I don't think it was voltage that burnt the BEC; it was probably shorted or something and the overcurrent is what blew it.
Makes sense that it works when you use a UBEC (as long as you don't remove the red wire) since you're basically powering the brains via the UBEC. As a matter of fact, I've thought about disabling the BEC circuit altogether so it would run cooler.
Not sure why you don't have reverse though, unless the Tx wasn't calibrated right and/or the settings weren't programmed right.
Make sure your radio throttle EPA is set to 100% (or even higher) in both directions and the throttle trim is set to 0.

When I read " The motor should not be connected to the drive train during programming" I mis understood
I guess I need a wake up call
. But I have the red wire unhooked because it says "OPTO modification must be applied when using batteries above 10 cells Ni-MH or 4 cell Li-Poly. and it shows the plug and says to disconnect the red wire." Am I mis understanding this??
I read here on this forum a thread titled "Quark 125B" by ALL BRUSHED UP. For more info. But I think I am just getting more confused
BTW I have set my EPA on my MX3
