i got my ms pro yesterday at toys r us and well i thought it be kinda cool to have a boost, but when i drove it i was quite dissapointed, maybe it was just me but that battery is pretty damn weak, i couldnt even get 2 laps out of it. the motors pretty weak to. and the boost button is in a really gay place. overall i was quite dissapointed in ms's product

Speaking of the hetrosexually challenged positioning of the boost button, I couldn't agree more.....

What would be SERIOUSLY nice is a two point contact switch inside the F/R button.

Essentially, what would happen is you push it for normal mode just a little bit, but you push it just a bit harder down, then it kicks in boost mode.

So you eliminate a separate boost button and it would feel more confortable in the hands.

You guys think that is possible?

@extrememicros, someone over at TRC did something similar, where he drilled a hole in the foward button, and moved the boost button there. That seems like a pretty good solution to me.

@PseudoRooter, THANK YOU!! That's exactly what I need.

I would have did the mod before I even posted, except I don't have a 10k resistor on hand, I've got 8 different values of resistors handy, but no 10k. Dammit, now I have to run to Radio Shack tomorrow.

I read the mod translation, however, I don't think I am sure what is the end result based on what I read.

Anyone...?

From what I read, it is running all the time, then when you push the forward button, it is then boosted...?? That can't be right...

Clipping the copper strip, and inserting the jump makes it so it's boosted all the time. Adding the resistor makes it so when you press the boost button it's un-boosted.

The forward button is not involved with the mod.
