I'll be watching.

I almost welded my plugs together on my Ebike and my 19 cap capacitor bank.

I've seen at Traxxas in the parking lot -- Viper ACR, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 430...

And at HPI -- Ferrari Enzo

My Nissan just doesn't compare.

Damn man. Traxxas and HPI are some ballers. Your Nissan is still a nice onroad monster though.

We've been shipping with the new FETs for about two months. But there are still a lot of NTMFS4901 based MMM controllers out there.

How much difference between the old and new FET? Not as much as you might think, because the copper and capacitors in the MMM are the main limiting factors. The power handling difference between the old and new MMM MOSFETs is less than 5%. Add a capacitor pack (like on the Traxxas version) and the power handling goes up by about 15%.

There are new people working at my local hobby shop and they won't let me open every ESC up, like the previous peeps did. I guess, I will have to wait a bit. What are cap values on the Castle cap bank?

Call me stupid, but i dont understand how a pinion change cannot be done without unlocking it? Also can the traxxas radio and reciever just be changed out to bypass the lock?

Oh I would take your GT-R over anything European. Good choice Patrick!

No, you need the app ( and therefore traxxas radio equipment ) in order to unlock full speed potential- can't be done via a PC by itself.
