My MMMv3 & 2200 Combo is TOPS!

IMO the problem with the MMM is the end user!!! People that gear their trucks to the moon are bound to have problems. Just because your truck still has the power to wheelie when geared for 60MPH doesn't mean that you can gear it higher! Brushless motors don't have a brain and will work themselves until they become a molten chunk of metal! I have run on 4s, 5s, & 6s and never geared for more than 50MPH. When I was geared for 50MPH I had quality batteries, 6s, and a quality motor with a proper kv rating for running 6s. Stop listening to Traxxas and HPI and start listening to the knowledgeable members on here. Sure a Revo or flux can do 60MPH....under ideal circumstances! Quality 6s Lipos, proper gearing, smooth drivetrain, and a smooth throttle finger. Gearing for 40-45MPH and running 6s will get better temps, longer life of the system and you'll still have a grin from ear to ear!

Sorry for my rant but I'm tired of hearing how peoples MMM died in their 15+lb truck geared for 50+MPH

Mine's still going strong, too. It's one of the few remaining V1s with the V3 case and latest software, running 5S Elite 35C LiPos and geared for about 60mph. I know, that sounds high...but my Havoc is only 2WD, and lighter than most other 1/8th trucks (plus, I would've struggled to fit a smaller pinion!).

Fact is, the motor has never exceeded 140F even on a 30C day, and even though the fan is always on (being a V1), the best temp reading I could get wasn't more than 120. This is with punch control disabled, timing at low and brakes at 35%. And using the interal BEC with an Ace DS1015 servo...which really draws some current.

I absolutely LOVE it.
