ok well i have the quark 33a esc and i was wondering if they had something like the castle link so i can program it off the internet...
i dont want to mess anything up by watching the color lights flash.
so if someone knows of a hookup thing to the computer for the quark pro 33a post a link please..
thanks

man.. i would hate to go through programing my esc to get it so i can run 8 cell nimh and mess something else up...

What do you have it set up to run, now?

maxxin2.5

im running all 6 cell batteries and i want to get an 8 cell but i heard you have to change the LVC

and right now im pretty sure it set at Ni-Mh Normal..
i think i need Ni-Mh High

becase the guy that previoulsy owned it said that if i use an eight cell battery i have to set the LVC to 8 cells...

and next to Ni-Mh High it says " Select when the battery is compatible with the voltage in use.Faster throttle response time and increased torque compared to Ni-Mh Normal is selected."

i dont get it...

I did not read anything in the manual about a LVC for NIMH batteries. I have used mine with the same setting for 6 and 7 cell NIMH packs with out any problems. The only time that I have used the LVC is for Lipo batteries.

maxxin2.5

well i am going to 8 cell which is 9.6 v and i heard its the same as a two cell lipo..
i am not sure if i should use the car with the 8 cell but i really want to see the difference..
i will probly take my car to the hobby shop and ask them what i should/could do

My Feedback: (11)

The only reason there is a LVC on the Quark is for whne you are using lipos, if you didn't have the LVC then you could seriously damage the lipos.

maxxin2.5

does the quark esc support brushed motors?

maxxin2.5

so you think i can use an 8 cell nimh with no problem?
because i dont want to fry it..just trying to get an eight cell to work

t9dragon

My Feedback: (11)

Nope, the Quark doesn't not support brushed motors.

I would try it and see.

maxxin2.5

ok well when i get it i will try..

how would i know if the 8 cell doesnt work??
would the car just totally not go at all??
or would it glitch or soemthing?

t9dragon

My Feedback: (11)

Not really sure how you would tell.

maxxin2.5

ahh man.. i dfont want to try unless i know what i should look for or i know what the corrct setting is...

t9dragon

My Feedback: (11)

When running 6-7 cells on my quark there was no difference in how it operated, so I would assume that there won't be any difference if you were to run 8 cells.

maxxin2.5

well ill try it i guess..

maxxin2.5

what does it mean when the manual says "select when the battery is compatible with the volatge in use?"

t9dragon

My Feedback: (11)

Where does it say that?

maxxin2.5

it says it on the sixth page.. the last chart on page 6...
it is battery selections.. the choices i have are manual, lipoly high, lipoly normal, nimh high, and nimh normal..
it says that next to nimh high..

t9dragon

My Feedback: (11)

What setting do you have it now?

maxxin2.5

i have it at nimh normal

My Feedback: (1)

You'll be fine running 8 cells on NiMH normal.

maxxin2.5

are you sure??
becase i am reprograming it right now and i can reset it to nimh high...
