MMM v2 Success / Failure Poll

Where is the "Working normally, with mods" option? I know, I know, you just want stock ESCs...

Funny tho as your avatar has "no fans" but mods are necessary for the esc to work right? I'd leave it as works out of the box or doesn't

I don't follow. My avatar reflect my distaste for fans, which I feel are not needed in a proper setup.

The mods are an attempt to keep these MMMs working until the real fix is out. I mod all my stuff for what I feel should have been done right at the factory. This means removal of fans, adding the necessary heatsinking, circuit mods, etc. It's served me well so far as I've never burnt an ESC or had one go bad.

Whether to mod or not (and how far to go) is up to the user. I personally don't care if the mods void the warranty because I got it very cheap. If I paid full price, I'd probably not want to mod it right away either. But, the mods I've done seem to keep it working, and it's a V1. Another member has done the same and his seems to be working too (so far). To each his or her own I guess.

I don't force anyone to do it. On the contrary, I try to dissuade people with disclaimers and making them aware of the worst case scenario.

Huh? what do heatsinks do - dissipate heat from a component.
what do fans do - help dissipate heat from the heatsink.

Whats wrong with that?

Sorry for off-topic, but all these threads are going round in circles now anyway. The poll is a good idea though.

Mine just gave up I think it was a internal BEC problem,or at least that's what all the sign's point to.
