Why doesnt ose carry MGM controllers? they seem to be the cream of the crop and Id have one if it werent like pulling teeth trying to find/order one. I was looking on their website, and they have some nice stuff. They also have some nice looking but affordable controllers. They also come waterproof.....a must in my eyes for a boat. Whats the holdup on stocking them here on ose?

Rocketcityracing.com will order them if they don't have stock. They are anothor very good vendor with reasonable prices and excellent communication. I've purchased 2 mgm's from them and will the next time I need another. Brianw is a member here and runs rocketcityracing.

Ive purchased from them before but took about a month to get my part. by then i had already found it somewhere else and had the boat going. i prefer to do my business with ose when possible and kintec if ose does not have it. i hope that steve would consider stocking at least a couple. I think he'd sell them.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

The one challenge with selling the MGM controllers is the variety of options. You have three different voltage ranges, 6 current ranges and a host of other varieties like double battery wires, water protected versus water proof, and warranty levels.
There are a couple popular sizes and options that could be stocked. I would recommended the following:
12026 with double battery leads and WP protection (specifically for ltd motors in mind)
28026 with double battery leads and WP protection
25035 with double battery leads and WP protection
14063 with double battery leads and WP protection
I would not carry the larger 250 and 400A 63V versions as those users tend to need specific options for packaging.
I have had my fair share of issues with the controllers, but mostly related to firmware updates. The controllers have been very "safe" and as of yet I have not had a failure resulting in a crispy ESC.
Just my 2 cents.

Great Controller's good luck with warranty. A good friend on this forum had a large controller that blew on him. (did not over amp it.) They gave him a good discount on a new unit but our Idea of a warranty and Europe's must be two different things.Comment

Tyler has provided some very good recommendations. The model I see users use the most is as follows. The only other option I would recommend to be listed as a special order is additional factory-installed caps. I don't know that many of us that use double power conductor wires unless we are running 2p or higher voltage with larger connectors.
TMM 28026-3 for Race Boats X2-SERIES LITE
- ON/OFF switch
- WP version (increased protection against water)
- standard power conductors
- design with water-cooled heatsinks
As a final thought, the following two items are required for programming and reading data logs:
- USBCOM4 - device for controller connection with PC
- CC_11 - connecting cable between controller and USBCOM4
As far as everything else, including all of the various options, Steven has been great about custom orders for any of the manufacturers he carries.IMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"

Can I make a guess to say that perhaps the wires to the battery were too long?IMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"

I'm looking into a pair of either the TMM 28026-3 for Race Boats X2-SERIES or the TMM 25035-3 for Race Boats X2-SERIES
