But I was thinking about a MMM combo (esc + motor) this combo is one of the best combo's on the market together with the Teking combo (so some say to me).
Many forums + youtube comments seem to confirm this...So I think I will go for that combo.
And the MGM instruction are a bit to crazy for me to figure out, so I'll take my chances with the MMM combo :)

It's always best to figure things out good before you'll buy. before buying read all you can and deside wise. First you need to learn to crawl, than learn walking before you start running.

I would pick the MMMv3 combo. Will do good, but a lower kv motor with higher voltage will give a colder setup... Will also draw less max amps so lower c rating lipo's and by that cheaper can be used...
The tekin motor's.. rotors... dramatic so far what I see. When they work they do a great job.. but high faillure risk and 3 months warranty. Also quite a lot more faillures on the ESC's than with the MMM v2. Productidea is good, testing cyclus was loooooooong and promosing but as often minor changes once put into production can cause big problems... As I setup productions in China for EU & US based companies I know that that fase is very critical. And almost all the RC manufacturors outsource quite a lot overthere and in Taiwan. Read the boxes.. designed in the USA... = not equal to produced in the USA.. Same with 'designed by Neu' = not equal to 'produced by hand by Neu'... All has its price and often you get what you pay for. Although good = good and highend is for most of us a 'waste of money'.. better use that money for other fun things in life.
Castle Creations had their problems to with the v1 and v2 version but the v3 is now a good product, they work and 1 year warranty.. Customer service is good in the US, for europe it all depends on the agent that is selling and for that they have picked at least one who doesn't meet the requirements a company like Castle stands for... they should check good the job their resellers do & if necessary

The MGM is less complicated than one could conclude reading all instructions the MGM compro engineers hand out and by their 'technical type of writing'. They should write their instructions with the practical user in mind and not as engineer who explains something to another engineer...

Most important have fun with your RC8T!!!
