New Quark ESCs in March!! - Page 3 - RC-Monster Forums

It seemed to run very well on a race track until I had a problem with the motor. I used a Feigao (I wasn't quite sure about the exact model of it because it came with the Gorillamaxx G2R chassis that I bought used. And I forgot to ask the person about it) on 14 cells (Maxamps 4200 Mi-mh). And the gearing that I used was the stock gearing of 68T spur and 19 pinion. It has a lot of neat functions. It provides 64 different settings of traction control and overdrive function which gives the motor very high output. There are 4 new brake modes with 100 steps in each mode including professional ABS brake, Artificial Intelligence automatic brake, and semi-auto brake. It also has 32 step voltage limit function and internal multi-protection function which allows us to check temperature, voltage, signal, motor mal-function, and setting. It seems to be more thoughtfully made than 125B because it has built-in heat sink and a fan. It basically runs cool.

If you buy a SSB-mk01, you have to add UBEC.
But with SSB-mk02 and mk03, you don't have to.

what about start up, is it smooth, worst or better than mamba max ?

shawn197 · 02.23.2008, 02:12 PM

It's very smooth, but I don't know anything about mamba max since I've never used it before.

Shawn live in seoul... I have tried to get one by myself few month ago, all website selling it are written in korean, I guess early product model were kept for internal market

I think it will be out shortly in the US this Spring. I use it for my associated TC-4 touring and E-maxx. But I am thinking of getting a bigger and more capable ESC such as MGM compro, one that can handle extremely high voltage for my E-maxx. However, I think for racing purpose, I think it is one of the most intelligent and capable ESC out there.
And another thing I want to say is that get SSB-mk03 and it will work very well for your big truck purpose.

I found the ESC on a couple of websites. Of course, they are all in Korean. I used a currency calculator and it looks like it retails for about $320.00 or roughly 298,000 won. I will probably pick one up as soon it is released here.

I want to say something about the pricing.
If Quark sells a product in the us for $275, they sell it for 275,000 won. So basically, what I'm saying is that the currency calculator won't work for the Quark products. They will simply match the numbers. This explanation is out of my experience. And I am pretty sure that the most expensive model of SSB-mk series which is SSB-mkIII will sell for less than $300. And that's for the combo which include the program box. I want to add that it is simply the most capable and intelligent BL ESC in the market period. I am sure that there will be so my winners of major racing events of the world who use Quark SSB-mkIII. I am that confident about this product. But for you monster truck lovers including me will have to buy SSB-mkIII. mkII and I won't be that impressive in spite of all the amazing functions that they have.

Lets hope you are right about that price. I could swallow that. The same price as the 125B but more capabilities and the programing box.

Someone mention Max-cim? I found that they do still have a website, and a UK dealer too.... only trouble is the motors come in two flavours- 1450kv and 2500kv (not so bad really), but they cost £160 each.... ouch.

I would say the SSB mk03 combo version will sell for less than a 125B in the U.S. 125B's were $400 AUS at my lhs, but the mko3 with program box was $340 AUS when I looked at them a couple of months ago.
A guy at racing used one in his Kyosho ST-R truggy with a plettenburg maximum with fan and 2 trackpower 4900's (4s) for a month or two, but last race meet he burnt it out during practice, and he left before I got a chance to ask him more about it. Another guy that I haven't seen for about 2 months tried one in his losi 8t with I think a 7xl on 6s just for testing, but I'm not certain. He hasn't raced with it, because he couldn't get it to work with his align 600xl.

hey Patrick, just out of curiosity, which LHS do you think is the best in Perth?

I don't know if it's the best, but I've pretty much only been going to Perth RC on Stirling street for the last couple of years. They used to have more maxx related stuff than some other places, and I've raced in the e-maxx class with 3 of the people that have worked there. (only one guy is still there though - Aari).

Hi guys,

Yes, I know Perth RC. They're pretty helpful. they sell a lot of plane & heli stuff too. Bought my Futaba 9CHP & an OS Vspec from them on a whim last year when I was visiting. Went to the one in Murray street but got no service from them.

Regards,
Joe Ling

Has anyone heard anything on these controllers recently?
