I'll look into making a 5s capable control board for the MM -- if you think that will be sufficient.
Thanx!

Add a switching BEC and true 5s capability to the mm controller and you have a winner imo. The size is much more ideal(particularly for buggies) vs. the monster and the controller with a fan is plenty capable with some sense. I have a few of these MM controllers in buggies and truggies - running 4s and 5s. With a fan, they have never thermalled or even gotten above 130F even in hard use. I do have to discharge my 5s packs a bit to get them to work well (about 20.6 volts or so).
In reality, I think the 1/8 use less current on average vs. a comp level 1/10 touring car in race conditions - less traction and more voltage. The spikes are higher, but the average current is lower. :)
