We did tons of testing with the MMP. It's my favorite ESC right now. Easily handles this buggy. I removed the fan from the beginning and it's never thermaled. The only issue we had with the MMP was with the servo overloading the BEC. We just put a cap on there and problem solved. We tested it on 4s and 6s.
By the way, what servos were you using? I have been using for a single steering servo the Futaba S9351 and don't need a BEC or cap on it.

We're working on international distribution now. It's imperative that we have good sales channels and support throughout the rest of the world now. It's easy buying a hop-up driveshaft kit online, but the whole car with spares and options is a little different. We'll be listing distributors on our site as soon as they are confirmed. Parts lists and prices will be going to dealers and distributors today or tomorrow.

for the money and warranty, you do get a nice ESC. If the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro could do more than 2S, would be a nice ESC in 1/8 too sizewise as it handles 4x4 SCT with no issues and is cheap now.

right now what is the preferred configuration you are running as far as traktion drive versus direct drive, mech brakes versus motor, etc?
Also, what is the weight difference between direct drive / motor brakes, and say traktion drive and mech brakes?

Traktion Drive or Elektri-Clutch adds about 20g. Brake servo, discs, pads, levers, etc is probably ~4oz. We weighed one of our test cars with the full setup and it was around 7.75lb IIRC.

thanks. I got your traktion drive here but was running carpet for a bit so stuff with the long shanks.
By the way, speaking of which, I know you no longer have to use them, but, can you if you wanted to? Figured I could keep my current gears versus buying all new ones.

Absolutely. Just flip the diff like you would for TD or EC. The main thing we were trying to get across is that you don't HAVE to use them.

Hi Tekno,
the long center front is using dog bone instead of CVD because there is straight into the front diff, right ???
any photos showing this setup ???
it's really innovative as the front diff should be angled for front caster
