Let me tell you dude... the MGM and the BK 9920 has outlasted "ALL" of my shulze controllers(except the 40.160WK).. I only have an 18.129 left... and it's in it's 4th time for repair... I will try to get a store credit or refund... it's just ridiculous... schulze gave every excuse...
loose contact (could be anything)
motor wires too long...
battery wires too long...
connectors worn out...
etc... (they're full of BS)

I do agree a loose contact on the motor side will fry the esc.... I've done this on my air plane accidentilly... I think anyone who's owned a schulze has fried atleast one... :)

I think Leroys the only one who hasn't fried one...Then agian, he has fried every other kinda controller...

And me,i've got a 18.97 that's seen 18 months good service,it's even been for a swim.Seems there are good ones and bad ones,some of them set on fire soon as you look at them,others seem reliable.It's the poor customer service/lack of warranty after buying a supposedly high-end product that sucks.They try to cover themsleves in every way possible in the instructions it seems.They need a better/updated LVC too,it's too low,that's what i like about the MGM,the LVC is excellent and it's manual set for cell count,which i prefer to auto detect.

I'm back BTW! :027: Did anyone notice i was gone?Had a little break from RC.
Got a new pup,it's like a full time job,i'm knackered.Here she is...

1. Yes, I actually noticed you hadn't posted for a while
2. What the hell is knackered? lol
3. Thats a nice puppy! How old is she?

You guys are making me shiver with fear!!!
My Schulze controller did short because of my hasty behaviour.
I should save for a MGM 16024 as well.
Marc, please give us a report on your MGM controller and welcome to the forums, BTW.

Cool puppy!!

Group hug... where have you been.. LOL

Hi there,

i crashed my emaxx today on fence a post, the left rear link of my UE racer´s suspension was destroyed, shocks and alu rim heavily bent.

the left rear suspension got caught on the fence post with about 70km/h.

NOTHING ELSE WAS DAMAGED.

UE stuff is realy top. The rim is ready for trash...

My MGM controller will hopefully arrive this week... than i will rebuild my rear suspension (i am waiting for the parts) and the show will go on!

:027:

BTW: The maxx is really fast with 22cells, big maxximum 15/68. To fast for my driving skills supposedly...

I want to build a "T-Car" Maxx this winter so i can crash two cars on one day in the future... ;)

One question to you specialists:

Which roll cage is a good choice for an extended chassis? The new era cages are good, i have a titan roll cage but only in stock lenght, the extended version is not longer in production.

I am DEFINITELY NOT GOING to drive a maxx that is heavy as tank without a cage... If my maxx comes down on the big maxximum this would be a desaster.

Which cages do you prefer?

Do you guys know why the extended lightning chassis is not longer in production?

If the questions are off topic in this thread, the mods please let me know and i will open a new thread.

Marc.

Knackered means very tired/exhausted in this part of the world,also can say creme crackered,ryhming slang for knackered......nevermind,i'll shut up. LOL.

Pup was 8 weeks in that picture,2 weeks ago,it's a Cairn terrier,i've got 3 terriers,voracious wee beasties they are.

Serum,nice socks! i think they're rather dashing i must say.


Edit;Roll cages,i'm not a fan of heavy stiff cages,i prefer to just use a proline body,seems to be plenty of protection to me,i use some expensive motors too and have never damaged one in a crash.However if you feel the need for a cage i'd recommend building a delrin cage as the most practical solution,enough give in it to absorb energy.Not the prettiest on a nice shiny truck though.Or maybe a simple aluminium roll bar to protect the motor without adding much more weight.
