My Quark died?! Looking for a new controller... - 10.09.2007, 08:57 PM

Hey guys, if anyone has seen my modded Quark controller, yeah, it just was killed in action today! I have it mounted on top of the front shocks on my Revo and I did a flip at speed on grass, then it grabbed the ground a few times, and slip for a bit and while it was doing this I saw sparks coming from something inside! I was running my 7XL this time with 5s2p pack.

The Quark is mounted pretty darn close to the top of the body, so my theory is that the body flexed and came down and push on the esc and did SOMETHING to it to short something out. Afterwards, I notice the motor was locked up a little, it took a bit of force to unlock it... seems to spin fine now. But I tried my Neu on it and still nothing. I don't get a beep, or anything out of it. It smells bad too.

So I am thinking I will go MGM this time around, maybe a HV unit for future proofing?
