New MGM controllers (up to 15s!)

I do also know Patrick is working on 8s and 12s controllers as well and they look good so far based on the specs.

The great thing is that this HV market is just warming up and great things or on the horizon for sure.

Just imagine if the US companies had just listened to a certain someone about the HV ESC. I even went as far a begging for the darn thing . MGM does want an arm and a leg for their ESCs though. If MGM can do a 15S ESC that works with cars, why isn't Castle doing one as well? Patrick said his company is big and is probably the biggest ESC manufacturer when you compare to the popular brands. Castle should just make the 20S a car ESC and have the ultimate ESC on the market. Just to think of an F1 running for an hour + with 20S 2200-3300mAh packs with the proper Kv motor (1521/3Y (525Kv), 1521/2.5Y (630Kv), 1527/2.5Y (500Kv) or 1527/2Y (625Kv), maybe even a custom wound 1515 or 1512) .

I just received a MGM type E 28025 with 2fans, hydro version & switch.
Why did i choose MGM ?
The 1st MGM i bought in January had a software mistake in voltage
cutoff. They took it back and update it with new software + possibility
to personnaly update it at home, with nice compensations !!
Since march, the N°1 runs ideal: temp maximum 45°c !!!
Never had a broken fan after 42 packs ( 10 to 15 min ). I bought a 2nd one and they both go PERFECT.
A friend bought a MMM, already broken fan, software problems, weldings going bad and now no more life even with smaller motor in a buggy.
I prefer to go away from defaults.
I like the features of the new MGM version and i own a LOSI 8T that has just been converted for neutron
I made a mistake in the basic programming. Send a mail to MGM and
4 hours later, the answer was there: job done.
Tomorrow, i'll test it HARD

Can't wait to hear how it runs! I always recieve very prompt emails from MGM too. I had emailed back and forth about three times in less than 2 hours one time.

What about acceleration? Is it smooth enough to compare it with MMM?

The new specs seem very tempting, and I need an effecient HV esc.

I only want to run 8s with my 1950/10 in the MBX5T. That would be totally cool...

On my 16024 with the old software, the braking seemed inconsistent and reverse was unusable. It also started out with a launch, no slow starting. After the software update, the brakes were very consistent, not quite as strong as MMM, but that can be turned up. Reverse works perfect, in fact better for bashing than the MMM, you can actually brake in reverse without launching forward. The start up works as good as the MMM (maybe better), and it is nearly as smooth. I won't hesitate to get another MGM if my MMM does not hold up. In fact I may get a new one just for some of the new features. Get one, you won't be sorry!

This is version I think of, not sure if 280 or 160 should buy, waiting for quotation from local dealer to have warranty, please make some movie or at least write how it works on what setup! How much did it cost you? I've just read manual and I AM SO DISSAPOINTED! No current limiter available! That's shame...
