I just pointed out that your setup sure doesn't prove that point.

Then you say it because the system is so much better than a CC system it will last longer and thus be cheaper.

You do realize that casltle makes one of the toughest systems made (Many at my local track have been running for 2+ years with no problems + you have at least 3 of their setups) and if you have a problem their customer service is second to none + if you burn it up all on your own the have a flat rate replacment of $50 for a mamba max.
That seems like a pretty long lasting and cheap setup to me.

Next you say
"but the question was for why only 7volts."

Yes it is but you never answered that question you just kept posting how HV was better.

I also seem to remember someone saying this about me.

"Lutach, I would have expected this argument from a smoker, Not an electric guy. Either he is a kid that can't afford more than the castle setup (though he did drop 120.00 on a trackpower lipo) Or someone either fresh from brushed or Nitro and hasn't dug deep enough to see the light beyond Castle."

When you assume you make a ass out of you and me!!!

As I stated before I have been in this hobby a long time. I was flying large scale electrics at my club before anyone else and have a lot of experiance with HV setups in them. I am also in the process of converting a 1/8 buggy into electric and I am using a HV setup. I can't afford everything I want but I do OK, and have a couple novak setups, 4 track power packs a FT T4, BJ4, RC10GT2, Revo, lots of planes, a few boats and also collect vintage RC cars!!!

If you are looking for some trully cheap stuff for HV and coversion RC stuff try www.hobbycity.com they have some great deals on lipos, motors and esc's.

I was not looking for an argument but if you state things that seem to be false or misleading don't be surprized when people call you on them.

I said i wouldn't comment on your responces, But there is one thing i got to say. I been talking to a track mate of yours in PM over the last night or two, dgaumond and he told me you and i are the same age and in the hobby for about the same time, though you may have a couple more years of experience. For the kid comment, I apologize

I know how tough the Mamba max is, I run two on fegaio's (7 and 9XL) in MT's with 5s lipo's. I been to the edge and back, with them and both still run great. I just wanted the quark, Because they are warrantied to 6s and before the 3.04 update and the 1.17 MM update, the quark was a bit better in smoothness

The idea of saving money goes to warranty as well, If i run the MM at 5s and blow it, it costs 50.00 and shipping both ways to replace. the quark will be replaced free and shipping back to me is free.

I understand the 2s thing, i have them. You are right about the 400.00 setup, its not for everyone, but i figure "Buy Quality and buy warranty, or buy twice". I'm going back to RC-Monster, The racers here know everything and don't need honest input
