hobbywing ezrun 150A vs Mamba monster

[fastbaja5b]

I recall when I ran a X1CR buggy with a Medusa 36-60-2000 on 4s, the HW 80A speedy felt a LOT faster than when I ran the MMMV3, and I made sure everything was set up alike.

Now hearing more and more failures with the MMMV3 and yet to hear of a HW speedy failing, is it worth my while ditching the MMM from the flux and putting in a HW150 speedy just so my set up is reliable?

I too have read a lot of failures with the MMMV3. I still wouldn't say it's worthwhile for you to swap your MMM for a HW150 yet though. If your MMM fails, then pick up the HW150.

Regarding the program card, there's 2 program "boxes" available from HW for the 80A/150A ESCs. One is the simple card that has 12 programmable settings (this card is different than the one used on their 60A and lower ESCs, which only has 11 settings). The other is a program box that has a digital display and connects to a PC with a similar UI as Castle Link. It allows for more programming like custom LVC settings, throttle and brake curves, etc.

So far, I've been very impressed with my 60A, 80A, and 150A HW EZRun ESCs. So far, my motors are doing good. I have the SL3674 and SL3665, but I haven't had much runtime on them yet. I only run them on 3s or 4s, so hopefully they'll last a while. I don't plan to run them on higher voltage, which so far has been a common factor in the HW motor failures.

I think the HW150A with a Medusa would be insane!
