I think 5s with a fan would work fine.

I would agree with you, but I can't due to the following. Mega recommends only CC ESC's and they have no issues running a CC ESC that was designed to run a 2 pole motor?!? This leads me to believe that the Quark programming has alot to do with it. Worst case scenario, the guys at CC could maybe speed up the MMM a little( ugh, ugh) and I will go that route. We will see....
