ok gang, review number 1!:p
i got one of these placed in my sweaty little hands by the man himself today. he gave me a quick but thorough lesson on where each wire goes and it seemed to make sense. so i thought about installing this turbo into my slowest car, but i thought “let’s go for gold! so i cracked open my fastest bit (my ferrari) and performed some minor surgery!
THE TEST SUBJECT:
enertec chassis
dual 150mah nicad
lxx 2 speed pcb with IRLML2502TR fets
zz nos motor
7.1:1 gearset
installation was simple, and as this replaces the 4 drive transistors they can be completely removed. so now i can use those fets on another board or fet the steering. i checked a few things before installation for a before and after comparison.
i did the patented hold the rear wheels trick and go forward. previously the car would turn til the nose pointed straight down. after, it pointed 45 degrees further! vast torque increase!
next i took it outside and i can safely estimate a 10 – 20% increase in boosted speed and a 30 – 40% increase when unboosted. this is definately due to the massive increase in torque.
before, it was difficult to get a wheelie out of this car as it has a low centre of gravity. after it was difficult to get a wheelie out of this car as it has so much torque it just flips onto it’s back when you go reverse then forward!:shock:
i checked the motor temp periodically through the run and i didn’t notice any increase at all, which is a good sign that motors won’t die quickly.
so in summary, you’re gonna hafta pry this outta my cold dead hands if you want it back ph2t! absolute killer mod, me want many more!!:p:8ball:
