Well I wish I knew what to say. It's really hard to put my finger on it... just when I think the MM/Neu is too much trouble, I go out and have a good time racing with it will just a minor amount of cogging. I almost forgot all about it and was just racing whcih was nice. That was with the same MM that has been in my CRT from day one.

I don't recall any time where I put the car down and watched it stutter enough for anyone to notice... it just always "worked".

But then after the races were done I went back out and messed around a few laps... I remember jumping the triple in front of the drivers stand (no double-single in practice :)) and rolled it. A kid flipped me ove and when I tried to go I got that massive cogging where it actually kicks backwards.. couldn't get it to go. So I just called it a day... we were in a hurry to get home 3 hours for me.

So I'm back to being really confused about the whole thing. It's the dead of winter here, or I would be out running it in the yard, etc for more testing.

In the CRT, it has always been pretty consistent in the cogging dept... I get a very subtle cogging maybe half the time, and a noticable stutter like 10-20%, and bad stutter less than like 5%.

On the track it has rarely been a problem becaue there aren't many times you are stopped. So the odds are in your favor.

There is also a rare occasion when I have seen it "cog" while moving... possibly the same glitch in the system that I have seen with the stock MM in my 1/10 cars. It has a bad "glitch" and then keeps running. That happened once during the races last weekend.

It's hard to give up on the MM due to the great software programing and the great feel of the system. My Mtroniks Truck works pretty well but it doesn't feel as smooth. My old MGM 120 hasa great throttle and start-up but the brakes are absolutely HORRIBLE.

I have yet to try a Quark... I guess I am giving CC the benefit of the doubt that they will fix the MM soon enough. Still no word on the update...

BTW, the Monster sounds like it will be summer rather than spring. Of course CC doesn't say much about it but it sounded like there won't be anything until late spring at the earliest. I think they have too many irons in the fire right now and the MMM isn't priority #1. That's the only logical reason why they don't have it out already.
