Money aside, with CC at least if my MMM goes out I may have to wait a month or two or more, but ultimately they replace. With MGM, I am hearing that it is not as easy since they are out of the country. I am very tempted to try MGM.
I will give my replacement MMM another shot when they arrive, if I have any more problems with them I think I will be giving up. I dont think its my setup because I am using NEU 1515 1.5d and NEU 1512 2.5d on my Losi 8ight Truggy and Buggy respectively. They are powered by NEU 4s 5000mah 25c Lipos. Temperatures for batteries are around 120's, motors are 140's, and ESC's are 130's. All 10 guage wiring througout.
Like I said if I still have problems with v3, I will be giving up on MMM. I may want to try out Losi's Xcelerion System, or maybe just try out the MGM ESC. Lets all keep our fingers cross.

I'm running my 8 E-T with a Neu 1515-1Y and Thunder Power 4S 5000mah Extreme V.2 batteries via an MGM 16025-3 Z series esc and so it's been faultless other than a slight delay in initial throttle response. I'm running the Tekno set up and I shall try running without the clutch spring to see if the delay is mechanical, which I think it is, or if I need to adjust the esc settings.
The MGM is expensive compared to the MMM, and it's commendable that so many on here are so patriotic to an American company. I just decided it was worth the extra to have a truggy that was up and running reliably rather than sit and look at something waiting on the next promise on delivery and reliability.
I hope whatever you do you get sorted and are soon back out there having fun.
