Well, put me in for a dead V2.

This was the replacement for my V1. It worked for about 5 mins and then just stopped. I was doing stop and go driving because I was too lazy to go to the track (good thing I didn't).

Went back inside and plug it into castle link and it armed. Ran it again and stopped after about 10 feet. Plug it to castle link again and this time it didn't arm at all .

This is stock setup, no mods whatsoever.

#3 just quit. No smoke... Just quit...
Running around the street.. It started to act a bit funny.. where it would be running a little forward and it would kind of act like it braked for a second. Did this a couple times and then quit.

Ironically enough.. this was the first time I set ANY of the ESC settings in Castle Link. I turned punch control to 70% and adjust the throttle curve a little less agressive, and of course the LVC to 12.8V.

Did you check you battery voltage after this happened?

Batteries had maybe 5 minutes of use.. Not even enough to warm up the motor over 100.

This is what makes me afraid to change anything.. it's worked so far and I don't wanna eff it up :(

What's the default LVC setting?

I run mine with the auto lipo settings.After balancing my voltage on a 4s was 12.4 volt.I heard that the MMM V2 has a software glitch with custom lvc so I have not set a custom lvc cutoff.Go to the CC website to the download page for details.

I have 3's working V2 now, 2 with more than 1 hour on them & 1 with about 3 hours on it. Out of these, 1 fan broke (blades). I only put 1 good in the poll. No mods.
