Need to make final decision between controllers for 8XL motor with 14-16cells (do not plan to increase the cell count)

they cost about the same and i just realized that the MGM is a Czech company which would simplify service

The Quark would be my choice, but the MGM is quite good as well. However, you'll get smoother operation out of the quark.

I like my MGM. With your setup you can run it without a fan. I also like the replaceable motor and battery leads. Saves trouble when you constantly abuse your truck!

I've had both, the Quark will overheat without modifacation, the MGM wont but is a real pain to program (unless they have come out with the PC progaming upgrade) and has poor instructions. The Quark is smoother, the MGM more adjustable. I like the Mamba Max the best but it is limited to 4s lipo and 14 cells NIHM if you run a BEC. It also cogs the most at startup. I ran mine for a few high speed passes on 16 cells with no problems but wouldnt advise it. It is also less than half the price of the other controllers:018:

you will like the hb diffs and hybrids but you need a set of bearngs for the pinion for all of them to work 4 bearings actually to accomidate the bigger pinion size.

well i ordered 10 bearings so 2 should be as spare - 4 per diff if i am right

edit//just recieved diffs and they already have 2 bearings so i will actually need just 4 bearing for the pinions
