MGM Low Voltage Cut Off - Owners READ

Topas, Freewheel should be set to 'yes' right?

im still trying to get mgm to respond to my emails asking for info to ship 2 of the 16018's to them.

Pheww, thats a relieve. Anyone received their upgraded controllers from MGM yet? I hope mine comes in soon. Supposed to have left MGM last Monday but so far no tracking ID or word from MGM yet.

So what are considered weak lipo's? I run 2 orion 4800's which are rated at 15c, or 74 amps. I have yet to experience these cut-out issues on lipo mode. I have it set to reduce RPM, 4s.

Weight of your car ?
Gearing ?
Motor ?

My Emaxx is new, stock chassis. My gearing is 68/20, Neu 1515 1y motor. Are these LV problems related to pushing the MGM hard making it cut out? I geared conservitive for a little over 30+ mph.

This LIPO is exactly too weak for your emaxx !!!

THough I'd have to look at my setup again, I don't think it was "reduce RPM" setting that caused the problem. It's when the setting is set to cut off.

I had my 5S set to cut off and had the same problem. Changed the setting to reduce rpm and it runs fine.

I was up till 3am last night replacing every Traxxas TRX end with a Dean's end. Now that it's done, I'll install the 5S low voltage detector that I bought from Mike.

My truck ran fine in reduce RPM, I just had a feeling that I wasn't getting the power my setup was capable of. Turns out reduce RPM mode was reducing the rpm to limit the current. Basically just because your controller doesn't cut out on reduce RPM mode doesn't mean your not having the problem.

Still waiting on my controller. Used a different email address to send Mr. Grisa a message and got a quick reply. My controller should have been shipped early last week. I'm going out of town next week, hopefully there will be a controller waiting for me when I get back.

You mean it might be even faster? I'm happy the way it runs now... I can't imagine breaking even more parts with more power.

Same thing for me, left MGM last monday, any tracking, any news from Grisa........

That's smell bad....

Both my ESCs are going to MGM tomorrow so they should be back on friday the latest based on agreement with mgm. They have 3.11, do not have really any issues with them but does not hurt getting new firmware.

i wanted to clear out the self fw upgrade and it is like this :

You will need CC03 cable + USBCOM version 3.0 or later (so I am sending my 2.12 version as well as it can be upgraded )

You'll need the CC_03 cable only if you want to download futur SW.
But for programming you controller via your PC, the CC_02 will do the job.

But i hope that MGM will send me the CC_03 cable with my upgrade controller
If not, i'll have to buy it, and i realy don't know where
