Are Zippy Lipos safe with a Castle MMM Speedy?

I also run the same exact packs on the HV110, and use to run them on the little old mamba max on 5S. NONE of those controllers have ever given me a problem and still use them on apps when the MMM dies. Now this controller has gone dead 3 times, I swap in my trusty HV110 or mamba max between service times and magically never have any problems. The only common variable being changed is the MMM. The batteries never change....

You just proved the point... The HV controllers are based on 60V processes -- the Mamba Monster is a 40V process.

If there was a problem that was causing voltage spikes during regenerative braking, the Monster could be damaged BEFORE the HV controllers.

That's why the Monster is rated to 6S and no higher. It can take bus surges to 40V.
