I'm a bit curious if the MM would benefit from higher capacitance/voltage caps. If I remember correctly, the Quark does have that over the MM...

Just to throw it out there, I have killed two MMs. One was in my Revo, and some of the FETs burned out (runs a little, but cogs terribly on startup). It had lasted a long time (was of the first production run). The other was a brand new one that I bought last Friday, and was running in my Hyper 8 on 4s Lipo. The MM actually released A LOT of smoke after only a couple of minutes of running... and it even had a fan over it.
