It sucks that you burned up that quark. I was waiting for someone to do a review of using it in a 1/8. Based on the motor, voltage and gearing I don't blame the quark for failing. I think you would have burned up just about any esc with that setup. I still have hopes for the SSB being a viable 1/8 controller and based on the specs and the success of the predecessor the 125B I still expect that it should be a nice controller for 1/8, but they are virtually impossible to get here in the US at this point and it seems rather expensive everywhere else in the world.

If you are planning to run it on the track with 5s, the 1600kv Medusa motor you linked to would your best choice of the motors mentioned. the 8xl will still run hot for extended runs.

Nice conversion. Hope you have better luck with the next setup.
