Not trying to argue or convince you, but untill this recent change at Quark I had not heard of a single person that had a problem with quark service. As a matter of fact they were praised by many as being better response than Castle and just about any bad esc was replaced with little to no questions asked. And I certainly didnt hear of any unusually high number of Quarks going bad. As a matter of fact I personally think they were one of the more reliable and best fuctioning controllers out there. Yes they had their quirks, (poor case design for heat, 6s gave some strange issues when the pack was fully peaked) but so far every controller out there does have quirks, and right now you are comparing it to a MMM tht nobody has tested or even seen in real life. I gaurantee there will be some quirks with the MMM also, they just havent been found yet cuz nobody has run it yet. Hopefully Im wrong and its perfect for under $200.

All Im saying is IMO in general Quark makes a quality controller and if the new generation Quarks have the heat issue fixed with the normal stlye heat sink and the fully charged 6s issue addresses, they will be a very solid controller.

Will they sell more of them for use in MT and 1/8 applications than the MMM? Doubtfull. But, if they can come up with a decent support plan for the US market I think that it could be a very nice option.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
