MGM Compro 160

[RC-Monster Mike]

Looks like I missed this post for a while! The current MGMs are not yet computer programmable, but when they do become available(computer programmable car controllers), the current controllers can be upgraded for free(just have to pay shipping).
So far, I have used the 10L and Lehner 1940/8 turn motor, both on 5s Lipo. I have not gotten it anywahere near hot enough to thermal it, and I haven't run a fan on it at all (hot weather, too). Overall, it is a great controller, but it has a few differences from the warrior that take some getting used to (been running BK controllers for years). One thing I noticed, is that when moving along and hitting the brakes, it will provide smooth brakes all the way to stop, and won't go into reverse until the brakes are released and then re-applied. This is good in most cases, but I sometimes apply brakes in more than one interval (slow down, let off the brakes and coast, then slow down again), which is tricky-once the controller goes back to neutral and back to brakes, reverse is engaged!. This caused me a few endos before I realized what was happening. I suppose I could tap the throttle before braking to get around it, but it is a bit different than my typical driving style (and old habits die hard!). I have tried several (well, all) of the programming parameters and they work as designed. When using the lipo cutoff parameter, I was indeed getting cutouts upon voltage drop(for racing, I use the nicd/nimh mode, so I don't get the cutouts). I still need to work with it some to be as comfortable as I am with my BK controllers, but the controller itself seems bulletproof and is nice to mount as well.
