Hey Jshwaa, I couldn't contact you via email, but what I'm trying to say is that I didn't mean to get under your skin with all those questions, it's just that all those principles you mentioned were new to me, I hadn't really been taught that stuff, so learning it here was a bit difficult. I didn't mean to insult you or anything, if I did then I'm sorry.
So, anyways, I hear that there's already a regulator in the Xmod board stock to keep sensitive components safe, but the FETs for the motor and steering system are grounded....so, I'm thinking, perhaps we can just upgrade the stock reggie or something?
Also, I was talking to dirtjump9 yesterday, and an idea he had was to install, say, a 220uf or a 4700uf capacitor onto the batteries. This way, when the car is turned on, the capacitor will charge up from the batteries, and when the throttle is punched, the capacitor would dump all of the stored voltage into the ESC at once, and then it would fade out, but the car would already have started going in motion....it's more of an idea for acceleration purposes...after it's done boosting the speed, though, it could put a strain on the ESC and slow the system down or something....but since the car would already have gained momentum, there wouldn't be much of a noticeable difference anyway. It's just a theory...oh, and you can get this capacitor at
