I've had to get one for each of my mmp's. I've ran my MMP in my 8th scale buggy with no issues. I dont see why it wouldn't work in a erevo. If it doesn't help then pick up a mmm.
I normally run Novak but I have them sent out for updating. In the meantime I had a MMP laying around that I thought I would try to use as a backup. I run a Kyosho SC-R in a 13.5 class. First, the MMP with 'stock' settings was fairly smooth but slow in comparison to the Kinetic that I normally run. No worries as I was still setting comparable laptimes. I monitor my temps after each run and the highest the ESC got was 120, the ambient temp was 105 (Arizona) so it was running nicely. However, it started acting up in such a way that if I ever stopped, it wouldn't start up again w/out a push.
What causes this crap? I can deal with it being not quite as smooth or as fast as the kinetic but that "Cogging" basically ruins a race.
Oh and I run the extra voltage protector/capacitor thing.
