which mgm did you buy? i know they arent cheap. plus i hear getting them fixed is a pain being as they are located in europe. it almost sounds like that little hobbywing is the way to go. didnt you say that your specs showed you werent even drawing 100amps?

btw, i dont really understand all the details of of gearing and watts and on and on. you seem to know all that very well. here is what i am running. was wondering if you could tell me if you think the hobby wing will work

2215 2y 750kv
10s 5000mah 30c
and 15/40 gearing

i know the gearing is high. i can go a bit lower down to a 12t pinion for a 12/40 setup if needed. is that gonna be geared low enough? what would my gear ratio be? remember i dont have the drive reduction unit like you. just a spur and pinion gear and of course the stock front and rear diffs which are 30t spur and 10t pinion.
