Design Flaw...

[VintageMA]

This may be a design flaw in the MMM, but it is not the root cause of all the problems the MMM is having.

It doesn't explain the people (me included) who have had a V1 or V2 go poof right out of the box after setting up with receiver and never getting any road time.

I did a little research and it seems the batch of components Castle used in V1 and V2 had frequent occurrences where the physical casing of the individual surface mount components was made too thin. So, all that was needed was a little jarring (maybe weakened during shipping), or even a change of atmospheric pressure to cause the smoke to break through the thin shell. And we all know once the smoke leaves, no workie no more.
