I really like the system. It’s just so consistent. My first race with the new RX8 is this weekend. I think the system is more durable than the MMM, but I think the CC 2200kv is a little faster. One thing that shocked me is there is no neutral motor breaking at all. When you let off the trigger the car will coast forever. I think with the added control of the RX8, my lap times will actually be faster. We will see.

What do you mean by no Braking, is the motor slotted? neat concept. my cc2200 combo doesnt really have that much rolling resistance. Cant wait to see a head to head competition between the two.
