    MGM program problems, need help

    I received two MGM TTM 28026-3S yesterday. I was cautious about hooking them up in the boat with out reading the instructions manual, because I was tired. I waited untill this morning when I was fresh to start reading the manual. after t.5 hours of reading I hooked the controller up to the computer and opened the program. The instructions said to up date and install new firmware. I did that everything was working fine to this point. I went to settings and selected 8 cells and a few other settings I can not remember right now. I proceeded to hook up the second controller and go there the same process. Once all that was done I installed the controllers in the boat and tried to run the system. It did not make any tunes aand did not work at all. I went back to the controller and It will not light up the text showing connection and can not get the program to recognize the ECS. I need help thanks in advance.

    While I am at my shop I do not have internet so be patience with me I will read it when I an at home.

        Is the computer installing the USBCOM4? what version of windows are on both computers? are you using a USB extender on any computer?

          Not sure on the USBCOMP number. Windows XP, no extender

                  Ok you guys are right. I do not know why I did not see that. what would be the right ESC for me? It is the Central RC Marine build I did twins. I might have hurt the ESC putting them on 8S?

                    Randy I believe these esc's had a over voltage protection that shuts themselves off if you plug in a battery outside of there range. I may be wrong.

                        Randy,

                        These controllers do have over voltage protection. You should be ok

                        For your 8s set up, MGM 25063-3(250 amp) or 40063-3(400 amp)

                        Mike

                          For 8s the 25035 X3 will do just fine :) they are also the same size as what you got already
