Default QUARK ESC VS MAMBA ESC

I heard Quark Brushless can handle up to 5s lipo, and mamba 3s.

1. Which is a better ESC?
2. Can Quark 22A really can handle 4s lipo if running with 6800kv?

Thanks a bunch

Since Quark USA is GONE this support would be at a minimum I would go with the Mamba...

Interesting.... That is a cell phone number... We have tried to contact them for a short while with no luck....

Here is what I was told

"Quark Korea desided to cut all ties/communication with us abruptly. Needless to say, no product to sell, no money for paychecks will shut things down fast. There is really no Quark anymore."

Yes that is Joe's cell. I always did business with him. I actually never been to the warehouse so I couldn't tell you whether it's closed or not, but he always returns my calls and sends me my products.

I owned a quark33 not too long ago. It was a nice unit. small, and had a heatsink on it (big plus), but the reason I didn't like it is because it had a funky programming setup. That and some of the features didn't work right. If I didn't have it programmed for brake to neutral to reverse, the brakes would be instant-on at 100%. Not good for driveline parts IMO.

Given that, I probably would go with a mamba instead.
