And so the plot thickens....

OK then, what about a comparison of the Quark/Nue combo to the MM/Lehner combo.

Quark ($280) + Nue ($250ish for smooth can) = $530

MM ($135) + Lehner ($300) = $435

From a "starting from scratch" perspective the $95 or so difference in price shouldn't really sway anyone, considering the expense of time and money that have already gone into a conversion, so they are about on roughly equal footing.

If you already have a MM (which many do), then it's almost a no brainer. The complicating factor for me is that I like to have two ESCs. You just never know, and I hate my fun filled weekend to be put on hold because a little smoke escaped. For the price of one Quark, I can get two MMs.

I also have to deal with my own personality quirk. I just know myself. With all of the good things I've heard about the Quark/Neu combo, I'll always be wondering if that was the way that I should have gone, if I get the Lehner. From a financial standpoint, it's a matter of spending $300 or $530 and then more $ for the extra esc.

That was really the purpose of this post. I wanted to know how the MM/Neu combo runs, which I now know; and I also wanted to find out if the Lehner is every bit as good a motor as the Neu (from and power and efficiency standpoint). What about the shallow mounting holes on the Lehner that more than one person has commented about? Is it really an issue?
