Got the controller and motor together in my XXX-T MF today. I put a 16-tooth pinion on the motor, got things lined up, put the battery in and let 'er rip.
At first, I wasn't very impressed...then I realized I had put in a battery that had false-peaked...DOH!
With a freshly charged 6-cell IB3600 pack it was fun watching the front end pull off of the ground at about 15-20MPH :)
The diff held up for the first pack, but I managed to break something else (see the attached pic). Needless to say, I'm pleased with the power so far ;)

A note for others that may get an MGM controller and use an M8 radio: turn off the ABS brakes BEFORE you try to enter programming mode. :rolleyes:
I was frustrating myself quite a bit before I figured that tidbit out...heh.
