Can anyone help?! Important MMM question.

[blueb8llz]

im sure they read up on threads on here about issues on mmm's. its really up to them if they decide if its really necessary. i know they see the mods that people are doing.
i do hope they fix the switch though.

Nice work. Very clean installation

Yes they do know about the switch. Patrick does read these forums alot.

just got home from racing. went to a new indoor track tonight and it was awesome. much nicer than the usual track i go to. the MMM held up thru 2 batteries without any problems. love the new switch. after the first battery (30 min) the esc was a tad hot so i mounted a 25mm fan and ran the 2nd batt and it stayed very cool. damn, these things provide great fun when they are working. i had a blast tonight.

I'm sure they chose the current switch because it is cheap and helps keep costs lower. That and the stock switches are lighter, and some people are looking to shave as much weight as possible.

Makes sense, but you could have the cheapest, lightest switch on the market but if it isnt reliable, it doesnt do much good.

Lol, I didn't say they were good reasons!
