I talked to CC yesterday; they have three rigs from people with many blown MMMs, they have been able to duplicate the failures and expected to have solution in a few days. Bottom line, they said it would be about 2 weeks for new ones to be ready.

Nothing specific, just that they were close to solving the issue.

so i wonder if there is gonna be a V3? i sold my v2 on ebay the other day because i'd rather roll twin-v's right now than risk some of the pics i've seen.

I DO really want this controller, cause it's the only brand name i've seen that has this level of customer service. i think even the new tekin only goes up to 5s, right?

i'm building my third e-maxx right now, and I'd love to be able to drop that single motor mount in thinking they've almost got it figured out but i wanna make sure i get one of the ones that is 100% problem free.

Did you check out Mike sale price on the MMM V2s he has in stock. If that dont intice you to get one then nothing will. And you could always send it in later and get it upgraded

The little R1pro will run 6s now with the correct capacitior upgrade. I dont see why the Tekin 1/8 controllerwould be limited to 5s. We wont know for sure untill its released, but all the talk that I recall has been around 6s limits.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Even if they have figured out the BEC issue, I bet it will take much longer than a couple of weeks. I'm not saying this to bash them but if they are making changes to the case, this means new tooling to mold the cases. That alone will probably take a few weeks plus what ever they have to do for the BEC.
