Quark fried, blown capacitor... - RC-Monster Forums

AAngel- bummer man. I take it you can put it back to stock still, and solder the old caps back on too. Worst case is S&T warantee it and then you can sell it when you get it back.

The KZM are nice. 0.028 ESR, the Nichicon's are 0.060 ESR. I wonder what the stock caps in the Quark are?

If I can find a supplier, I would use Nichicon HC 35v/220uF (0.026 ESR), the best I have found is a minimum order supplier of 600. :005: :024:

Wow, you are just @$$ backwards in terms of what other ppl have experienced here AAngel! :005:

I have never had a MM, but I know my Quark was glass smooth and smooth torque start, never cogged.... until, well you know.

Then everyone is saying that the MM coggs alot with some setups, and is not very smooth. But you sure are having some good luck with your Mamba now! So you're sure it was the caps that made a difference then?

I been having great luck with the Mambas too! I ran a 7XL for a while in 1/8th buggy on 4s (14/46 gears), but it runs too hot (not the mamba though). Went to 8XL (motor still running pretty hot) and both are very smooth and mamba is very cool on the 8XL. I can run very smoothly even at low speeds and have NO cogging, even rolling backwards then going forward will cause a bit only sometimes. I have more cogging with the mamba 5700 in my MT2 running on 3s, still only if I try. That rig really pushes the mamba motor to the max at 5 pounds, geared for 50 mph+. Of course I can say nothing about the Quark as I never had one (33a one in miniLST runs real smooth and cool, though).
