Well, I can't test on my Quark because the replacement that they sent me blew up.

jhautz, I'm really beginning to doubt whether I know what I am doing. I know the esc is good. I swapped motors and all is well. I went to tear everything down on my setup again, and stripped the set screw on my pinion. I spent an hour getting that out and just got fed up. I packed everything up in boxes. I'm going to see our local boat builder tomorrow and see if he has anything that interests me.

I helped a friend of mine out with his boat. His system is going to be based on a Castle HV controller. I don't remember what it's called, but the thing had 10 gauge wires on it. He's also going to be running a Feigao 8XL. It appears that there won't be as much of a heat problem because of the water cooling. So far it seems like a lot less of a headache.
