MGM 16016 + 7XL Good combo?

[BP-Revo]

I would get an MM ESC instead. No need spending extra money on an expensive controller when the MM can do the same job just fine.

BP has a good point but with MGM you will have more tolerance to heat,much tougher controller.Either will work fine but if I can afford the extra bucks I willl go for the MGM but one clear advantage of the Mamba Max controller is the ability to hook it over to the computer and easier to adjust.Have fun!!

I've considered the MM. I believe that a true 1/8 controller like the Quark or MGM 160 is better than the MM. A MM + Neu combo could obviously be an option. I'd need a UBEC with the MM, but wouldn't the MGM be fine without one?

There are just too many ways you do this. To many combos of esc+motor. And too many opinions :confused:

Expect issues with the Neu and MM setup. There are quite a few reports of bad cogging with this combo. The MM apparently does not like Neu motors yet. There was a rumor of a software fix, but I think CC is too busy on the MMM to devote time to tweaking software to support a motor the ESC is not technically supposed to support anyway.

This means that the MGM is a good esc, but the MM is capable of doing the same job. If there aren't any obvious reasons why I should get the MGM then I might save some money and get the MM.

I forgot about the Neu + MM problem. Thanks for reminding me. Would the MGM perform better than the MM with a Neu motor?

I should just get another Quark.......but one of the best things about this hobby is trying out new products.

@captain - thanks for the info on the manual.
