Wow, just for giggles I downgraded my firmware to 1.24 (oldest available) and cogging is much, much less barely noticeable much like what it was with my old MMM!!! Its funny because the logo on the castle link now says "Mamba Monster" instead of "XL" but logging is on there. I quickly looked at the very short log of just tooling around my garage and the max amps was 58, but my ripple was 10%!!! However, my batteries were on the cooler side maybe 60 degrees and partially discharged...not quiet storage level, but definitely not fresh off the charger.

Why the hell does the newest firmware cog more?? I didn't try any of the other beta firmwares.

What's funny is this was the same deal with the 1717 and my MMM... old 1.21 worked best??

Will do more testing, but with that ripple my batteries do look like they need to be replaced. Otherwise, huge wheels and all I think it will be ready for a "real" run when I get my batteries...might start off with truggy wheels and same gearing, then stock muggy wheels, then the big Cen wheels to see how much of a difference big wheels and tires makes.
