Yesterday I hit a new PB of 119mph with the MM2 Retro ESC, but it died shortly after. I believe it already destroyed my 2400kv motor. I sent it in to Castle today for them to take a look at it.
So, I needed to throw an ESC in there to make a pass, so I stole the MMX8S out of the Typhon 6S. I ended up picking up 2mph on my PB with the ESC swap. But even more importantly the MMX8S runs my motor so much cooler. My normal motor temp after a single pass is usually in the 130F-140F range. Yesterdays pass came in at 140F and it was 91F outside. Today's same pass came in at 105F and ambient temps were 86F. We are talking about a 35F difference with just an ESC swap. Amazing. I am not sure I want that MM2 Retro back from Castle. Maybe they will allow me to trade up to another MMX8S.
Video will be uploaded later tonight.
