Ofna Hyper ST Conversion!

Got the castle programming to work. Plugged the balanced and charged 5s into the MM- instant toast. MM is dead. Completely. Now, need to wait for the MMM to re-release.

That sucks... Sorry dude...

[BL_RV0]

Yeah- hopefully it is really late july. We'll see.

[Takedown]

So tell me what exactly happend to make it just randomly poof...?

[BL_RV0]

Well, I was plugging in the battery, instant smoke. Before I could even get the battery all the way plugged in. I have no idea what caused this.

Odd my MM took 8S by accident and did nothing - I plugged it in twice before I realised I was using the wrong adapter...

Still runs fine... Normally the MM has good over voltage protection - You might need to check your wiring before plugging another one in...

[BL_RV0]

Even if my wiring was wrong, there's nothing I can do.

Teeny update:
Just got notification from TD that the MM is going out today.

[Takedown]

Ya, Ill see if I can get it shipped here within the next couple of hours.

[Arct1k]

The one that went up in smoke or a new one?

[BL_RV0]

New one. Other one (smoked as of now) will be sent into Castle in a couple days and will be for the MBX4-RR.

I don't feel like starting a whole another Hyper ST thread, so I'll just throw a couple pics of mine up here. Currently it has my old 8XL and my MM from my CRT.5 currently powered by 4S 5Ah TrueRCs. Plan is to change over to a MMM and a Neu 1515 2.5D and adding a cell to the batt for 5S. I can ditch the BEC and the extra wires for the fan and the bec power supply then as well and clean up more. I have it geared 12/46. On the mashers tonite I was pulling 45-46 mph on radar. A bit too fast for the track. Here's to the MMM coming out soon.

BTW.. I don't know why the paint looks sparkly. Its insanely humid out, must be water droplets. I also already managed to lose a wheel nut and had to use a spare Lots of loctite on that one. :)

I prob am, def even more so in the F under WOT due to the light fluid in the diff. I admit it was much higher than I expected, but I ran it several times back to back with the radar gun and it was consistantly 45-46mph.
