How much are you willing to pay for New Quark Monster ESC if they make one.

The Quarks' pricing is a bit inflated for what you get IMO. They do have butter smooth controllers though and they run pretty much any type of motor. I also like the way the startup algorithm works vs the MM. But for more than twice the price as a MM, I dunno...

Brian, have you tried the NEW firmware for the Mamba Max yet?

It's really a different controller now IMO.

Not yet. I know they made changes for the Neu motors, but wouldn't think they would change the starting algorithm... I'll have to check it out.

I believe they have changed the starting algorithm. I tried it before with a 12 pole outrunner setup. All it wanted to do was cog, and act confused on directional control, before it thermally shut down.

Now I'm running my E maxx using an AXI 2926/8 12 turn outrunner. I do have a fan on the MM and a CC BEC being fed by 4S Lipo, 5000mah 20C.

I can't make it thermal, the ESC runs cool. I can't MAKE it cog either. It has great low speed driveability. Even on the very first step of the throttle at the controller.

I pulled a Monster Pro 125 amp to give this a try. I think I'll just leave the MM in there.

It is every bit as smooth now, perhaps even a little bit better.

If you have one laying around, try it and see.

id pay $300-$350.... i personally love quarks. had a 65 in my rustler on 3s and a 80 in a oooold emaxx on 5s. it worked great, vitrually no heat issues in the maxx and was flat out cold in the rustler. motors were a 8s in the rustler and a 10xl in the emaxx.

The price is too much. So how much do you think it should be? And what improvements you want to see in it?
