Well Ron, i have got all reasons to do so, since i was told at the most arrogant way that i made an error, an error in my choice of plugs, these plugs where adviced by them to use, i asked them by email if the plugs i used where okay, which where okay according to them, later i heard i could buy a new 1897 with a too good to be true 25 percent discount..

After about 20 emails going back and forth (he even tried accused me of machining the plugs) he decided i could have one for free, since he admitted i used the plugs he advised me. it still had a ~35 euro 'investigation' costs..

Rock on..

If you call it a matter of personal taste if i don't like being treated that way, I don't get that? I am on the mission of helping people take a setup that is durable and not being backed up with the worst service in the world.

So yeah, keep away from schulze, that's my advice and i am not the only person on this world/forum who has got a bad experience with their service so i guess it's not an isolated case either.

You have got good experiences with schulze because you haven't burned one. You never needed their dark side called 'service' or 'warrantee' i only know of 1 case in which the controller was replaced for free.

Castle has been nice and good to me. i smoked 2 controllers, one was a weird programming issue, it was replaced within 4 business days, the other was my own misstake and was replaced in 3 business days for 25 bucks, including shipping. That's the service you need with controllers..

I am not saying anything wrong about the schulze chargers.

got me talking about schulze makes me realize that i recently smoked a receiver of schulze (the Berg thingy) it was 2 months old, ofcourse i needed to pay for the repair.. 15 or 20 euro for something that should be warranteed. channel 2 stopped working.

Sorry, but don't get me started about schulze.

Boats are a complete different load for the controllers than our trucks are. Appearantly schulze hasn't got it all figured out yet.

They make smooth controllers for a relative high price, but their service is the joke of the year.

Their support is more than okay; they answer emails on sunday as well, but don't come to them with a smoked product..

hi

just to make it clear. i am not a schulze fan boy. the only thing i am stating is that i doubt that schulze controllers fail on systematically basis more often than other esc. but as there is no way to proof that or the contrary. so we have to leave it at subjective experience which is usually mixed. empirical data on this is simply missing and some posts in forums are of course not a reliable data basis.

anyway. back to topic. i would recommend to send the esc to schulze and see what happens. as there is quite a high probabillity that they offer you a new one with 35% discount you either buy a 18.97 again. then i would either reduce voltage to 4s or put a bigger fan on the esc or try to watercool it.
otherwise i would probably go with a quark monster pro as this esc works great with the plettenberg. you have to put some fans on this esc too.

are the mgm actually working with the plettenbergs?

MGM claims to work with any motor available and the list plettys in supported motor list

thats wrong approach cooling ESC to help it survive the load. You should use ESC that can handle the load with just heatsinks

The problem I see is that schulze does not mention anything about not using their controllers in heavy trucks like Sky Technology says about Quark. i knew that i can have some issues in my heavy maxx so i moded my quark and now I am happy

Schulze ESC are very expensive and they should perform accordingly

Yeah, the MGM work with the pletties, Don't get me wrong; i do like the smoothness of the schulzes, but there are smoother controllers available (such as the quarks) it's not the functionality that's got a big questionmark on it.

The new MGM controllers have got an onboard BEC (switching type) are capable of 120A continues, programming card option, and only cost 180 euro.

not bad considering they are a 6S with LVC and UBEC integrated. :)

nice to know the mgm work with the pletties.

however concerning the smoothness i have somewhat different experience. comparing the monster pro with a plettenberg maxximum and the 18.97 with the same motor in the same car the latter was noticeable smoother at very low rpm. not that i would matter for bashing. :-)
