i tried a 12 turn hand wound motor just to see how long the stock FETs would last.
"HOW LONG DID IT LAST, PHIL?"
lol, long enough to get to about 40mph and kablam. fire.
anyways, i am looking for another motor (as specified above), however, i need to do a FET upgrade first. the li-ion seup is feasable, thank you for the link. btw... i just earlier experienced a bit of crappy reception, maybe about 30 feet away, and it would studder real bad. i took apart the reciever and replaced the antenna wire, and checked the resistance of the 2 resistors... (holy redundancy batman.....) and the both of em are fine. my batteries SEEMED fine, although they may have needed a charge. maybe ill be ordering parts soon.
