Calling all Quark 125 Monster Pro oweners!

[sjcrss]

HotnCold....forgot to read the part about the opto disable huh.....however.....if you don't want to remove the red wire....you can use the dimension engineering sport ubec..and it uses a throttle pass thru feature and the red wire doens't need to be pulled ( ie turning off internal bec).....that is what ubec im running and it works flawlessly as well

[wallot]

I just use short servo extension with red wire removed.

[sjcrss]

Yup, I used to use that ol trick as well.....it works good too

1. Are you pleased with the performance of the Monster Pro ESC?

I am very pleased, super smooth esc

2. If you have the RC-Monster heatsink, was it difficult to install? Pictures?

I run radio shack copper heatsinks. With my setup I really don't need them though, the esc stays below 85f

3. How would you characterize programming difficulty?

very easy!

4. Have you had any experience running 5S with the Monster Pro? Any problems?

No problems with 4s or 5s. Also it stays cool with an hour of constant running.

5. Are there any alternatives that are better than the Monster Pro? Why?

IMO, it is the best esc available right now. With the Tekin R1MT and CC MMM coming out the Quark might take a back seat, but then again, they have the Plasma coming out too...

what are copper heatsinks and how are they compared to the one mike sells.

I use THESE. They work well with my aplication, they might not for everyone though...

1. Are you pleased with the performance of the Monster Pro ESC?
Very much so. Smooth as silk running and no cogging even at very low speeds.

2. If you have the RC-Monster heatsink, was it difficult to install? Pictures?
Heatsinks installed were customized for each install (2 Quarks).

3. How would you charatcerize programming difficulty?
Read the manual and you will have no trouble.

4. Have you had any experience running 5S with the Monster Pro? Any problems?
Highest cells count so far has been with 14 cells and 4s.

5. Are there any alternatives that are better than the Monster Pro? Why?
Define "better". IMO, the best controller out right now. Some controllers have better programmability (MM), some handle higher voltage (MGM, BK Warriors), some handle higher current (MGM, Warrior), but the Quark has my vote for all-around best ESC. There are a couple of "issues" like heating up (add heatsinks), very shaky 6s capability, and no reverse brake.

Thanks. Good info to have. I ordered a Quark 125 from Mike and it shipped today.

plus it looks the coolest out of the speed controls (125).

word. The first time I saw it I was like uuhhh, uuhhh..... uuhhhhh. :018:

[neweuser]

I love my Quark, it's smooth. What helped me with programming is having one person read as you program. Or, read it several tiems prior to programming. I ran 5s and 4s, it was nice to run on either. I have a customized heat sink for mine, but you can get some good pics off another thread around here some where.

[zeropointbug]

Yeah, the smoothness of the Quark is just oh so "JUICY". That is the best way I can describe it.

:027:

[ssspconcepts]

Well, I just received it in the mail today! I can't wait to install it.

[ssspconcepts]

Here it is......

Thanks Mike....your efforts to ship quickly are very much appreciated.

I ordered on Sunday and received on Wednesday...

[zeropointbug]

Nice :027:
