The MM seems to be a little finniky about what kind of motor works well. People here have run pretty much any 2 pole motor (Feigao, BK Wanderer, Lehner, Mamba Max motors, etc) with no trouble. However, this ESC doesn't seem to like the Neu motors, although there is suppposed to be a software fix for that in the future (apparently has to do with slotted rotors).

IIRC, someone ran a MM ESC with a large LMT motor on a CEN Genesis and they said it ran fine.

The regular XL motors are definitely a good bang for the buck! If running 14 cells, I'd go with 8XL or preferably 9XL.

By "monster pro", do you mean the Quark 125? If so, the dimensions are listed in the store. Also, you are probably going to want to add more heatsinking to it as it tends to run a little warmer than most ESCs, but the smoothness is VERY nice. There is a heatsink made especially for the 125B in the store, or you can fab your own - it depends on your specific layout really.
