I am running the Medusa 60mm 1500kv motor with 18/40 gearing in an E Revo. Powering this in my setup is the MMM. Very Fast and smooth setup. I couldn't be happier with this ESC.

The Scorpion has the power handling ability, but it doesn't have car mode in the software. You won't have reverse. I've also heard reports that most airplane ESC's lack alot in the braking department.

Alot of setups use mechanical brakes along with a HV Airplane ESC, which appears to make a pretty good setup. But again, No Reverse.

+1 Vote for the MMM. I hope this helps.

ok, but in the spec of the programming of the scorpion puts CAR/B= 1. WITH OUT REVERCE 2. WITH REVERSE, (BRAKE ON PRESET LEVEL ), then the esc is available for car no?

The car scorpion esc is still in development. I'd just go with the MMM. I have one and couldn't be happier. Only the smallest bit of cogging with my 6 pole motor.

Having car settings and car software is two different animals. The settings are simple enough to program however actually having the software designed for car/truck use is another thing entirely. Things like braking, throttle, etc are much more complicated/different in a car/truck versus a plane.

Yeah, even when the scorpion esc is developed I doubt that the braking will be proportional.

BK are yesterdays news and no better than an old newspaper. The MMM is superior on every level, and the CS at Castle is world class.
