http://mgm-compro.com/e-shop/ There is a link in the top-right hand corner of the home page to the MGM online shop. From there you can find all their products with prices in euros, then just use a currency converter to find the price in $/£ etc.

EDIT: Not all the new controllers are on that site yet, so the prices are for alot of the older stuff- being updated.

they do have pdf price list that can be found in the product description section but only in czech - lucky you that you have me here :)

21.5CZK=1USD so just divide the number there by 21.5

but from what I have seen the older controllers were cheaper in US than in Czech rep. Evene with postage and taxes it would be cheaper for me to get them from Mike, but the new controller prices are quite low

Ah, so $242 for the 16018. Nice! I can certainly swing that for all the features it has. Now....when can I buy one? :D

You can get lucky once in a while. A while back, I bought the CRT.5, but the CC was never charged. A month later, I sent them an email to question it, but never got a response and still no CC charge - and that was about a month or two ago. Looks like I got a free CRT,5. :)

That's a sweet deal! Where did you buy it from????? :027:

[snellemin]

I want one too! Are the MGM really built well?! I'm looking for something better for my heavy FLM Rustler.

[BrianG]

lol, you would have to ask that. I just cleaned out my email box a couple days ago and got rid of everything on that. I do remember that when I ordered it, there was a big mix up with the shipping dept. I had to stay on the phone and be transferred back and forth from/to the shpping and store departments until they got it right. It wasn't someplace like Tower or anything. At the time, it was the only place that had them listed in stock since they had JUST come out.

baaaaah, i hate shipping mishaps and being on the phone to fix it. sounds like it wasn't a freebie - you earned it, lol.

[BrianG]

Lol, I would say I probably "earned" a discount, but a $270 freebie IS a tad bit much. :)

Hey, I'm just happy to hear that someone I know has had some good fortune!

Awesome!

@neil;

sure i am aware of the e-shop, but the 18 cells 160A controller simple isn't listed. That's why i asked.

[Serum]

Thanks Wallot.. !

that helps...

Holy cow.. the 120A 18 cells, with the build in bec for only 195 bucks.. Sounds like a winner to me!

@ serum; I am a plank. Anyway, after a little bit of currency converting the 160-18 would only cost £121!!! Thats cheaper than the old one if I ordered it from MGM when its listed- add to that a suitable motor for about $80 or so and I'll have a seriously good setup for cheap-as-chips. I would like to get a plettenburg maxximum with fan (big max is too much power for me), but even then that still works out cheaper than what I paid for the HVmaxx = £270/$510.....

As luck would have it Im making a fair bit by selling some of my old crap on ebay so it shouldnt be long before I have enough money. The futures bright!

How many caps does the Compro 16018 have? IIRC, 4?

[suicideneil]

Yep. Some of the pics are just general ones recycled for alot of different controllers, but I did see a pic with the 160-18 label on the esc, and that had four caps on it.
