Got me a Quark SSB today - RC-Monster Forums

Found a nice deal on Ebay and couldn't resist and one week later it arrived from South Korea.
I love the 80B quark smoothness, and want to see what the SSB version is all about. I'll post my findings once I plug this baby up. The capacitor bank looks interesting. Check out the pics

Looks good, I did not know that it supported sensored and brushed motors...

Is the sensor port the same as a novak compatible port?

snellemin · 04.13.2009, 03:47 PM

The sensor port looks pretty standard to me. Fits my LRP motors, which plug into my LT ESC's.

I'll take some nude shots of the ESC tonite.

I was wanting to carry those things for crawlers something bad. Tis a shame they pulled out of the US.

I found that "good deal" and had to pick one up... For the price it is cheaper than the Novak HV I was going to get to run the HV motors I have...

I wonder how long Quark will be around. The quarkbrushless.com website still has their old line, and sky-technology.net doesn't seem to be functioning. Too bad, they were one of the smoothest (if not the smoothest) ESCs around. I guess they couldn't compete with the newer prices from other manufacturers? I wonder if those "good deals" on eBay are inventory clearances?

Coolbeans man. Shipping is fast with that guy. I'm gonna slap my 3T x12 lrp and 1515 Tekno motor on the ESC and see what it can do.

The Quark korean website is still up Brian. I go there once in a while to drool on the SSB. Well untill the nowing seller on ebay got them for cheap.

Seems to be inventory clearance. Could be that S&T is coming up with a new line.

BrianG · 04.13.2009, 05:29 PM

What's the Korean website URL? I'm lazy today.

snellemin · 04.13.2009, 05:31 PM

I have 4.5 and 6.5 novak hv motors laying around that I plan to try on 4s. Not sure what to run them in, maybe a buggy or the slayer... Might even give it a try in a monster truck with a lower kv sensorless motor and 5s. Not sure if the 6s rating is true or not, we need fet specs!

snellemin · 05:52 PM

The most I used with the 80B qaurk is 6s A123. Kinda chicken to try 7s A123 and blow the baby up. I did use 7s A123 with lutach's 120A 1/10 esc and it worked great.
But looking at that rectifier spec on the Quark cap bank, I am willing to bet that it can do 6s with some common sense.

You swiped the last ESC heh. I only see the combo's left.

BrianG · 04.13.2009, 05:54 PM

The FETs on the Quark 125B were the same exact part number and count as the original MM. MM went with different FETs later on.

snellemin · 04.13.2009, 06:02 PM

I know, but it's cheaper to get a mamba fix for 50 bucks, than buying a new qaurk 80b for 125.

snellemin · 04.13.2009, 07:37 PM

I opened the baby up and can't read the fets.
