Modded V1 & V2 long term testing - RC-Monster Forums

RBMike · 03:27 PM

I have 2 working V2's still. The one with the most hours on it (several weekend worth) is one that the fan connector broke off of the first day. I cut the "grill" section out above the fan so the blades could not catch on it & wired the fan to the RX. This V2 has performed flawlessly since I did the mods after the first day. My set-up is 5S, Neu 1512 3d/f,RC8 18/46 gear. The other one only has a couple of hours on it. It still is using the stock fan & connector but I cut the grill out of it. I also carved some clearance in the case around the connector & but I'm thinking of busting the connector off the board on purpose. On both V2's I have put shrink tubing on the big plug sockets to keep them from shorting on the heat sink. I did have 2 earlier V2's fail but they were not modified (failed on the same set-up).

It's good to hear that the V2 are starting to become more stable like what u have. Personally, I think the MMM is a solid controller let down by some auxiliary bits. However, those bits are user repairable.

On with the torture...I mean testing

I had my modded V2 die on me on Saturday. I was running as usual & it just stopped after the double jump. There was no LED & tone. No response when connected to the link either. Sad day

On the other hand, V1 in the buggy still going strong. Depleted another pack on Saturday.

How much for an out of warranty repair ?
