Just got back in from a quick bash-type run with my Hyper 8: MM Neu 1512/2.5D, 4s Lipo, 4 extra 35v 3300uf low ESR caps, geared for ~35mph (14/46). In all honesty, I just about couldn't get it to cog with the new software. From stop to any throttle position, the MM got it right every time. I then pushed the MM backwards to ~5mph, and grabbed a lot of forward throttle. About 80% of the time the MM stopped the buggy quickly, and shot it forward without anything I'd call cogging. The other 20% was only minor cogging, but was still MUCH better than the previous software version.

This run was done WITHOUT a heatsink (it popped off last night), and after roughly 4mins of some rough bashing on grass the top FETs were maybe 90 deg. F, with ambient being about 60 deg. F.

Too bad for Quark, I strongly believe the MM is now extremely capable of running Neu motors (and I thought it was prior to the update).

If the front axle on my crawler weren't broken, I would comment on how the Mamba 25 runs an outrunner compared to before.
