Quark 80b and hacker c40 motors

[JCUEVAS]

Jerry2kone you rule! I got an m11 2.4 radio. Everyone says that these controllers are smooth! Smoother than the mm. I have a mm and a mmm. Thought that since this was so pricy that it would put my mm to shame. My hacker motors are 2 pole motors. I'm gonna check over my wires and if I get nothing from that then I will be selling two quark 80b esc's. What is your take on these controllers. Where do they stand in your opinion?

I am just here trying to help out when I can. I purchased the 125b a while ago planning to use it in one of my SuperMaxx projects, but just never got around to it. It is the only Quark that I have, but there are a few guys around here who have used them religiously with great success. Most go through the modification process by adding the Cap bank, which as I stated helps smooth out the voltage for better startups and smoother runs. BrianG or lincpimp can probably help out where that is concerned. Just shoot one of them a PM and they will get back with you on the matter.

As for the Quark ESC I have to check what the 125b and heatsink are worth these days, but I am sure that we can work something out. As I stated earlier I have not used any of the Quarks myself. Some like them allot, and some just have bad luck with them. More than likely due to bad setups and/or poor technical skills from not doing their homework.

Electronics are always somewhat of a gamble even if your setup is right on the money. There is allot to be considered when you get involved with ESC/motor combo setups, and you have to do your research and homework to make sure you get things right the first time and do not have to learn the hard way that your installation was not done correctly. Voltage matchup, Amp draw, motor max rpm, BEC choice, gearing setup, wheel roll out, diff gear ratios, and proper battery choices should all be thought out carefully, before taking any chances with your hard earned money. I have read about allot of guys being pissed off because they could not get warranty assistance, but most of it was because they hooked things up incorrectly in haste and burned up their own setups.
