A few people complain about the cost of freight sending them back. A ext. BEC is only $22

However my old-reliable MM has flaked...I started a new thread about it seeking help...

I BOUGHT MY FIRST ONE FOR MY E-REVO. RUNNING A NEU 1515 1.5D ON 6S GEARED AT 58/18. THIS THING IS GHOST! NOT ONE ISSUE. BOUGHT A SECOND ONE FOR MY ALL ALUMINUM MAXX. MOTOR IS A MEDUSA 2000KV. NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SPIN THE MOTOR. POWERED ON AND I WAS ADJUSTING THE STEERING. NEXT THING IT WAS LIFELESS. LESS THAN 30 SECONDS. THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT TESTED BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE WAREHOUSE I GUESS.

they are tested... but im 90% sure they are NOT powered on before sending them out.
they test the fets (not an issue) to see if there is a problem. test them for 24hrs i thought? perhaps not. who knows?

Almost forgot.. +1 on violent Failures ** I have multiples so I can't post this**

I still have one good working unit, but the other (recently replaced) went up like a roman candle the other day... only about 20minutes of use in a 4s config on my 8ight buggy with a smaller medusa v2 2000kv motor no less, also using mechanical brakes even :P

Of course, mine has waited until the worst possible moment to fail. After TQ'ing the Monster Truck class at the RC-Monster "Bash" this weekend, and having a really nice big lead in the main...mine just stopped working when landing (correctly) the big triple. I'm pretty sure the case issue is what got me. Ironically, there may actually be video of this failure...anyway I wonder if one of the Mods can change my vote to a "failed".

It held up to 2.8 days of racing. That last ".2" was the most important though...

Rats.

could it be the moisture in the air from all the rain, since the fan is swirling it all around in there?
