Sorry to backtrack but I kinda do agree with Strakka in that, I don't mind pulling stuff apart, seeing what makes em tick then proceed to make them better, faster. But with some of the "fixes" that need to be done to the SE, it's not moddin.... It's fixing crap that should have been done right to start.

For instance, people complain about short run times. Well use a peak charger, or make a stand alone charger. That's cool you're thinking of a better way to do something. That's cool....

But on the other hand, the steering. Turn great one way and not the other with sooo much twitching. Well, cut the jumper on the pot should FIX this, but then you'll have trouble driving straight lines and the steering will be super sensative, then change some transistors towards the motor and put a small pot to measure the correct current, mod some of the tranmitter with some resistors, and find some stiffer springs to get a better return and find the dead spot, shave the steering bar and take apart the front end to align the wheels. That seems a bit much to be able to make your car go straight and turn even. That's a basic trait of a good car, drive straight and turn.

Don't get me wrong, I like the SE as much as the next, and I totally understand that you get what you pay for, but maybe they rushed just a little bit to get a product out that can get them to capitalize on the popularity of 1/64 scale cars. And the job could have been done better so I can concentrate on how to do my own Mosfets rather than how to make a car do a decent circle.

BTW - I do have a fet modded car by uA and it screams on the stock battery. If you're itching for more speed, check it out, or contact me in a few weeks and maybe I'll sell you one of mine.

Sorry for the long winded post.... I'm trying to make up for lost time
