Batfish - I have an even better idea. You know how the ICE can do motor run-in? Plug the ICE output wires into the MGM's input wires. Go to the motor run-in option on the charger. Set it for about 7v. Turn the MGM controller on, and set the throttle trim so that there is low forward throttle. The motor will spin, because the ICE is supplying it with power. Now, on the ICE, you can adjust the voltage while the motor is spinning. Take it down to 6v, and see what happens. Bring the voltage lower until the MGM cuts out, and the motor stops spinning. This is an excellent test, and is more precise, and you don't want to risk your Lipo.
