10 push ups everytime you have a craving...you must be on the ground a lot...

I ran my 13lb, 8XL/4s/Monster powered Savage this weekend and went through 2 4900mah packs of very hard bashing with no problems (knocks on wood). So far, so good!

I got my 5 minutes of thrills out of my Monster today. It just quit working like most of the rest. It is super smooth, no cogging, and I can even start out at a crawl, unlike my MGM that just seems to launch right up speed. Best thing is, my truck now (or did while it lasted) has reliable reverse, unlike the MGM, which I finally had to disable reverse on. Darn, now I have to wait on the mail again.

Mine Monster died after 12 minutes of driving. It was so nice and smooth, 1515/1y 3s maxamps 5000 x2, stopped for 30 seconds to check temps and before I got the IR gun out *poof* smoked. Unplugged the lipo quickly and sent it in last Friday.. Got a call today from Castle that they cant fix it, it wont pass the test to be returned to me, and they dont have any to send to me. They will apparently be making another batch in the middle of June and I will be sent one from that batch when they are completed. I always get the short straw lol c'est la vie, was fun while it lasted

That sucks, but you are a cretinous noob, so what do you expect? At least you caught it before it cooked anything else.

hahaha !!! good one.. guess its no0b initiation torture to stare at your truck wishing it ran

Linc,

You never fail to crack me up. I'm interested to see what happens with the next batch, and still glad I waited :).

So many of us were begging to beta-test the MMM. So many were turned down. It appears we could have saved CC a ton of money and trouble. Maybe next time.

Mine died Sunday after about 80 too 90 minutes of run time. It gitched a couple of times & then just stopped. It was not hot at all. My set-up is Nue1512 3D, 6S A123's & 14/46 gearing in a buggy. Sent it in on Monday morning. Hope it's fixable.
