ok when u guys install the fets
first take the batteries out… 1 killed 2 fets cause i was too laszy to take the batteries out…after full throttle for half a second then touch the fets to ur bottom lip..if u burn urself, theyre not installed correctly..check the solderjoins…
then gradually throttle for longer periods of time till ur sure theyre good… -

I got mine right first go 🙂 I found that if you glue them in a stack, then place a zip tie around them, it makes soldering easier.
An idea for a simple heatsink…use a piece of solder wick, soaked in solder, and solder it onto the 3 common outputs. Makes the job easier.Remove the big block thing on the pcb (the black thingo) and solder on the stacks.
Be careful desoldering the chips, i managed to lose 2 pcb pads and man it was a headache, i had to retrace the Tracks on the pcb and solder flying wires.

make sure u test the fets by touching them to ur lip..if they burn you, they havent been soldered correctly… -

Now That I know what to do, all the tricks and stuff to get it right, i rekon i could give it a shot Josh. My car ain’t flying cause the servo gear is broken again and I don’t have my plasma dash motor yet.
GT, i didnt have any problems with the stack getting hot, i just checked all the connections with a Multimeter and its all sweet.
