I race with a guy who runs both the mamba combo and the tekin combo, one in his e-revo and the other in an eight2.0. Watching these 2 R/Cs on the track, you could tell they were both brushless, but apart from that, there was nothing that you could tell the difference between the 2 systems until you looked under the body. The last time I have talked to Castle, they said their MMM failure rate is less than 1%, which is far far better than the V1 and V2 MMMs. Just like if you read the whole MaxAmps thread (60c Really in general discussion), if you had one, or several MMM's detonate on your watch, you might be weary to trust them in a race. Although, recently, with the refurbished MMM's for sale, it has made it very affordable to have a backup speed controller, no matter which system you are running.

Bottom line: either way you go, you wont be sorry. Each company has their own small advantages here and there, like an included PC connection, or a visible temperature probe right on the speed controller, sensored operation, included high current quick disconnectors. It will mainly come down to how you race(or bash), and which ESC tailors your needs the most.

PS: no intention to bash either Tekin or Castle
