulty Switching BEC FETs that came from the factory and your might work without an issue.

Just run it and see what happens. Castle will replace it if it dies I am sure. It does suck though having to send it back to the states and to wait..... again.

not to sound harsh....but if you are afraid to use the MMM it will be a cool looking paper weight, if it does fail it will be due to the existing components, run it like you would normally and if something negative does happen call Castle and they will send you a new one

Unlucky, any work from CC.
Do we take it to Australia Post to get it sent back or do we have to organise something with USPS?

Australia Post I would say. Unless castle is going to pay for the return shipping but I'm not really worried.

Sucks. Sucks sucks sucks sucks. And living in a country where infrastructure is low on the governments agenda it's a 5h1tfight to get it back there and back again. Sorry to hear it MBTim.

Our infrastructure ain't that bad, in some places it is just because they are so remote. Thankfully I live in the infrastructure capital of Australia and my parcels move rather quickly. I just wish I had brought my esc into work so I could have sent it off already.
