if you ever find yourself interested in adding lights again.. and want to prevent shorts... you may want to consider shrinkwrap around your turbo board...
anyway... by how much does your run time decrease with this much draw? just curious, because i'd like to know how many sets of rechargables i should have on standby should i attempt this and attend a competition... `=]

I'm still trying to figure out how to heatshrink the board while keeping the heatsink tabs on the transistors open. As for run time, I ran it for about 15 minutes this weekend with no issues (transistors never even got warm), then the following night for a couple of minutes, after which the entire car went dead. I haven't had a chance yet to tear it down and find out what went wrong. I did get a chance to line up against other XMods, and found that I was still significantly faster than others who were running stage 2 (drag or drift) motors (I am running a stage 2 drag with timing advanced). Runtime won't decrease with this mod, as it is just an "enabler". It doesn't really provide much of a performance increase, it simply allows you to run a hotter motor without worry.
