They are good controllers, just a bit outdated. Only downfall is 5V on the servos instead of the new controllers that are higher. They are also a bit funny and you have to watch out as when you turn them on they look to calibrate the radio every time. I've had a couple of issues not paying attention pressing slightly on the trigger during calibration and then having the vehicle go WOT on me.
I think they pared them up with an 8L motor from the factory. Still cant figure out why a 7XL would smoke it so I would be a bit worried running it on a large motor.

Something to do with the fact a 7xl can pull 100amps easy...

Why are you dead set on a T8 2250 motor?

Those L motors can pull some serious amps when they are not geared properly. I figured an XL would pull the same or better as an L if it was geared for the same mph. I had the 7XL with 20/68 gearing on my emaxx which is what everyone was running the MM with on 4S. So ya the controller is not going to be as beefy as an MM and may not run the bigger motors, but waterproof it is.

The MMM isn't nearly as water resistant as the MM, I lost two MMM's last winter from a tiny little bit of snow getting in the esc... I was only running on the road, not baja'n the deep snow, when all of a suddin, magic smoke! Then the very next day the same thing happened (with another new MMM), magic smoke...

Meanwhile I can practally submerge any of my MM's... Got one MM thats been running strong, year round since 2006!

We need REAL WATERPROOF 120-200A (CONT) BL ESC's and Rx's!!!!
