MMM No workie! - 06.08.2009, 02:05 PM

Hi folks! Maybe y'all out there might have a clue as to what happened to my MMM.

Now, I haven't had a response yet...and its fine. Only been a few hours, but like to see what you more experience folks might have some input.

Please see letter I'd sent to CC:

Hello Folks!



I bought your MMM/2200 package from Superfast RC less than a month ago. This is not my first Castle speedos or combo package. Matter of fact, I still have my first BL ESC, a Phoenix 45 prior to LiPo to send to you guys with some fees of course, for an upgrade. I was very tempted to get one of the EZ Run 150 just to try while in my down time…you see, I bought like 600 dollars worth of batteries a week prior so I can drive w/o having to care of recharge for the whole day. I’m sooo sad now.



Okay, back to the no workie part! Initial run was in an E-maxx stock spur with 16 tooth pinion powered by a Fiegao 8-Xl (2030 kv) and 5000 5S Flightmax 25C…no worries. ESC and motor wasn’t even breaking a sweat. I didn’t temp it because it wasn’t even warm.



Yarded the MMM/2200 and 8XL outa the emaxx and put in a Losi LST with the stardard two speed tranny. Again with the 5S Flightmax 25C. Don’t know teeth count right now though, but its stock numbers. I ran a few hours, got a few full speed runs…actually I don’t think I have, I was too scared! I temp the motor during pits..highest I’ve seen was 150 degrees F. MMM fan never kicked in so ESC never got a chance to see 150 degrees.



Yesterday, I finally had a chance to try my new Turnigy 5000 6S 25C LIPO in the LST. Way too fast! I’ve brought it in a few times during the test runs to do motor touch test. Wasn’t even warm. During a wheelies and pop ups…I’ve notice somewhat of a glitch…kinda like power shut off/on…I thought that was odd. It occurred a few more times and finally during a short run in my drive-way …I lost all power and the LST just coasted to a stop. I didn’t see any magic smoke nor smell anything burning. The motor was still cold.



I’ve disconnected/connect power and restart many times…still no good. Switch vehicles with different radios and receivers…still no go.



I’m sooo sad because I have sooo many batteries to drain in my LST but MMM no workie!



Please advise…MMM with snipped batt connector is in box ready to ship to you for inspection.



Thanks,
