Nice indeed, does the capret cuase your wheels to fly off often. Seems like posi-grip doesn’t hold up to the carpet tracks I run on. (I’m assuming your wheels are similar to the xmods…Admittedly, I’m ignorant as to how mini-z,I-waiver, etc. are constructed)

Here is a link to an electronics distributor that carries a 20mm 5V DC fan.

It appears that this fan could possibly plug into the ‘light kit’ plug on the EVO. Is there any hope of that? WOuld it provide sufficient power? Just a though

Thank You. I love ’em. Feel free to pm me w/ pics of upgrades and new modifications. My pm explains why :topstuff:

(Sorry we got off topic ph2t)

That’s a very clean piece of muscle BludyYank…would you mind pm’ing some more pics to me?

Thank You BludyYank…much appreciated.

so what exactly did you wanna know?

Actually, it was one fan in particular that someone had linked to. I read the post – followed the link – and thought, “Hmm…I’ll remember where this is.” (famous last words) And now I’m searching for it again.

I was just wondering if someone else read it and remembered where it was. For all I know, it could have been posted a year ago. The specs from ph2t’s fan sound intriguing…any pics on that?

Thank You BludyYank,
I have tested them at the contact point first…then I tested at the top of the uppper fet’s leg. (My mentality was: if it were properly soldered to the contact pad, then there would be a reading) However, this does bring up the question…why do only some of the legs register on the my multimeter? I have an XMOD EVO that is still fully stock (as far as electronics go anyway) that I have been using as the fet’s activity ‘blueprint’.
(in the meantime, I’ll be searching the forum to see if it’s already been exlplained; unless if somebody wants to just ‘give’ me the answer and promote my laziness! J/K :smiley16:)

And yes, I also have had to dig deep into the board to make contact, and even make my own traces due to self-inflicted damage…I feel your pain from scrapping other-wise good pcbs.:smiley6:

Thank You for the reply and kind words on my soldering butch.

Yes they are the IRF7324 and the IRF9910. I placed each of them in the proper places w/ the ‘dots’ facing the correct direction according to ph2t’s FetInstallationGuide

I don’ think they are blown b/c I have tested each of their little legs. Of course, not all of them give of a voltage reading, but they don’t do that on my other xmods either.

This is why I ‘think‘ (famous last words) that it is something to do with the board…but I really don’t know. In the past I have had ‘traces’ burn in two which was easily fixed and readily identifiable…but this is something else :huh:

I understand that it’s hard to help w/o fiddling w/ the car for yourself…I was just hoping someone would know off the top of their head what would cause such a problem.

Here are some pics of my EVO’s board: (ashamed of soldering skills:blush: )

Here’s the underside of the board.

EDIT UPDATE:
I’ve been working on this for about 3.5 hours now. Earlier, while I re-checked the fets’ connections again (each little leg at a time) forward/reverse, I realized that one of my stacked fets had a tiny seperation…I touched up the solder job and now I have reverse. Being inspired, I re-examined all the remaining legs but found nothing else ‘visibly’ wrong. This is very frustrating as I have been going from point to point on two seperate boards-checking voltage-forward-reverse-making a note on it, then moving on to the next.

I wish I knew exactly how to trace power from the batt’s to the motor connections; perhaps then I could find out why my negative connection point doesn’t register. The board is very confusing to my untrained eye.

Back to the fun…
