wallot,

Do not feel as though you are alone. I got a Quark and it had issues, so I sent it to S&T and got a new one. When I pulled the new one out of the bag, one of the motor leads fell off. That was encouraging. I soldered that back on and wired up my Quark. It runs for about three minutes before shutting down with the yellow light blinking. The case is reading 98*F.

I got Frank at Quark on the phone and told him what was going on and that the unit I got was already a replacement for a defective unit. It really sounded like he didn't even want to deal with it. He just told me to fax a copy of my receipt to them and they would give me a refund. What's up with that? The problem is that I don't know where my receipt is; besides, I don't want my money back, I want an esc that works.

I suppose I'll have to do the "mod" and hope that's the problem. As is stands now, my modded MM is head and shoulders above the Quark.
