Trouble with MGM 22418 - HELP!!!

Can't MGM just update the software to allow us to set LVC to what ever we want?

That would be the best solution. Maybe if there are enough customers who would like this feature (correction) added Mike can ask MGM for it. When I bought the pieces for my Savage I picked my dream list of parts. To have one of them not performing properly really bothers me.

Anyone close to Mike who could make this request?

It seems there are a bunch of people who have this problem, just scattered throughout the forum.

I've email MGM 2 weeks ago about their LVC problem, and the technician who had reply to me tell me that he have never hear about this....
I'am not sure about that because lot of guys here with MGM 16018 and 22418 have lot of problems with the LVC.
So if this guys at MGM tell me that he never have any complaint about this problem, not sure if MGM is near to offer a new software for their controller

Dear David,

I am not sure, if I correctly understand described problem - do you have this problem also with slow down mode? Please, let me know.
Can you send me monitor hardcopy with data reading from controller after LVC kick? (Via USBCOM+ and PC).

Best regards,
Grisa

Hello, i've a revo convert to brushless, using a Neu 1515, 1Y motor, MGM 16018 controller and Flightpower EVO25, 5000mAh, 4s li-po pack, all on 5.5mm bullet connectors.

My problem ( and it's the problem for lot of guys who have this controller), is that the Low Voltage Cutoff kick realy too early.
I've a very good li-po pack, and i can't drain it because of the LVC how cut too fast.
When the LVC kick, i place my pack on the charger and i only put about 2500 to 2700mAh on it.(It's a 5000mAh pack!!!???!!!)
I've try to run the LVC in cutoff mode, slow down mode and nothing to do.
Just in race mode that i don't have this problem, but in race mode, it's very dengerous to kill my li-po pack, because in this mode, the LVC is disable.

In the past, i run this same truck with the same setup exept for the controlller, it was a Mamba Max and never have this trouble.
I've spend over $300.00 on the MGM 16018 and now i can't enjoy my rides.
My controller is new, i've purchase it in november 2007, and the software version of the controller is 3.11.

Need help please.

Regards!

David Lamontagne


And this is the email address of MGM:mgm@mgm-compro.cz

I have started a new thread to continue this conversation

I think that a more appropriate title will help get more people who have had this problem to discuss their findings and hopefully assist us in getting a fix from MGM.
