i got my v2 today, and it is dead

[mk351e]

nope, this is my 1st real BL setup (besides my micro T). just a few months ago, I was asking questions on these forums nonstop! I sold off all my nitro stuff to do this, so that's the other reason I've been so pissed lately - i don't have any nitro, I don't have any electric; I have nothing since march basically!!

however, I don't get it though, I mean CC themselves even told me this would be a killer setup! I consulted with them before I even bought ANY of this stuff!

i just tried to plug in my MMM to castle link in an act of desperation, and I while nothing happened, the castle link board got very hot. Hmmmmm

Your castle link may be powering the esc with too much voltage, possibly killing the internal bec... Did you send the included castle link back with the v1? Or did you keep it and they just sent you a new esc, without the castle link...

I would send the castle link back with the esc, and have them test it. It must have some sort of pass thru, as most usbs output 5v...

That's what would happen with my V1 escs after they died. It almost sounds as if they have accidentally shipped you a V1.

I don't think we would have accidentally shipped a V1, we were very careful to pull all V1 circuit boards out of production to prevent something like that...

We need to get the Castle Link and the MMM back -- so we can see 'em here and figure out what went wrong. Most likely a bad component (infant failure)

Thanx!
