MGM Low Voltage Cut Off - Owners READ

The HRS mode is usefull only if you run digital servos
If you use normal servos, donK't use HRS mode or you'll smoke your servos.
And if you have digital servo, you can run in PPM mode and all will be fine with the MGM

Thanks David. Is there anyone that can confirm the new firmware works with HRS?

Regards Andrew

I suppose to recieve mine this week

Which radio you use fkadir??? a normal FM or a 2.4?
Me i use a Futaba 2.4 FASST 3PM.

Im using the Airtronics M11 with the 2.4Ghz module. Hope yours comes in soon. :)

I sended this morning my 9032 that doesnt brake well anyway, and this 9032 reemplaced a 12018 that doesn't worked, so....
In 2-3 weeks I'll tell you if I have or not my first mgm runing without any issue.

Im very dissapointed whith mgm escs, I had 2, 2 didn't worked. Mgm support is Ok for now.

Ok it looks like the low voltage cutoff was fixed with sw update from reading above, but has the freak mgm braking thing been fixed? I still having problems with freak mgm braking and I want to send mine in, just want to make sure "both" problems will be fixed...do we need to call mgm or just send it in with note?...

Send an email to Grisa from MGM. This is his email mgm@mgm-compro.cz Can't answer your question about the braking issues sorry.

Cheers Andrew

Just curious, what mail service does MGM use to send your controller back to you in the US?

Very standart mail for me in the Canada. The controller was pack in the original anti-static bag, seal from factory, and the bag was place between two piece of carton, hold togheter with tapd, and all the thing was place in a buble envelope.
Very basic shipping, with a value of $168.00Czech device (about $11.00 US)

I was thinking that they'll place it in a solid box, but maybe it was to much $$.

Anyways, the most important thing is that i've recieve it back, in good shape, with my upgraded USBCOM+ module and a free CC_03 cable.

Now, the only thing to do is to find a truck to put it in and test the brake and fuse current protection, because i've sold the e-revo yesterday.

BUGGY OR TRUGGY???

Just received my speed controls (3X TMM 16018-3 Car / Boat EXPERT+) back from MGM after having the firmware upgraded to the Ver. 3.21 . The turn around time in total from the time I sent it to the time I got it back was 1 month (Australia), not the quickest but there was no charge from MGM for the upgrade, CC_03 cable or the return postage (I did pay the postage to send the 3 controls $60Aus. 3-5 days delivery).
I can confirm that the newest firmware will operate with Futaba Radios in "HRS" mode (I use a 3PKS with th Futaba Fasst 2.4GHz system) this is a welcome update as I always use digital servos and they will now be operating to their maximum performance.
I have yet to test the LVC as my system would go to reduce RPM once the edge came off my packs @ about the 2mins mark, I will post my findings after I test drive my car.

Cheers Andrew

Picked my 22418 from the post office this morning. I will be installing it tonight so we'll see what happens with mine tomorrow...

Yes please let us know if quirky braking stuff is gone...ready to send mine in....when you guys are sending them in are you insuring them full value or taking a risk with a low declared value ?

When I finally decide to send mine in, they will have full value and more . The post office should be more careful when it comes to our beloved electronics. If it was going to Brasil, you would definete get a lot of money. Customs down there stinks.

Do you know what??? When MGM will send it back to you, they'll only put $10.00 value on the shipping slip

Now imagine if it got lost on the way back to you. Do they add insurance for when they ship it back?

well they can replace it for the 10.00 if its lost...
