I am personally not a fan of the 9920. I had one I had trouble with, and was not particularly impressed with the contruction. It is not enclosed, so there are a number of small electronic bits to break off if you are not careful. Plus if you do is a long repair time having to sent it back to Germany. Plus, from all the accounts I've read, the 9920 is not nearly as smooth as some of the newer escs like the Quark or the MMax. I can def say the MM is very smooth and is nrealy cog-free. I can nearly crawl with it. The real advantage of the 9920 is high voltage. It is the only setup that can reliably run 6s. The quarks should, but several here have had mixed results above 5s...

The greatest thing about the MM is that it is completely programmable by usb/computer. You don't have to do this, but is really neat if you want to adjust all sorts of custom settings. Plus CC is in the USA and has legendary customer service if something ever does go wrong. Running above voltage specs is not covered under warr, but as mentioned, the CC engineer said it can techically be done, and many others inc myself have confirmed it.

You have to disable the BEC but pulling the middle wire pin from the connector and run a ubec. Ubecs can be found for as little as $15 if you are not planning high voltage, but will required whatever setup you use. A samll fan is also needed for extra cooling. My esc stays below 125F.

If you are looking to run no more than 4s/14cells then the MM is what I would get. Its only ~$165, where as the 9920 is ~$190 and the Q125 $280. Id rather put that $120 into a better motor like a neu or LMT. 5s/16cell+ ==> quark, mgm or equiv.

The only heat concern I am having is from teh motor (8xl.) A neu/ lmt will run cooler and could poten be geared for a bit more speed. Overall I am very pleased with my setup.
