I may have a problem with my MMP. I swapped in the MMP in my Revo conversion, using a Tekin 2000kv on 4s. It ran beautifully with the MMM. But when I put the MMP in, it just sits there and jerks and jitters. A video below:

I've tried 3 different motors with the MMP and all do this. I've tried a couple different setting and different firmwares but no luck.

Bad esc or help?

I updated to the newest Beta Firmware, and now my MMM won't receive any settings, nor will it arm by itself. The red light is very very feint, and is flashing. Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to send this back? I'm hoping I can force some sort of reset? Anyone know?

Btw...when I try to go backwards in Firmware, I get an error that says it didn't install properly. Basically my brains are messed up. Also, it seems that my software can READ my settings, but nothing else.

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason,

Call tech support -- they should be able to help you out. Usually a second *forced* download will fix the issue.

Thanx!

I'll do that. However, I went back to v1.21 which isn't beta, and it works again. I tried incrementally going up to the newest beta version, and that seems to be the problem. My ESC doesn't want anything to do with Beta versions for some reason. I was able to get v1.27 installed, but couldn't get it to send any changes to my ESC. I wasn't able to get v1.28 or 1.29 to install at all. I have two more Mamba Monsters here that I can try, to see if it's just this particular one or not.

P.S. To be honest.. the only reason I want to try these beta versions... is to see how that Torque Control feature works. So, if that's not working for anyone, then perhaps I'll just stick with v1.21 since I'm not having any problems with my MM.

P.M.S - My lipo shut off is set to 3.2v. I'm running a Marinepower 6s pack, which has been amazing. Just want to double check that 3.2v is ok.

UPDATE: Didn't need to call CC. I did a series of magic tricks, special stunts, and ancient tribal movements, and managed to get it to take hold of and work with Beta v1.24. I then tried my other MM, which was already on v1.24, and it really didn't want to work with anything other than that either. So, I'm feeling a bug... and I'm going to hold off until v1.30.

1.21 or 1.24 are good versions, never had any issues so I've stuck with those on my two MMMs- moderating your throttle finger ~= torque control anyway...

I called Tech support, Thomas said sounds like 1 phase of the MMP went out. I'll send it in for repairs.

Hello, firware update the beta is running smoothly?
I have wanted to test the torque control, but I like to have technical problems while I'm at the other end of the map.
Far to send to service ...
Greetings.
