i have recently built a Losi 8 Tekno RC brushless conversion with a 1515 1.5F. I started with a MMM which died after 15 minutes of running. So i talked to the guys at Tekno RC and they recommended i run the MM with a BEC, which is what they all run apparently. So i hooked that up yesterday and had it on 5 minutes when i gave it a little juice the ESC blew up and send flames and sparks 3 feet in the air past my head.
Close one! So now i have on another MMM that is modded this time with the fan removed and the top casing cutoff so the heatsink is exposed to stay cool. I ran that last night in races all night and it has held up so far. Stayed cool to the touch without the fan still. Anyway, I have heard good things about the MGM ComPro controllers and Mike gets some in real soon but I just saw an ad in RC Driver today about Novak's HV Pro that is completely redesigned and for 1/8 brushless conversions. Does anyone have any experience with this ESC? I am going to be building a 1/8 truggy brushless and want the best ESC out there. is this new Novak worth considering or should i just go straight to the MGM?
