Rtsbasic · **Waterproofing the MGM160/16 -** 09.29.2005, 05:48 PM

I am very very tempted to buy one of these soon to replace my Mtroniks unit (16 cells vs 12 cells, 160 amps vs 100 amps). But I run my car everywhere, even if it involves water, espically since I went brushless since my Mtroniks controller is fully waterproof.

So I'm concerned when I get one of the new MGM's dirt and water are going to get in it (espically with winter coming up). Whats the best way to waterproof them? Anyone tried yet? I don't fancy the idea of pretty much an exposed circuit.

Also am I likely to hit any cogging issues? I'll be running it on as low as 4 cells for touring car racing, and all the way up to 16 cells in my Emaxx project (I know I will need a UBEC for this). So am I likely to get any problems running on low cell counts? And Mike if I order one from your site it will be the version that can "freewheel" for sure?

Thanks guys!

PS. Anyone have any pics of one from the side? Only seen top down views of it.
