Bump to the question above.

Anyway, Im loving the Scion EVO. Nicely built RC..... I wish the damn things were not going extinct!!! I've been calling every "Shack" I know, trying to see if they have any Xmods + upgrades... usually with ZERO luck.

So, the FET not being properly soldered is not going to pose a problem for the electronics board and cause over-heating, or something along those lines?

It would make it race legal in some areas.. Since some places don't let you run reverse.. And you don't need to reverse in a race..

Since the reverse FET might not be properly soldered, would it be ok, to run the Atomic Evo Chili motor?

I also bought a Scion tc, with 3 upgrades at the shack.

I thought this was the problem. Thanks.

Yeah, I didnt cut the heatsink off. I'll do that tonight. No, I have yet to install the new motor, I wanna work the kinks out before that happens.

Anything to explain the "no reverse" problem? Possible FET connection problem? I might try adding some solder to the legs to see if that'll help.

So, just going foreward the new 2x2 FET install is great! I also performed a battery switch bypass..... just need to get the heatsink off and correct the body and motor problem. I cannot completely screw the chasis on because of the motor being pressed to tightly against the gear.

I feel your pain man. My mom's paypal account is all screwed up, and I can't use it for anything. :cry:

man... i'd buy a gen 1 if i could... it's just i arrived on the scene a couple years too late... i'd buy one online, but i'm not allowed to...

you say it runs really fast now with the new motor, but your still running regular batteries, aren't you? just wondering. i was thinking of buying a new motor and i couldnt decide whether i should go with the chili or something a lil less expensive like a pn racing motor.

anyways, welcome to the forum.

You might have forgotten to cut the metal heatsink that goes under the electronics package. Otherwise the top of the FET stack will contact them. ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome! I installed my 2x2 FETS, and now the damn thing dosent want to be put back together properly! I cant even go in reverse! What the hell did I do wrong? The biggest problem is the chasis and everything are not fitting right. I cant even screw the rear chasis all the way in because it's too damn tight on the pin gear. What should I do?

It's fast as heck now, but that dosent mean a thing when the internals dont fit properly.

Nice to see a fellow OKIE around here. Bring it to our race and we'll dyno it.

Welcome to the forum, glad to see you're going old school!

Still doing one? Go check the thread I have at XMS.. And what happened?

true dat true dat
