The pheonix is a plane controller, for some odd reason they dont run well in cars, even with mechanical brakes. They are quite easy to smoke, not sure if its a software issue or what. The plane ESCs have short lives in cars.

Can't remember which one it was but someone was using a plane controller for a MT. The controller had stick & pistol compatibility.

I've never tried it myself however...........

I think the mgm can do more than 2 poles.

To my knowledge it can with the newest software.

The MGM can do upto 12 poles AFAIK. What worries me now is their rep.

I think the main problem with using non proven car speedos is cogging. A Kontronik Jazz has a car mode with proportional braking and optional reverse, but apparently it's not as smooth at startup as a proven car ESC like the MGM or BK...

It was a Castle controller. There is a vid of it in the Savage forum on here, I don't remember the name of the poster either.

Thanks! I knew I'd seen one!

Starscream has ran the hv110 by castle. I don't think it was in a savage though.

Do the castles have proportional braking?
