Yes. I have the 40.160H and it works very well in my truck.

I have 2 MGM24.160 and the brakes are just way too strong... even on the lowest settings... if you throttle lower than the current RPM, it will slow the motor right down... I need a firmware update, but don't want to send it to MGM... if you have the new firmware.. then it would be great...

Hmm sounds like I am better sticking to another HV110 and just thottle it down....especially since a Neu pulls down a truck quick once you let off. Also looks like MGM's are not the ticket either....

I would if I wasn't putting dual brushless into my GST.. :) the 40.160WK is the smoothest ESC I've ever used...

or The cheap HobbyCity Turnigy Sentilon 12S 100A ESC... $100 and I'm really digging those ESCs....

You know anybody that has tried one of the Turnigy's??? How does it compare to the HV110??? I'm looking to buy one this week.....

[aqwut]

I have about 10 of them... I love them... They have constant of 100A... but on 12S, that's enough juice... I'm ordering 6 more tonight.... Each ESC can output 4440Watts of continuous power... for $100 that's is Just plane awesome... I've used this with one of my Savages and 7XL and 4S... works great.. only thing is.. you'll have to use mechanical brakes... which I don't mind...

[jzemaxx]

Hmm how do they do with heat...does a heatsink need to be added? One thing I forgot though is will it work with a 4 pol motor though?

[aqwut]

They work with 2, 4, 6+ pole motors... there is a heatsink installed.... just add a small fan for extra cooling... it's great...

The only thing I recommend doing is siliconing the Capacitors together.. or shoeGoo... they need to be secured better...

[jzemaxx]

I wish my emaxx had mech. brakes......guess I'll just have to play with the throttle to slow the truck down on high speed passes.

What are you doing for programming it? Did you buy the programming card?

yup.. I used the program card.. it's easy to do...
I just ordered 6 more ESCs....

[jzemaxx]

I just ordered the card and the ESC just now as well. How long does it take to get them....?

[aqwut]

I usually get them in about a week... I usually choosed (registered mail)... for me in Canada, it gets here faster than it does from the US...
