I'm glad you caught the crash. One of my worst nightmares is having the Apex crash and not noticing it. I've had strange things happen, but so far nothing that impacted my tank.

Are you running the latest firmware? If not then I would upgrade it. If the problem happens again then I would try doing a firmware re install. You may have a corrupt install. Note- do NOT try and do it wirelessly as you will most likely brick the unit. It must be done over a wired connection.

It is the most current FW, I updated everything a week ago, I read all about the "brick" issue with wireless updates...everything is running smooth with the MP40wES's now, kewl, high speed feature, I likes.


I was even tempted to try out the new 4.05 BETA FW but I thinks I'll wait for the release version before I start playing around with it again.

Yeah, I hear you there, It's all in place to make things easier...until it fails, I just hope to have enough fail-safes in place before I start to solely rely on it.

I do have the MP40's set as "fallback pulse" that worked in this case...and hooked up to a UPC Batt.bckup just in case the EB8's cave in.
