The MMM has never thermalled on me and have have pushes it much harder. Keep in mind I had the latest updates from MGM as well and could update via the web. The MGM start up routines were lacking as well, basically the firmware is nowwhere near what the MMM has in it.

I am not saying MGM is junk, but pound for pound and dollar for dollar, the MMM beats it in everyway comparing the same level controllers, and the MMM is still 100 cheaper.

The 16024 was their last generation esc, the 28025 is new generation, which may also make a difference (plus higher current handling). I run a 16024 in my Muggy, and have also tried a MMM in it as well, and I will say that the MMM is a step above that particular MGM model.

I whole heartedly agree with you both. I too have owned and burned previous generation MGMs to the ground. I've owned three 22418-3's, and none of them lasted long. This was pre Monster, so there was no other choice back then. These newer ones are far more reliable, but still have the quirks that make them fall out of favor with the masses, price included. This is the reason I am here making my request. It would be the best thing ever to get the programability, smoothness, and support service of a Castle product, wrapped around the brute strength of an MGM. The great Castle price point, wouldn't be bad either.
