Cool, glad to see somebody else has given it a try. How's it working for you?

LithiumXmod,
Can you shed some detail on how to wire up the FET upgrade?

The FET upgrade is working great. Then again i just have a stage one motor with 8 tooth pinion. I have a Pnracing S03 on order, im sure is going to push the fet's. Im still tryin to figure out a way to add heat sinks to keep the fet's cool. SIde mount, maybe? I used CAT5 cable as well, standard kind. As for wiring, look at neurokinetik picture diagram of the fet's. Its self explaintory.

How is it wired back to the car?

Evomod you need to remove the whole PCB from the xmod and unsolder the fet's on the underside of the FCB. I drill a small hole on the side of the xmod, to run the wires from the underside of the pcb to the top. I'm sure there are other ways, but that's how i did it.

If you are really creative with how you route the wires, it isn't even necessary to cut the chassis. Running everything through a hole could provide a much-needed way of providing strain relief, though.

neurokinetik what do you think of pnracing s03 motor?

neurokinetik · #83 12-19-2003, 06:41 PM

Haven't tried one, but it's supposed to be decent, for a 130 motor. If it sucks, at least you have a nice BB can with Neos to stuff a new armature in...

LithiumXmod · #84 12-19-2003, 06:44 PM

Yea, that's true. What kind of motor do you reconmend neurokinetik to take advantage of the new fet's? (stayin to the topic)

neurokinetik · #85 12-19-2003, 06:52 PM

Actually, the S03 is probably a good choice, or else a 35 turn motor that uses 28 Ga wire. That pulls some juice.

LithiumXmod · #86 12-19-2003, 06:57 PM

What motor are you using neurokinetik?

when you guys are done with this modding. can you post a step by step guide to fet upgrading. i kinda understand. but what does it mean by turns in the motor. i have taken a motor apart and seen the inside. and there were three arms how does the wire go around? is it like 15 or something turns for a arm and you move the wire on over to another arm?
