MGM 16016 + 7XL Good combo?

I've considered the MM. I believe that a true 1/8 controller like the Quark or MGM 160 is better than the MM. A MM + Neu combo could obviously be an option. I'd need a UBEC with the MM, but wouldn't the MGM be fine without one?

There are just too many ways you do this. To many combos of esc+motor. And too many opinions :confused:

Expect issues with the Neu and MM setup. There are quite a few reports of bad cogging with this combo. The MM apparently does not like Neu motors yet. There was a rumor of a software fix, but I think CC is too busy on the MMM to devote time to tweaking software to support a motor the ESC is not technically supposed to support anyway.

This means that the MGM is a good esc, but the MM is capable of doing the same job. If there aren't any obvious reasons why I should get the MGM then I might save some money and get the MM.

I forgot about the Neu + MM problem. Thanks for reminding me. Would the MGM perform better than the MM with a Neu motor?

I should just get another Quark.......but one of the best things about this hobby is trying out new products.

@captain - thanks for the info on the manual.
