Yeah, I thought the Quark would be the ticket. I can live with 5S, but when I started reading about the heat problems, I wasn't so sure. I consider excessive heat to be a sign of a bad design, especially in light of the fact that the esc won't do 6S like it's supposed to. I don't mind doing the mod to help keep it cool, but that would render it a one shot deal. If it blows, you're just about screwed.

I figured I'd sacrifice some smoothness for reliability and cool running, so I opted for the 16016 Compro. I bought it almost a month ago and still haven't been able to run it. After a week of trying to program it, I decided that it wasn't me and on Mike's recommendation I sent it to him, so that he could make sure that I wasn't screwing something up. Mike's had it for over a week now, but I haven't heard from him. He must be busy because he hasn't responded to my emails inquiring about it. I'm starting to get the feeling that the Compro is going to have to go back to MGM for repair, which really sucks. This is one of the reasons that I'm going to start ordering everything from my LHS. At least if I get something defective from there, they'll swap it out for me. It's what they've done in the past.

So...I've been running my MM controllers. Apparently, the truck that I'm running is much heavier than most are using the MMs in and the controller is having a hard time. It's a Losi Muggy running big 40 series masher tires and goes about 13lbs with the 8Ah pack. I've blown three MMs running them in the Muggy. Two on 5S and 1 on 4S.

These experiences have lead me to my esc wishlist, which I stated above. I've gotta tell ya, I'm so close to trashing all of this stuff and going to helicopters it isn't funny. By the time I get my Compro back, I won't need the esc as the MMM will probably be out. Either that, or the Teken MT. Geez, I've been whining a lot lately.

What about some sort of a mechanical controller? Like an AC light dimmer switch controlled by a servo. OK, I know I'm reaching now.

As for all of these guys making one good esc, I'd love to see that happen; but you know that it won't. What would be nice is if some new, small, fresh blood firm came about and designed what we were looking for from the ground up.

BTW, has anyone been able to figure out why it is that the Quark won't do 6S?
