Just burnt up my 3rd MMM with about 1 min of slow speed and was cogging really bad. Lost stearing and coasted into a bush. Pulled it out and as I started, flames shot out the top

Well Id say its a good decision unless you need it as a dependable ECS right now.

If you can tolerate it dying if it does and waiting until they get this mess figured out you scored a totoal deal that you wont see again once the V3 is released.

All that said.. Ive killed a V1 and a V2, but I have another V1 that has a good bit of time on it now and it seems to be holding up OK. (of course my first V1 made the 20 hour make before it died too) Not sure whay some seem to die and others work, but if you get a good one your fine, if you get a bad one, you wait.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

I've been running V1 since early may. Twice a week for Track practice, and once to twice a month racing.The first thing all of us should do to stop these things from going up in smoke is to run the fan wires out of the esc to another source. On both the V1 and V2 the fanwires come in contact with the edge of the circuit board and short out in time. Either use the reciever or balance plug to power the fan. Most whom made this move early with there esc's still are using them sucessfully. Hopefully they address this first in the V3.

Plaviblue, it sounds like you had the "Heatsink touching the output plugs" problem. One phase was always shorted so it cogged no matter what. Unless it was geared for like 80mph, then that would be your problem.
