GD, I did replace all of my wiring with 12 ga. wire.

MM, I used the noodle wire too. It worked out nicely. The holes in the MM PCB are large enough to easily accommodate the 12 ga. wire.

I really do think that there is something to the resistance issue with the MM in 1/8 scale applications. With my first MM (the one I beat up and tore to hell) I wound up having to replace the wiring and all I had was the 12 ga. noodle wire, so that's what I used. My next upgrade was to the 6mm connectors. When I did the Monster GT conversion, the whole setup went into the MGT. I ordered a new MM for my buggy and installed it in its stock form. I didn't notice it before (probably due to inexperience), but the MGT runs as smooth as butter, but my buggy is having a tad bit of a cogging problem. Nothing even worth mentioning, but it's there. The only difference between the setup in my MGT and my buggy is the wiring, since I have 6mm connectors on both.

I've also noticed that my buddies 8ight, cogs a bit too. His is setup with the stock wiring and 4mm connectors. I'm going to do everything in 12 ga. and 6mm connectors and see what happens. I have my friends buggy with me because it started cogging really bad tonight. It turns out that one of the 4mm connectors is really loose now. Egged the female end at the track so that we could keep running, and it got better, but the problem is still there.

This is something that I'm going to start paying attention to.
