One other thing to consider is that batteries also seem to make a difference in the cogging with the MM/Neu combo. I have an older Kokam 4s 3200 mah pack that seems to make the system cog a lot more than newer Lipo packs that are coming out now.

The MM is a great little system but, I think I'm with jhautz, I like the Quark for the 1/8 scale stuff right now. That may change though. Hopefully sooner rather than later if CC can do a programming fix.
