MGM article on voltage under braking & lipo quality

[zeropointbug]

Well, before I got these G3 35C 4200 packs, I have been using a 7s1p, and 7s2p A123 packs in my revo running a 1512/3D/F on a Quark.... and when I modified the Quark last week I noticed that the internal caps leads were blown/melted right off the board! Only the externally soldered on caps were doing something!

After I did the cap bank mod, I for surely found the brakes to be different, the motor sounded different under braking (think the buzzing noise).

So now with this Quark mod, and some very low resistance packs (G3/35C), it should be golden now.

I never actually looked at the whole article, were they talking about ESC destruction and/or battery damage? I am assuming the former.


BrianG, I am wondering if I should make another larger cap bank on the Quark in a reciever box (asthetics) with the 'no-spark mod? It can't hurt right, lower the system resistance further, can only be good for everything I would think.
