Turn all of "BATCH 2" MMM up to 6v??

[jhautz]

I personally cant even tell the differeance between when I ran 6v on the CCBEC and the 5.5v in the MMM. If I dont notice it, I dont care. If they would have never told me it was 5.5v I would have gone on my merry way thinking it was 6v and never know differently.

I'm generally not a complainer, but I was really expecting the CCBEC to be integrated into the MMM when they were talking about the MMM having a switching BEC - so for that I am dissappointed. I've yet to see a piece of RC hardware that can't handle a full 6V.

Yet I do understand that the BEC also drives the internal circuitry of the MMM so they don't want someone cranking up the voltage and frying the ESC circuits. Of course there is a BUT to that as well, they could've just thrown a 5V zener diode on the feed to their circuitry to regulate their circuits at 5V and still allowed the user a BEC range of say 5V - 7.5V

Either way, like Jeff said, I can't fell the difference either way (just the gnawing thought in the back of my head that it's not a full 6V). I feel lucky to have just gotten 2 MMM's from the first batch that appear to be running properly and have not died after 2-3 runs on 5s and 6S pushing between 400 and 1500 watts.

Actually, we wish we could have put the CC BEC on it as well. There just wasn't enough room though...not enough pins on the processor as I understand it.

No worries - I am willing to accept the trade-off. I am one of the nuts who was running 5S through the original MM with a CCBEC with no problems, but I have to say the 'feel' of the same setup of with the MMM is a much smoother performance in regards to acceleration.

Make it OPTO and include the BEC with the Monster.

Ditto on that.
