I need to get the new radio because MGM says that there wasn't anything wrong with my Compro. They are blaming my problems on the Spektrum, so I'll have to see.

Thats wierd. I just set up my MGM 160-24 with spektrum and didnt have any problems.

I did have a probem with mine onlyu beeping when I plugged it in, but I figured out that the 160-24 doesnt have a BEC built in an when you unplug the red middle red wire it just doesnt work. Once I plugged in the center wire, it was all good.

Yeah, I am going to cut a larger hole on the other side of the heatsink, there is only a small hole there now. I am sure that has something to do with it, and the fact that the stock thermal pads plain suck... I need to get that heatspreader clamp from my machinist, waiting.... :025:

But yes, no blow ups yet!

SMHertz dog, do both the top and bottom FET's on your heatsink get to the same temp? Maybe it's not touching some of the FETs?

AAngel, I have been playing around with the radio last night and with all the EPA and stuff, and got almost all low speed capability back now, but still not what it was, there isn't near as much travel in the spektrum, I like more travel. (throttle trigger)

Now if there was only a way to test high voltage before I get the Neu 3D.

Yes.

I used artic ceramique on the fets/angle on both boards/angles, but I used heat tape between the chassis and the angle maybe thats were the bottle neck is?
The chassis measured from under the truggy in the area were the angle is bolted measures 125 f.
