MGM Low Voltage Cut Off - Owners READ

[Sparky]

I’m not a big fan of the MGM because it is very difficult to setup. I can’t wait for the MMM. I have my system running good after 2 month of tuning. I finished 7 out of about 40 people in the sportsman class last week. I made it to the A-Main. In my heats I went 3,2,2.

Here are a few tips of what my problems were. I’m still tuning.

Problem = Braking and neutral and throttle control.
Solution= This was the big one for me. I had a hard time defining the real issues
It boils down to trigger calibration. If you have a digital radio, make sure you set the EPA to 120% throttle and 120% brake. And recalibrate you radio. Also you need to set your MGM neutral @ about 6% or 9%. And the Freewheel should be set to YES.
Don’t for get to Auto tune after changing any settings.

Problem= My MGM would cut out about haft way throttle
Solution= Set controller to reduce RPM. I had my gearing way to hi.
I’m running 6S 22.2 volt so my gearing ended up at 13/46 with a Neu 1512 2.5d
I think most peoples real problem is gearing! My MGM cut out like crazy until I got the gearing right. Also you should end up with a gearing that you set the throttle EPA back about 10% to 20%. This will help with heat build up if you are running 30 min mains like me. This will help you keep from using 100% of the available power out of your motor. Which is ok but not for long durations. Use a temp gun for this setting after a 30min run.
