Any problems?

This is the MMM V2 BTW.

I have ran it for maybe a combined time of 3 hours and I haven't had a single problem yet.

I can't seem to get the temps of the speed control above 110F no matter how hard I run it either. I've had nothing but good luck!

Just doing some running in my front and back yard yesterday. I really want to make it to a track, thats all i'm going to say.

Temps were

MMM: 100F
1512 2.5D:140F
Lipo(4S Zippy 5000):105F

My lipo's always seem to run slightly hotter than they really should. Is it an MMM setting I should change or what? I charge the lipos with the equinox balancer in interface mode, and I still get these high temps. The packs feel a little soft after the runs too.
It doesn't make sense as these packs are not very old and haven't been ran much at all. If they are sitting around for more than a week I will balance charge them.
Is it time for new packs?


Well anyways upon running, and keeping in mind i'll be racing this winter, I think I want to step up to 5S and gear lower.

I am going to say that the MBX-6 has performed flawlessly. It seems like the drivetrain has loosened up quite a bit and it is very smooth now. But I do hear a "squeeky" noise coming from the front somewhere when the wheels spin, I can't find out where it is coming from. But there is no binding, so it might just go away. Could be a bearing, but I doubt it.

Put some juice on that squeak.
