Where is that track? They actually race monster trucks on asphult? I've never seen that, but it looked like fun. My favorite part was when the turn marshall though you were flamed out.:005: Happens to me all the time too. I normally just blip the throttle and they figure it out. I had one moron that picked it up and then held it by the wheel so I couldnt touch the trottle without risking injury to him. He carried it all the way back to the pits and then set it down and then I took off again. You should have seen his face when I took off. He almost shit his pants.:005:


About the Quark sparks: I'm wondering if with all of the cracks in the case and cutting you did if something like a little aluminum chip or something wasnt loose in there and shorted something out. Could have shorted accross the battery input leads and just disitigrated. My suspision is though that brian is probably right. Its running, but not at its full potential and you may have future problems. I certainly hope thats not the case though.

So what made you want to do that cooling mod? Did you try it and have some sort of heat problem with just using the heatsink. I wouldnt think that racing on asphault would be that hard on the esc. No hills and very little rolling resistance.

Sweet conversion. I love the fact that you got it done in the nick of time.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
