MM questions - possibly time to upgrade the HV4.5... - RC-Monster Forums

Well...it pretty much settled - dad gave me the "OK."

I'm going to get the HV system fixed and then sell it. Hopefully, I'll get somewhere around 325 for everything.

I think I'm going to get the MM with the 1940/6.

Any recommendations on the UBEC? I will probably use Mike's but I've heard that it causes glitching in certain setups? Shouldn't be a problem with Spektrum though I assume?

Also, anyone have any Idea on gearing?

Wow! I never thought I'd see you stray away from your sensored setups! Welcome to the dark(er) side. :)

Maybe I'm a little paranoid, but a 6 turn motor on the MM seems a little on the low side. You'll probably need a fan to keep it cool. Just my $0.02...

I'm using Spektrum and Mike's UBEC in my Revo and have no glitching trouble at all. Whenever I use a switching BEC, I like to add at least a 1,000uf 10v cap to the free AUX receiver slot - helps filter any "noise" and provides a little oomph for the relatively high current pulses the steering servo sometimes pulls. Also, keep the BEC away from the antenna.
