Based on my experience, I am completely surprised by your max current of 240amps! Especially in a medium sized vehicle. My 28lb Baja 5t pulls 215 amps on pavement with NO tire spin. Meaning I am putting all the power to the ground... That is with the 2028 motor on 8s and running the crap out of it hard.

My Brushless E-Revo (more closely realated to a muggy than my 5t) also with an XL2 and a 1518 motor only pulls 106 amps on 6s...ripple is 1.8v with cap pack. And that is running mine wide-open-throttle...all the time really hard!!! So 240 seem really high to me....especially if you are just blipping the throttle. If I were to guess, I would say your motor is malfunctioning which is what caused your MMM2 to fail. Neither of mine cog in anyway shape or form.

Again, That is just my experience. Your current numbers are WAAAAY higher and different than mine and I have been running my baja 5t for about a year now. I was one of the first owners of the Castle Baja Conversion kit with the original Mamba XL ver 1. I would say you have a problem somewhere.

My XL2s are doing great! Lots of fun now.
