Well, I was at RC Garage (LHS) tonight after getting the buggy completed & running.
We went out the front for some quick runs on the road & OMFG (!!!) it was like a rocket on just 60% EPA.
Turned a brand new front set of crimefighters into pizza cutters & they have the centre of the tread removed.
Then Nick (the shop owner) had a burn & burn it did when the Quark ESC caught fire!!! A massive cloud of smoke came out as it burned away.
It was quite funny to watch actually.
I'll be having a little chat with Aiden from Ark Innovations on Monday after yet another unsuitable recommendation.
Receiver, motor, battery & servo are ok.
Here's some pics.
Suffice to say, I WILL NOT be putting another Quark in any of my 1/8 machines, they just can't cope.
