WHAT!?!?!?!?!
What were the symptoms?
Mine did that also. It fried gradually.. It was a bad refurbished unit...
Silence is the best thing to drive someone crazy.
If 3 out of 5 persons "suffer from diarrhea" does that mean 2 out of 5 enjoy it?
In memory of Rachel, I will beat up my cars on May 17th.
It was a brand new unit... I just started my run, 15c outside temperature and it just stopped.. Like the on/off switch was flicked. Couldnt believe it.
Sounds stupid, but cut the switch and check if the switch has gone bad. That could happen. Happened to me.

Im thinking the internal BEC blew... Seems the only feasible cause..
Like I said, check the switch first!!!!!

Ok...
Well checked the on/off switch and its not that. Theres deffinately something blown internally, as the battery dosent even spark when it get connected to the Controller. Just going to cut off my leads and send it in.
Contacted castle, they told me to talk to there support deparment as repairs dosent deal with this stuff..
If it's 'dead' like that then Repairs can't really talk you through any fixes- Support can offer trouble shooting steps but I think it's safe to say nothing will work that you haven't already tried really- got to send it in again ( they may send you a pre-paid mailer for it if you ask nicely )
Well i havent heard from them since last week. So im playing the waiting game again.
just ordered one of these, crossing my fingers i have a good experience. I did with my 1st one (which never died on me, was sold with a truck)
HPI Baja
8ight E~4s Lipo~Xcelorion 1300kv~ Mamba Max Pro
Losi 810e~4s Lipo~Losi 2100kv~EZ Run HK 80a ESC
I loved my MMP, just not sure why it went out on me sooo fast.. I just sent castle another email... Im hoping to get my truck running this season.
Good luck with them. I sent in my MMM on February 6th with payment info if needed and received an invoice from them with everything on it. I contacted them after 3 weeks of hearing nothing from them. After a few days I received an e-mail from a person asking for a receipt where I bought the ESC so i would not have to pay for repairs, because it was a warranty issue. I sent them a receipt the next day, waited over a week and heard nothing back so I emailed them asking what was up. Three days later i finally get an e-mail back saying they are backed up and it would be a 4-6 week wait from the day they received it. After another 2 weeks of waiting with no info out of them I e-mailed them again. After a couple of days another person responded back asking for payment info, and saying it would not be covered. I proceeded to rip them a new one in an e-mail stating 1. They made me send a receipt saying that it was covered under warranty now they are saying it isn't 2. They already had payment info, in fact i had an invoice from them with it on it and, 3. I sent them the thing 2 months ago and they are just now attempting to do repairs/replacement. Needless to say they changed there tune asked me to resend my receipt, and yesterday I finally received a replacement. I am extremely unhappy with Castles support.

Fired off another email today to the repair department.. Im gettting really fed up.
Yep, sounds like my situation. It would take them 3 days to get back with me. They have horrible customer service.
I think I may have to rethink my pending purchase of a MMP now. What happened to Castle customer service?
P.S. Where did all my old posts go?
Maybe a server glitch?
And yea, really not happy with their customer service.
It seems like their customer service has been going down the tube lately....

Must be all the MXL2 frying...
