Who Still Has a Working MMM 'V1'

[BrianG]

Still working on 4s ATM with my mod, will go to 5s in the future.

My first two v1's went up in smoke, but my 3rd v1 is going strong with the original firm ware. I just cut the top of the case off and run with no fan. Works great. Temps typically about 150 - 170 after a 10 or 15 minute main.

I run 5s with a Neu 1512 3d or 1515 2.5d depending on how I feel that day.

I have a V1 that is still working v1.17 software and It just went back into the XT8 truggy to replace the V2 that had a BEC failure. I originally pulled out of the truggy to replace it with the V2 I got in replacement for my first failed V1. Not allot of run time on it yet. Maybe 3 hours or so. My 2 other V1s lasted well past this long before the BEC died in them, so I'm still holding my breath. The V2 I had only made it an hour or 2 before the BEC went. I still have a V2 that hasn't been plugged in yet. Waiting for the V1 to go first.

Still have 1 v1 that works fine. Must have 1.17 firmware, as I do not remember changing it. I have played with the settings with the castle link quite a bit. Running 4s with a 1515 1.5d.

Yup. Using the internal BEC. I also have a v2 that is holding up pretty well, but I am just going to keep using the v1. After the abuse I put it through and if it is still going strong, no need to mess up a good thing. I am going to add a cap to it to take a little pressure off since I don't have a fan on it.

For those that care about setups:

RC8
V1 MMM (top of case cut off completely, no fan)
1512 3d and 1515 2.5d
5s 4000 Zippys
Dx3r w/ Receiver
Geared for about 35-42 mph depending on track
