Do Not Open Your Cases Anymore

If you got grass wrapped up in the drive shafts would you blame Traxxas for not completely enclosing all of the drive components?

I had that happen to mine. It is part of the risk of bashing. (love those rooster tail of cut grass). If you don't want things to break race on carpet. I just blew it out with canned air.

nah you can still see the blades fine! also you can tell if its running by the fact that there is a busing sound coming from the esc and you can feel hot air coming out of the exit slots. if your missing blades then your esc will be vibrating like a bee! why would you loose blades if you have screen?

I have got to say something here. Castle's CS is second to none from their MM to the MMM V3. They have sent out replacements before the broken parts were even recieved, they answer you promptly, and they price their components fairly. I deny anyone to post a company that has better CS. ANND all of this with major production problems on major components.

well, I accidentally jumped in my pool with my IPhone in my pocket, and they ended up replacing it for free . . . (kind of a long story about HOW I got it replaced for free -- but they did take really good care of me.)

Considering it was COMPLETELY my fault, I think they took real good care of me. (Actually, the REAL story is about the 19 year old girl who was trying to THROW me into the pool... but I digress...)

Did you threaten them with a fully loaded MMM powered vehicle?

Earlier in the thread Patrick was stating in response to my post that he got good cutomer service for his phone.

this is very true! i know this for a fact

Lol we destroyed 2 phones in the same way and another went out the window of the car and was run over by a truck on the same trip a few weeks ago. Fun times, expensive trip.

1) can we see a picture of the new v3 case, as it seems some v3s that people have been sent (replacements for dead v2s) have the same case design as before, and the same bullet connectors; the v3 was ment to have bullets for the motor wires, but just wires for the battery connections I believe...

2) it was freshly mown, wet grass actually Being a public park, and the only place for me to run my truck where I live, I had no choice about the grass being mown just before I arrived. Still, the V1 MMM survived just fine, as did the fan, even though it was stalled the whole run. Some kind of mesh would be nice, but I think people should just put a stocking over the esc to keep out large debris, and still allow airflow; kinky...

[Semi Pro]

the wires in my fan were pinched so bad that the fan wouldnt work, the only reason i didnt send it back is bacause i didnt pay $150 to just turn around and send in my mmm before i ever got to run it, and then have wait 5 weeks or more

my fix for it was an external fan hooked up to my external bec.

you know instead of just saying that the bullets touching the heat sink wount be a problem, wouldnt it just be easyer for castle to install the bullets so that they dont touch the heat sink?

alot of us have just moved them over so im sure it wouldnt be that hard to make them that way?

So should I worry about putting a V3 case on my brand new V2? I've e-mailed Christy @ CC(10-31) and have yet to receive a reply. Don
