What controller should I use?
 
Hello everyone. I just bought an e-maxx 3905 and Im going brushless. I have a Nemesis Blue 11XL motor. I am planning on running my setup w/ 6s lipo (two
3s packs wired in series). My question is what controller should I get, either a Quark Monster Pro 125b or a MGM Compro 16018. I really like the fact that the Quark is very smooth so I've heard but I know it can be trouble on 6s lipo. The MGM sounds good except for it going into reverse at slow speeds instead of the brakes. Should I get a different motor altogether and run 5s w/ the Quark or run 6s w/ the MGM and the 11XL I already have? Also, how does the MGM perform on 6s? If anybody can give some ideas/opinions form experience it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Todd

i just got a mgm and i'm running 6 cell a123. a little bit less voltage, but its doing fine. i haven't had any of the reverse problems at all. the only thing i haven't worked out yet is my breaks at high speeds. i haven't turned them up much, but at the present setting the faster i'm going the less it breaks, although the breaks get progressively stronger as i slow down.

So do you think 6s on the MGM16018 with an 11XL would be a good setup for my new Maxx? I just don't want to spend loads of money on a setup and not be happy with it.

i do not no much about the MGMs, but i do know that a lot of quarks do not like to work with 6s even though quark says it can work with 6s.

Some quarks do work on 6s (like mine), others have had problems.
The 11xl should be good on 6s.

So the MGM Compro 16018 should run fine on 6s lipo with an 11XL? Anything I should be aware of before buying that controller?
