For a short period I will own a Fiegao 380 6s and a Hacker c40 6s . As a comparrison I have just ran each motor in my Xray T1R with a Schulze U-Force and identical settings on a 6 cell GP 3300 pack. To be totally honest it is very hard to say if there is any real noticeable difference. Each motor is very fast if anything I think the feigao revs slightly quicker but it is hard to say .The only other small problem or it could be a large one is the output shaft on the feigao is not very long, by the time you fit an adapter plate there is only enough shaft left to have the pinion meshing on half of the spur gear . This will depend on your application and the thickness of your motor mount and adapter plate, The hacker has a long shaft in comparrison. The Hacker runs cooler but it has a heat sink molded into the can where the feigao is blank . For my money I know which one I would buy, now I need to decide which one I want to sell .If the feigaos where easier to get a hold of I think they would sell - no problem. As for the MGM Vs U-Force 75 , The U-Force wins hands down although it is much more expensive and will not handle as many amps . The MGMs main problem was the brakes, they are applied hard when backing off the throttle and also fade under hard use . It is a very smooth controller and has a lot of good adjustable parametres . The U-Force however has great brakes no engine braking, reverse can be dissabled and it is much more compact . It actually feels very much like a brushed motor to drive and also has a great range of adjustments. Hope this answers some questions that people have been wondering about. :)

I agree, I have both the u-force and a MGM. I don't know if the newer mgm's are better but mine runs a 4 pole motor very poorly. Hitting the brakes sometimes results i the motor going forward again. What we really need is a u-force 125!!

That should be the Mamba Maxx! I don't think that the Maxx will be as programmable as the U-Force, though. BUT, it does come with a programming cable! Compared to the Schulze $60 cable, that's a good thing.

Sorry its a bit off topic but I have a Q about the Maxx. Will the MAxx be able to drive sensored motors using the sensor harness, or just not use the sensors at all?

My 120 amp mgm runs my novak ss5800 just fine, but not as well as it does with the feigao. Occasionally it will cut the throttle when the car is moving at about 10-15 mph, but other than that, control is very smooth. My guess is that the mamba maxx will handle sensored motors without the sensors just fine.
