Yeh sure thing bdebde, send me an email and we can get the ball rolling. It is a tricky fiddly mod but I've been working in SMD for a while now so it isnt that much trouble.
You are right about the torque tho. It kicks big time, especially the dual cell. I am currently working on a 3.6v (internal) FET modded booster, should be fun.
I had my dual cell FET booster on my speed checker, running bit racer gears and a 4.0 motor and it was running at 20.8Km/h (thats about 13.4mph in your money) which is absolutely SCREEAAMING for a bit. Torque was a bit low but it builds up to an amazing straight line speed when its on the floor.
I just wonder how the 3.6v will go. I am hoping to run the same gears and have better acceleration.

bdebde email me on bitstuff@dodo.com.au and we can get things happening. Well done on the FET swap mod too, its not easy.

I tried the mosfet modified pcb!!! I used a four wheel drive chassis (2 back halves glued together) with no steering, 3 cells, 2 red zip zap motors and kit racer gears. This thing just FRIES the tires!!! And boy is it fast, gonna have to speed check this baby! I will have to try this in a dual cell with steering and faster motor. I can't wait to see what a single cell modded one will do!

something tells me that as the word gets out, this thread is going to get interesting.
Way to go bdebde

would this mod work for dual cell cars?

OH YES!! and the soldering job is even easier, no wires to run around to the other side of the board. I did that one myself! It is just a matter of removing 4 transistors and replacing with fets. The mod for the single cell proved to be somewhat harder for me. You have to glue 2 fets on the oppisite side of the board and run wires to the other fets. I am giving up on that one for now, and sending one off to micro_Amps for the single cell mosfet mod.

i have a switch in my car (see super accord in the gallery), so i go 1 or 2 batteries. So would i be able to run 2 cells under the single cell mosfet setup? because i usaully run my car at one battery and 2 to race.

I am not sure, maybe micro_Amps can answer that. I would think so though.

Yep, you sure can. The FETs I am using are good for up over 12v and can run more current than you will ever need.
A single/twin cell with a FET mod would be excellent. Nice and powerful on 1.2v and absolutely insane on 2.4v.
What a great combination.

The MOSFET mod in action
 
Well as promised here's some video of the FET Mod in action.

The three cars pictured below have the following:

Silver Compact Char-G S2000, stock TOMY 2.2 motor.
Blue Compact Char-G Skyline GT-R, Perfection 3.0 motor.
Yellow MicroSizer Mistu Lancer,Perfection 3.8 motor. (FET Mod)

And see the video of how they all take off from a stop HERE .

You can now see for yourself the power of the FET Mod.

Cheers,

ph2t.

that is crazy acceleration!

Rcmaniac246 06-08-2003 04:38 PM

hey micro_Amps

can you send me the fets I need to do this mod?
how much to us?

Newark Electronics has the mosfets in the US.

Rcmaniac246 06-08-2003 07:33 PM

the problem is i dont know which one :(

Rcmaniac246 06-08-2003 07:38 PM

how do u jumper them? then i dont need to buy anything ! :D

ph2t 06-09-2003 01:35 AM

Trust me, get micro to do it. You'll kill the board.....
