There’s been so many questions about the mosfet mod.
From where to buy the chips or the mod, who supplies the chips or who can do the mod, etc., etc.
So here’s an article that put’s it all into perspective.
What does “FET” stand for? (as told by Bird)
“FET” is the shortened slang word for “MOSFET”… Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor.
Basically, all of the drive circuits on these cars are controlled through transistors… regular, run of the mill, low-grade transistors… People use MOSFETS as an upgrade, because they have a lower resistance than the stock transistors, and allow more current and voltage to reach the motor… getting the most out of ordinary motors AND allowing you to upgrade to “hotter” motors with higher current/voltage draw.

I am finally getting around to posting this simple tutorial/how to. What we’re going to do is make an AC charger out of commonly available parts with the least amount of hassle. My kind of mod! Since I didn’t take pictures as I was building it, we’re going to deconstruct it. Here’s a picture of the final product:

For ages I’ve been looking for a switch that is small enough to be able to put on my little beasts to be able to turn them ON and OFF.
I know that the car doesn’t really NEED a switch, but hey! that’s never stopped me before. ;)
Basically the goal is to be able to take the battery out of circuit and charge it without any excess current drain from the PCB/lights.

This mod is da bomb. Thanks for PsuedoRooter for turning me on to it, and thanks to Clyston at BitMod.tk for posting this: http://www.universalhost.de/html_bit/antiboost.htm

This is a mod I have done to be able to double the charge time on your controller. It is good for those times when you’re out in the trenches and you need an extra charge. This was done on the Aussie release of Bits known as the Compact Char-G.
Here’s how it is done:

I’ve been doing this method on a few cars now and settled on this being my standard for all my cars when increasing the range. With the method outlined below I can achieve 10 meters (approx 30 feet) indoors.
First of all, here’s my stock MS 49Mhz with a Skyline shell and crapola antenna, it will be the guinea pig for today’s little exercise…
