Motor / Esc for RC8T-e

[Nard Cox]

Does anyone have experience with a Quark 125B Pro Esc (will search forum now)? Can buy one from a Dutch guy for about 80 euro's. Only used once and with box and all.

Outdated...
Better a few euro more on a MMM V3. 1 year warranty. But best to buy in the US because of extreme price difference with Europe (dollar is getting cheaper and cheaper...). Hobbywing 150A will also do a good job. Althoug large, but plenty of space for it in RC8T and cheap. You'll find it here also in the shop of RC-Monster.

I wouldn't buy a used ESC unless you known the previous owner good.
Several guys here started running a tekin RX8 combo this summer. Motor (rotor problems) are a nightmare. Also ESC's give time by time problems (problems with the print - connections). Terrible long shippingtime for repairments as all needs to be send to Tekin. Last times they even got no answers on emails when they ask for the status of repairments and other questions. Maybe too busy with repairments, solving problems?? Very frustrating....

But when it runs the tekin gives a nice smooth run on low speed... you could use it to crawl... But in racing.... I do not see any advantage as truggies are not meant to be driven... With a decent motor (no Savox... = terrible, but a Neu, Lehner or as a good cheap alternative a Medusa afterburner 36-70 for a truggy) and the very good programm of MMM V3, Hobbywing or MGM compro cogging is not a problem to be noticed. With a Quark, yes, outdated you'll see cogging and most important heating up of the ESC.

Other things to consider:
Castle got a quick good service response.
MGM compro is also quick on response and very quick on repairs as they are situated in Tsjechia. Somewhat higher priced but compared to the US prices for MGM compro ESC's cheap... And 2 year guarantee!!!! Hassle free guarantee and also good advice etc..

Do not save a few bucks by buying used ESC's. If you want to buy on price. Hobbywing 150A, otherwise MMM v3 or MGM-compro. A quark 125 is a no go!
