A little jealous of you guys with the newer 16024s!!! Mine is about 1.5 yrs old and doesn't have the built in BEC.

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

Does Mike have the 1624s? I did not see them on the site.

The new 16024's have no BEC either, only the 6s and lower controllers do. (16018, 22418)

So still not as good as having a true UBEC in the car anyway.

Yeah the 24's and 32's are Opto-coupled controllers. So you will need an external BEC.

What does the difference in the amp rating on the MGMs mean? Sorry if this seems obvious.

[What's_nitro?]

It is exactly how it looks. Though I will say it is the continuous rated current, not peak.

[mkrusedc]

Would it be correct that the higher the amps the cooler the esc will be?

If you run 100A through a 100A controller and a 150A controller, the 150A controller should be cooler since it's not working to 100% capacity. Also, the higher current ESC usually has more FETs so the paralleled Rdson values are paralleled as well reducing resistance (and heat).

Thanks. I did quite underatand that but I got the general concept.
