Got me a Quark SSB today

[SV6000]

I used to have one of these guys and i am sorry to say that it literally lasted about 3.5mins. it was working fine the temps were normal and all of a sudden it stopped and burst into flames. It must of got a short or something. It was the mk-03 version. Now i know what you are thinking and that it was a one off but all the guys i race with all bought one as well and the same failures happened to them in varying degrees. from shutdowns, to letting the smoke out to total meld down. Our LHS stopped stocking them in the end as they all kept coming back. But they might be ok in the lighter drag cars, just dont put your batterys too close

Quark start ups has been as good as Schulze's and when my 125B was working good it was fun, but it let the magic smoke out. I haven't heard much from Quark (Sky & Technology) and would've loved to see these line up of ESC go further then it did. The new ESCs doesn't look as robust as the SSBs.
