wow. ok, so your power wires are safe but the motor ones could short? as sike pointed out ours are the other way round. oculd this be the fatal error? would be an easy fix... make the heatsink have smaller cutouts :)

could that cause the instant failure??? short for a brief moment which cooks something and everything seems cool?

I was able to get shrink tubing over mine.

How much space does yours have between the heat sink and the plugs? On mine, I would be able to do that as the plugs seems to be touching the heat sink as seen in the pictures.

Yes, I am, but you have to wait until I get an answer from the ones who said they were going to buy. Who posted the 10S in the Traxxas forum

?

i think if castle hadnt spotted this issue then something is seriously wrong... im just going to keep using mine as its been like that from the start and it hasnt been an issue... dont haunt me now!

There is a coating on the heatsink. When it wears out next to two of the motor wires or the +/- wires, that's a short. Potential flames.

Luciano, you better start ordering some more. You will be getting an influx of buyers shortly

.

I'm hoping to receive my 6S today so I can run it as hard as I can this weekend

Sounds good Lito. I'll see as I'm waiting for more members to post some feedbacks about them. I'll be contacting the factory soon to see if they can do something special for us power hungry guys.

Regards,

Luciano.

hi

i opened up my mmm. and the heatsink is touching the motorplugs exactly like in the pics from lutach. i will obviously not use the esc until i have solved that problem. pretty sure this was one of the major sources of problems with the mmm so far.

bye

You could replace the bullet connectors with wires. But de-soldering those bullets is a major PITA, especially when they touch the HS... been there. Drilling them off is amother option.

I gave up. I thought I ruined my MMM by getting it too hot trying to get the connectors to de-solder. I ended up Dremelling a sliver of the connectors off at the point that they make contact with the heatsink. I then soldered the connectors into the partial connectors. I had about 30 minutes of track time this past weekend with no trouble. I'm also using an Rx battery/regulator and about 8 other MMM mods.
