One other thing to consider is that batteries also seem to make a difference in the cogging with the MM/Neu combo. I have an older Kokam 4s 3200 mah pack that seems to make the system cog a lot more than newer Lipo packs that are coming out now.
The MM is a great little system but, I think I'm with jhautz, I like the Quark for the 1/8 scale stuff right now. That may change though. Hopefully sooner rather than later if CC can do a programming fix.
Let's see if I can change my decision again. Here's the question:
If the MM runs great on a 4 cell, can you get enough power from a larger mah 4 cell and run it with a Lehner 1950 on a truggy? Rather than having to go 5 cell. I know the 4 is great for a buggy, but since the truggy is bigger I wasn't sure.
