Final decision Quark 125B vs MGM 16cell 160A
 

Need to make final decision between controllers for 8XL motor with 14-16cells (do not plan to increase the cell count)

they cost about the same and i just realized that the MGM is a Czech company which would simplify service

The Quark would be my choice, but the MGM is quite good as well. However, you'll get smoother operation out of the quark.

I like my MGM. With your setup you can run it without a fan. I also like the replaceable motor and battery leads. Saves trouble when you constantly abuse your truck!

I've had both, the Quark will overheat without modifacation, the MGM wont but is a real pain to program (unless they have come out with the PC progaming upgrade) and has poor instructions. The Quark is smoother, the MGM more adjustable. I like the Mamba Max the best but it is limited to 4s lipo and 14 cells NIHM if you run a BEC. It also cogs the most at startup. I ran mine for a few high speed passes on 16 cells with no problems but wouldnt advise it. It is also less than half the price of the other controllers:018:

thx i just ordered
Neu 1512/2.5D
Quark 125B
5mm mod1 pinion 14T,16T and 18T

and i have already coming HB diffs + hybrids

cant wait to see faces of nitro guys I go bashing with once in a while :)

Good choice. Great stup. You'll like it for sure.:027:

i have quark have yet to use it but man i can tell you it looks good and there is a LOT of stuff it can do also it has an great warranty

Cant wait till it gets here. hopefully all the stuff arrives next week

you will like the hb diffs and hybrids but you need a set of bearngs for the pinion for all of them to work 4 bearings actually to accomidate the bigger pinion size.

well i ordered 10 bearings so 2 should be as spare - 4 per diff if i am right

edit//just recieved diffs and they already have 2 bearings so i will actually need just 4 bearing for the pinions
