Quark capacitor voltage??
 
Does anyone know the voltage rating on the Quark 125B capacitors??

How is the S&T warranty service?? Is it hard to get a replacement unit from those guys?

Thank you
Daf

Daf;

Niels had a broken quark 125, he only needed to sent them an email and it was set. they shipped a new one right away.

IIRC, the caps are 25V.

You smoked one?

I thought someone said they were 35V, not for sure where, but if i find it i'll link it

Nope, they are 35v. I looked when mine was open. 25v would be useless I think, they would just pop.

Yeah, they are 35v. I remember that when I did the internal epoxy mod a loooong time ago.

zeropointbug 04.29.2007 11:44 PM

Yah, did you kill a cap. in it? I DID! :019:

Check my other thread.

No, I've never broken any ESC - yet.

WOW... Just today I killed my MGM Compro 12012 (capacitors blew). A week or two ago I killed a Mamba Max, and a couple weeks before that I killed my first Mamba Max.

I would probably cry if I broke an ESC.

Funny you should mention about the blown capacitors though, ZPB just had one of them on his Quark blow...

I've blown two ESC's in my "RC career." I blew an EVX after a few runs, which got replaced for free. Then, somewhat recently, I blew my HV ESC doing speed runs with my HV4.5. ESC got replaced for free - and now I'm upgrading to a MM (MMM when it comes out) and a 1950 :D

BrianG 04.30.2007 09:53 AM

LOL, I blew something as well, but not really R/C related. I had built a variable loading circuit and wanted to test the power-dissipating properties of the heatsink. Wellll, let's just say that a TIP3055 transistor (rated for 10A) cannot pass 25A. :) Literally blew a hole in the casing of the device. But I didn't care since I was just playing around and half-expected that.

that's some funny stuff brian.
i also broke 2 mm's a while ago.
