MM,
This is part of the last response that I got from Castle,
Quote:
There is NO reason why our ESC's
wouldn't run a different brand 2 pole slotless sintered magnet
motor...that's what the Max motors are and what the software is
optimized to run. I doubt a new ESC is going to help (unless it's using
less efficient/higher resistance components and limiting the current
that way). Whichever way you decide to go (testing a little more or
moving to a different ESC) I wish you luck.

Apparently, he (Joe) doesn't think that going with a different controller will help. I'm inclined to disagree, especially in light of BrianG's post above. It would seem that the Muggy is just stressing that little MM beyond its capabilities. I'm thinking that a "better" controller would know what to do when a lot of current is demanded of the system.
I got my bowtie MTs on today on the Ofna wheels. I'm running 10/46 gearing and even when it does cog a bit, it just takes a split second and then takes off. I'm not stripping spur gears anymore.
