Quark capacitor voltage?? - RC-Monster Forums

Dafni · **Quark capacitor voltage?? -** 04.29.2007, 07:18 AM

Does anyone know the voltage rating on the Quark 125B capacitors??

How is the S&T warranty service?? Is it hard to get a replacement unit from those guys?

Thank you
Daf

Daf;

Niels had a broken quark 125, he only needed to sent them an email and it was set. they shipped a new one right away.

IIRC, the caps are 25V.

You smoked one?

I thought someone said they were 35V, not for sure where, but if i find it i'll link it

Nope, they are 35v. I looked when mine was open. 25v would be useless I think, they would just pop.

Yeah, they are 35v. I remember that when I did the internal epoxy mod a loooong time ago.

Yah, did you kill a cap. in it? I DID! :019:

Check my other thread.

No, I've never broken any ESC - yet.

WOW... Just today I killed my MGM Compro 12012 (capacitors blew). A week or two ago I killed a Mamba Max, and a couple weeks before that I killed my first Mamba Max.

I would probably cry if I broke an ESC.

Funny you should mention about the blown capacitors though, ZPB just had one of them on his Quark blow...

Let this day be known, be known to be a cursed day! :010:

I've blown two ESC's in my "RC career." I blew an EVX after a few runs, which got replaced for free. Then, somewhat recently, I blew my HV ESC doing speed runs with my HV4.5. ESC got replaced for free - and now I'm upgrading to a MM (MMM when it comes out) and a 1950 :D

BrianG · 04.30.2007, 09:53 AM

LOL, I blew something as well, but not really R/C related. I had built a variable loading circuit and wanted to test the power-dissipating properties of the heatsink. Wellll, let's just say that a TIP3055 transistor (rated for 10A) cannot pass 25A. :) Literally blew a hole in the casing of the device. But I didn't care since I was just playing around and half-expected that.

that's some funny stuff brian.
i also broke 2 mm's a while ago.
