  I think they’re pretty much the same as the old LXX scale racers that ToyEast used to sell.

  Yeah, they look like LXX scales.
  Not fet modable BTW, and quality is ok, but not miniZ standard.
  They are $25 for a reason.

  Actually, the PCB is all new. That might make them Fetable.

  why aren’t they FET modifiable? the pinouts not the same? characteristics different?

  Ultra low gate voltage on the fets, down around 0.4 volts, not enough to turn the usual (high current) fets on.
  And the bridge that is in it is only rated at 2 amps.

  i joined back in Feb, but never really had a reason to venture down here to post. i thought the vid would be cool, so i threw it up for ya. i’ve been meaning to come past more often, but always get caught up somewhere else and forget.
