This is true. I love the look and everything I've read about the mega, but I have an 8xl and am very happy with it. It's strong, fast, and tough. ESC's however, I have much less luck with. I've been through 2 quarks, 1 mgm, and one MM, all fairly recently. :|

The MM is a fine controller, but it's prone to blowing caps. Adding a few caps doesn't hurt, and running a BEC or RX pack will help keep the temps down. Keep a close eye on the temps. They don't thermal soon enough, so you can do some good damage from heat before it turns itself off.
