to mod or not to mod

I don't think you should have too do ANYTHING too the MMM too get it working correctly .

It should work the way its advertised too do and thats it , end of story .

Nobody disagrees with you. It should work properly, so you shouldn't have to mod it.

The reality of the situation is that many of us want to band-aid these things until Castle figures out the real solution. The only alternatives are to not run our vehicles, or to spend money on different products, most of which will also need band-aids of some form or another.

If my next one fails, I will choose to mod it so that I can run my truck until Castle resolves the real fix. A slightly modded MMM is still better than anything else I've used, IMO.

Clearly, if you want a product you can rely on, don't get the MMM, I get it.
I had 2 backups, so I was not one of those people. Sure, it is frustrating knowing a product you bought is most likely going to fail.
Have any modded MMMs failed yet?

Just like you guys ideally i would not have to mod the thing to make it work...but if it helps in any way to prevent a failure than i will be willing to try as long as it stays within warranty with Castle..

Guys i'll probably get flamed in the CC thread but with some of you spending the money and frying multiple MMMs why don't you just buy an R1 Pro for a bit more . Just put a 35v capacitor on it and an external bec , the esc is more than capable of handling 4s and works great on 5s and i haven't heard of one failure , heck this little speedy doesn't even use a fan .

I use one but do have a v2 on the way for another project , but the way things are going i think i'll just sell the v2 new and buy another R1 Pro for a bit more or wait for reports on the Losi .

Now for guys wanting to run 6s i can understand but for 5s or lower i don't get why people don't spend the extra $20 on the R1 Pro .

Let the flaming begin.

Hehe I couldn't resist..you are right...or like I mentioned on another thread wait for the RX8. This is a good advise to the guys that needs a working product but we cant guarantee flawless operation. We might see more and more thread saying "my R1 Pro failed or burn"..Just my opinion...peace to everyone...

For me since I have an MMM i rather modd what I have than get another one. Also I would also get an MM if in case I need a new one since it worked for me already and I know it works fine on 5S. Not that I am against Tekin, Jeff (jhautz) has a working modded R1pro and it never gave up on him (so far no to jinx you Jeff )...

i plan on modding my mmm when it gets here. also the teken idea has crossed my mind for the buggy and putting the mmm in the truggy when it shows up but im not sure i have a couple weeks to decide

Great.... Now I'm screwed....

I think the R1Pro is great. My modified one is still running strong with temps cooler than I got with the MMMv1 I was running while the R1Pro was being moded. And with no fans. Even in stock form it handled my buggy with no issues. As long as you dont go to crazy with overpowering it. However I think running a big MT on it might not be a great situation. If that ESC just had a heatsink built in.

Peace Jeff, BTW im also Jeff

But seriously, I know R1Pro handles well thats why I sited your setup as an example (a great one I should say)
