If you are looking to use a sensored 4S motor than the SP is a good choice.

Both ESC Prices are comparable
Both ESC PC programming and updates are comparable

MMM Pro's over SP
- MMM Can handle up to 6S Lipo VS SP 4S Lipo max
- MMM has a slightly smaller footprint
- MMM has a 5AMP BEC vs SP 3AMP BEC (this won't be an issue unless you plan to run some major current drawing servo's)

SP Pro's over MMM
- SP runs both sensored & sensorless motors (Sensored in dual mode)
- SP comes with a hand held programmer that you can use anywhere without the need of hauling around a laptop
- SP On/Off switch is FAR superior to the MMM switch. The MMM power switch is notorious for switching off when the vehicle takes a hard hit. This has happened to me numerous times and I finally shoegoo'd my MMM switch to the On position. This obviously isn't a hard selling point but a small notch in the belt for the SP.

Oh BTW,
I will be getting a RX8/2050 combo as soon as I can

So I'll be able to make a comparison between all 3 ESC's soon

Thanks for your response. I am intending to use the esc in a monster truck.
Which esc can handle heat better? Same setup (speed, vehicle, motor, cell count... etc)different esc. Which esc will run cooler?

I have only used the SP Esc in a buggy so I have no data for MT use. Both Esc's run about the same heat in the buggy. Personally, I would recommend running 6S in a MT or Truggy so my vote goes to the MMM for this. The SP Esc should be fine if you plan to run a sensored 4S motor though.

You guys don't know what your talking about, especially starcream.

You don't know the meaning of power until you get your hands on one of these, and this is just the prototype.

I am chomping at the bit waiting for this to come out. I saw some spy shots of it at RCX but supposedly it was going to take a year to get to the masses. I like all of the moving parts and the non proportional throttle has me stoked! Plus that big heat shield is very sexy.
