    What can I say…1.3’s a beaut…

    Imagine…with the mosfet driver technology, you can turn the FETs on at a high voltage…..I wonder how they’d work with a SuperSlick/Epoch and a regulator…:D

    So, when will these be avaiable for sale? How much will they cost?

    lol, that’s the last thing he wants to do….

    just checked it on the tammy speed checker, clocked in at 47kph/29mph!..

    betty, the motor issues are gone now man! I wound a 28 turn @ .4mm on a plasma dash armature, plasma magnets, bb can and modified carbon brushes. it’s land speed is now faster than when you last saw it in it’s prime dude.

    cheers,

    ph2t.

    ph2t, how come you never did any mods similar to these to your MR-01 when ya had it?

    Uhh…guys?

    driving in reverse… is it gimmicky or does it work well?

    At a slow speed, it looks as if it’s drifting, at a higher speed, it goes straighter (front wheel drive), so the turning radius is bigger…I think it’s pretty cool though, just flip to reverse and back to forward in a split second, and you swing out the rear, slide a bit, and resume driving…that is, on the proper, smooth, not-too-grippy surface….You should get one, though…they’re fun.

    what does this “drift” button do?

    It’s a switch, not a button. You reverse the body top, switch to drift, and it’s Front wheel drive, with steering in the rear. It looks as if it’s drifting.

    How fast is the xtra speed???

    Can’t tell yet….I have to get other stuff, like a replacement 1st servo gear, a PN Racing pro modified motor pod, and other stuff…

    dgs73, it’d cost you 121.4 USD (174 AUD) to have the setup I have right now…If it was a “real” Z, then it’d cost about 50-70 USD more (72-100 AUD)…

    note: The Xtra Speed High Performance motor and the X speed are not to be confused….

    this is the Xtra speed high performance motor:

    -Kyosho clear blue chassis
    -Xtra Speed high performance motor
    -Bearings
    -Ball differential
    -Alluminum lock nuts
    -Stock Iwaver h plate/motor pod
    -2×2 SI4562DY FET stack
    -Delrin Servo gears
    -IC-3 batteries

    Next steps are the PN Racing Pro Modified motor mount, rear roll shocks, an alloy 1st servo gear, a Woah Nelly turbo, and maybe a bigger pinion.

    no challenge…Why go with a Woah Nelly with a car that has 2.4V worth of power going thru it? The FETs in Woah Nelly were designed for the lowest RDS on at 4.5V, SS’s are about 2.4V…good for biff’s. If you were add 2 more batts to the SS to bring it up to 4.8V, then you could possibly…OH wait, you were talking about your VOLVO…nvm…

    no im not doubting them being the right fets as much as im doubting ur general intelligence “SuperSlick CAN be FET modded” of course they can.. ny thing can be fet modded otherwise it would never have been able to drive in the first place

    You just can’t live without shitty typing and constant slagging, can you? 😯

    Thanks jamie…

    Anyway, I’m doing away with the P channel FETs…

    If you look at some bit modding diagrams, you’ll notice that they use all N channel FETs in their h-bridges, but some are rotated, so that the FET’s drain pin goes to the source pad, and vice versa…I’m going to apply this principal to what I’ll be doing with the SS h-bridge, since N chan FETs have a lower resistance and crap…

    Tomorrow or the day after, I’ll place an order for the N chan FETS from Digikey…Man, I can’t wait to get this done!

    Betty, when did I tell you to start messing with cars based on my research? I’M the one who’s going to mess with these cars…..

    merc blue, do you even HAVE a superslick? Back off, if they aren’t the right transistors, then why are their drain pins connected to the motor wires (yellow and purple)? Let’s hear this one.

    This thread’s been hijacked like a phucker…lol…let’s try to get back on topic…

    ph2t, how’s progress on 1.3 so far?

    UPDATE: If you look at the first pic in this thread, (top side), in the red circle, the transistor on the left needs to be replaced with an N channel, and the one underneath connected to the same motor wire/trace can be replaced with a P channel… I haven’t tried this yet though, I just assumed that since the tranny on the left had a black wire traced to it’s source pin, then it can be swapped for an N channel FET, and the one right underneath that transistor (connected to the same motor wire as that stock tranny) is a P channel…just a theory for now, I have yet to test these little babies….

    Kitsune, thanks mate, it helped a lot….and so did the heatsink theory….

    ph2t, you really love using those initials dontcha? lol….

    As for the higher voltage theory, I’ve seen pics of MR-02 PCBS and MR-01 PCBS, and I’ve seen that black box which states the voltage on it….the MR-02 says 10V, the MR-01 says 6. I don’t see this box anywhere on the Iwaver however, so I’m not going to make up shit about how much voltage the Iwaver can handle and other stuff….

    Jshwaa made a regulator mod which puts out 5V on the output pin, and allows the full 16V to go to his motor/FET system….But, according to ph2t….meh, forget it, I’d better test my theories before I spread em…

    kitsune, when did I say anything about the nelly 1.3 deluxe? All I said was “yay, more room for extra batteries”, when did I say I wanted a deluxe?

    And I’m not really going to “come in get it”…Hell, I’m in the US! I’m buying one from him….

    Whatever man….ph2t, good luck on building 1.3, I can’t wait to see the results…Man, it’s gonna be SMALLER….wow…:shock:

    EDIT: ph2t, how come you haven’t tried putting a heatsink on the FETs?

    BTW, if it’s not too much to ask, do you have some pics of how you put together the Woah Nelly? I.E. the board, the case, both sides of the board, yadda yadda?

    Thanks! 😀

    Bearings for 10.50 USD? Alluminum lug nuts for 7.10? Sounds like a good deal…what’s the shippng price?

    Too bad I already ordered both those items from RCmart… 🙁

    Ok, some quick news.

    Development on Nelly 1.3 has started. :p

    Nelly 1.3 will be approx 10% – 20% more efficient than Nelly 1.2

    Nelly 1.3 will also be SMALLER than the Nelly 1.2 turbo.

    more to come……:smiley2:

    :approve:

    ph2t.

    It will also probably COST more….:smiley2:

    Anyway, have you found some new FETs for the turbo? If so, what are they?
