I figured Id post this so you others out there that are not happy w/ the temps on their quarks can see if it helps.

I just called Quark to ask them exactly what the torque setting does. They told me that it was just an electronic circut that basicaly just limits the spool up speed of the motor. Its meant as a drive train saver of sorts. And while yes, it will do some to reduce the amp draw, it probably will not have a big effect on reducing the heat in the esc.

After talking w/ him and going through my setup he did make a couple sugestions to help reduce the heat generated.

1) Change to lower Torque setting. I was running Dyanamic.
2) Change my battery type setting to Lipo Normal. I was running Lipo High. He sugested that this should help reduce the heat. It will basically cap the amps that it will allow the system to draw. He also said it would extend run time significantly. I asked him about the NiMH high setting and he said the same thing. If you are running setup inNiMH High and having heat problems to set it to NiMH normal.

I wonder how much effect all of this will have on the performance. Ive kinda gotten used to having earth ripping power on tap.
