Try this- plug in a receiver pack and see if the servo works or not. If not, then you may have been plugging in your RX-to-ESC wire upside-down. I've done it before and it resulted in a fried MM.


Get me back into RC!

A pic of the rec with the wires in it would be good too. Sinal wire is usually toward the center of the case, ground wire goes to the outside of the case.

I know, I know, I've checked this connection a million times too, and it is correct. The servo and rx were both pulled from my fully functional nitro buggy. The servo is futaba, so you can't hook that up wrong, as it is a directional plug. The MMM plug could go in either way, but I've checked a million times. The radio works perfect too, I still use it with my micro t. (yep, I converted that to BL, DSM, and a GIANT lipo!). Also, EVERY time any of the MMM's have been hooked up, the steering servo horn has been disconnected. It was only connected once for a pic, which was actually taken only to show you guys my conversion.

The servo was connected during every calibration attempt, and worked every time. Also, the throttle channel works too, or at least it did in the buggy. Should I test it again? But if it was bad, why did it work for me today before the death of MMM V2 #3??

I don't have access to anything else at all, but for the few seconds that it all worked, well, it all worked. Anybody got more ideas, or a bottle of something maybe?

Out of curiosity, put a multimeter across the battery and check it's voltage. I know it's a long shot......
