My quark 125 does ok on 6s with a 1700kv 1515, but adding another 600kv and 30mm of motor is a big jump. A guy at my track racing a truggy on 4s and plettenburg maxximum burnt out his SSB-mk03 during practice, but I'm not sure of the details of how it happened.

wow, burnt out on 4s and a maxximum

maybe i should let others try out that ESC before i make a desicion on it . Well then, looks like the MMM... if its ever released...

what 'bigger' controllers are there, are you saying something like the MGM 16024?

How would a plane ESC go, such as one of the Castle Phoenix's, upto 12s lipo!! What would the truck be lacking though? It wouldn't have brakes or reverse with a plane ESC would it?

I think I'd definately want to wait for the MMM before trying to fit a plane esc to my truck though...

Don't go with the 1527. I have a 1527/1.5Y, but I'm actually not going to use it yet because the 1521/1Y already provides a ton of power. One powerfull controller would be the MGM 22418.
