uh o, bad battery?

Ok confirmed dead. Plugged it into the ESC it blinked and chirped a dozen times then shut off. The Hyperion was able to read the 4 cells, it said 5.3v, it would not charge saying voltage to low on cell 1, or 4 .. it varied.

So this is a $150 lesson learned. I knew better... been busy lately, it thats any excuse.

So it sounds like if I get a BEC I can go higher than 4S on my Quark 125b. I was sticking with 4S because the quark recommends external rx pack if u go beyond 4s. So all I need is a BEC to go beyond 4s?

I would run a bec if you go over 3s. The internal bec will put out quite a bit of heat, even with 3s. Get a cc bec and disable the internal bec by removing the red wire from the quark rec wire.

General concensus is that the quark is only good to 5s. I run a 125b on 6s in my hyper8 buggy, but it is not geared high, and the buggy is light. So less load on everything.
