I like the modularity of it.

You could almost build your own ESC....

Hmm, can't wait to get mine! (yep, it was the last one!) I like the look of it, seems well built, but what do I know about that! I will wait until the esc gurus take a look!

If you go to that sellers regular website you can get as many as you want for that price. See the banner accross the top of his auction for the web address. Combos with the motors are $10 cheaper than the ebay price.

If they had the mk03 version with 120 amp rating and switchingg 6s BEC I'd get one too. I've wondered about these for a long time, but with Quark pulling out of the US all together I just don't want to deal with any possible hassle.

Please do a review when you get them running guys. Always wondered if the "next gen" quarks were any good. I still love the way the 125B drives, but the max setting on the LVC of 3.0v is just to low IMO. Hopefully they have this fixed on the new controllers.

FYI, I fixed the spelling in the thread title; it was driving me nuts!

LOL, thanks mang.

Ive seen the new line of Quark ESC, but haven't heard much. I know they're available in Asia. Here is a thread about them: http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...esc-quark.html and http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...hless-esc.html

The ESC is smooth as hell mang. It turns a 2.5 T motor butter smooth. I don't even need the sensor cable.

Hey Linc, in the instruction it mentions a red light....well they meant orange.

I want to see the startup of the 2.5 with no sensor!

I used to have one of these guys and i am sorry to say that it literally lasted about 3.5mins. it was working fine the temps were normal and all of a sudden it stopped and burst into flames. It must of got a short or something. It was the mk-03 version. Now i know what you are thinking and that it was a one off but all the guys i race with all bought one as well and the same failures happened to them in varying degrees. from shutdowns, to letting the smoke out to total meld down. Our LHS stopped stocking them in the end as they all kept coming back. But they might be ok in the lighter drag cars, just dont put your batterys too close

Quark start ups has been as good as Schulze's and when my 125B was working good it was fun, but it let the magic smoke out. I haven't heard much from Quark (Sky & Technology) and would've loved to see these line up of ESC go further then it did. The new ESCs doesn't look as robust as the SSBs.

snellemin · 04.15.2009, 09:41 AM

I was worried about the going up in flames part, just like with any new ESC I get. To see if it does what the ESC advertises, I had it do burnouts on my garage floor with the 2.5T motor. I'll take a vid of it tonite doing the same burnout against a piece of wood. I didn't use the fan yet. Heatsink temps where ok. The heatsink was warmer when I solder up the wires to the posts.

I like how you can adjust amp draw, drag brakes from 0-100% with the potentiometer.

SV6000 · 04.15.2009, 09:53 AM

Yeah i do think i got a dud because i was only doing test runs to see how it would handle the motor. I was doing figure 8s on my driveway when it cogged, stopped and caught fire. NOthing wrong with the motor though. I am sure yours will be fine.

lincpimp · 04.15.2009, 10:06 AM

I am excited, this may be my new buggy esc, not sure right now. I do have a hv4.5 and 6,5 to test the sensored running, and I have plenty of sensorless motors that I can run it with. Need to whip up a tray for the hyper that can handle both 4s and 5s packs...
