I bought the universal 33 before the pro-car version came out. I really didn't like it. It works OK, but the braking modes are really very limited. I can't remember exactly what the problem was all I remember was I didn't like it enough that I spent the $ to replace it with a Mamba25.

It had something to do with the drag brake settings. If you ran it with reverse enabled you couldn't turn off the drag brakes and they were always at a relativly high setting or something like that. And the only way to turn off the drag brake was to turn off reverse as well.

I would strongly recomend going with the pro-car version for the extra $10.

The universal works for a car, but its not up to the standard that we have all come to expect from a controller. This is why quark came out with the pro-car version. I hear it a verk nice controler, but havent tryed it.

I know this. The Quark 33 can take more punishment than the mamba25. I would thermal the mamba 25 using the same setup that the quark33 had no problem with. I think the heatsink makes a big diference.
