I have owned both and agree with neil. Wait for CC to get the new one out.

The startup and braking on the MGM's with 4 pole motors has gotten better but still leaves much to be desired and is not smooth by any means. They are also a pain to get service done on which usually takes about 2-3 months if you are in the US, Europe would most likely be faster.

They are also annoying to program as the ESC still has to be powered via a battery while connected to the computer. The programming isn't all that great either as they leave you very few variables to change.

3 years ago I would have said go for it, however today I suggest waiting.

No too mention the 120a version may be a little close for comfort as MGM rates theirs right on the edge. I used the 160a version and mine still ran hot with a neu 1515 (1700kv).
