That's good news. I'll keep an eye out. I did order a Quark and it should be here tomorrow. I hope the caps that I ordered come in too. That way I can get the Quark ready for installation. I still haven't decided on a motor yet. I have a 1515 2.5d coming in, but I'm not sure that's what I want to run. I ordered a 9XL to try out. If I like that, I may just keep the 2.5d. If it's too much, I'll let the shop sell the 2.5d and order a 1.5Y.

I do have to say that I'm really starting to like the lower kv motors. When I first started in all of this, the speed was what got me hooked, but now that I'm used to it, I'm ready to start concentrating more on my driving. The lower kv motors really take a lot of the worry out of running these electric setups for extended periods.

BTW, I'm planning on running 5S. I really like the idea of running a lower kv motor on higher voltage with less current draw. Even with all of the stress problems I was having with the Muggy, my cheapo truerc ($180 pack) never broke a sweat and the system was pushing enough power to blow out the front diffs. If I can keep running the higher voltage, I may never pay more than $200 for a battery pack again.
