snellemin, now that I think about it, it might be some sort of copyright infringement. Unauthorized use of software or something like that.

Now for the drama. I've managed to get my Quark to thermal twice today. All I was doing was running around in my front yard. I've run the MM harder for longer periods of time and never had any trouble. I took temps at the sink and along the aluminum case and got a temp of about 115, but when I temped the motor leads, it shot up to 140. I'm thinking that the FETs are a lot hotter than the case is getting. How can this be? A THIRD Quark and I'm already having problems. I'm really hesitant to open this one up to do the "mod," but I don't think I have a choice.

Maybe I should just sell the Quark and the Neu that I have coming back and get into a Lehner and run that with the MM. I just hate the thought of buying a motor from FD, but I'm getting to the point of putting all of this stuff aside and waiting for the technology to catch up.
Nitro?..Easy way?

That really sucks about the Quark. I have just been running Mambas... I don't even know what a thermal is! I tried to get a Lehner from FD, but I asked him if it was in stock first, never got an answer back. If he is just going to order it and I have to wait months, well you know the rest (no patience).
