According to the manual for the Quark 80 ESC that I used, the built-in battery eliminator circuit (BEC) only works up to 4S (14.8Volts). I am running 5S (18.2 Volts). To run 5S or 6S they recommend using an external Battery Eliminator Circuit, and cutting the red wire from the ESC to the receiver. Basically they are saying the built-in BEC can't guarantee a steady 6volts if you are feeding the ESC more than 14.8 volts.

Since I didn't have a BEC laying around and my hobby shop doesn't sell them, I used a receiver pack from an old TMaxx instead. I'll get a BEC after pay day.
