I for one am tired of waiting, I just ordered a couple quark 125's for my MT's and might consider a MMM in the future. I need a strong esc now, Sorry Castle

I think I am about to do the same thing. My mamba just died and I want something that can run my nue that has been sitting here for a few weeks. Just hope it runs cool enough.

i feel like an idjet, but what is FET's?

crazyjr 05.31.2007 11:20 PM

It stands for Field Effect Transistor, it essentially switches on and off to deliver power. thats all i really know about them, others will chime in soon and tell how it all works if you want (honestly I would like to read that myself)

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Like their name implies, they control the flow of current through the source and drain terminals (the high current areas) by a field created by applying voltage to the gate. Think of them like a large fire hose. The valve is the gate. The source and drain are in the input and output. You can control a LOT of water flow with relatively little force on the valve. Same thing with a FET.

ok that explanes a lot, the first few times i saw"FET" i thought that every one was makeing up words. but i guess you say it , F E Ts....not fets

BrianG 06.01.2007 09:47 AM

Yeah, it is F - E - T, but most people just say "fet" in conversation.

Most of the time, when you see letters in all caps, it means it is an acronym.

Just like ESC. Haha!:)

And Lipo = Lithium Polymer. How do you guys pronounce Lipo; Lie-po or Lip-o?

MetalMan 06.01.2007 03:41 PM

I've always said Lie-Poe, and cringe when I hear Lip-o. And I say fet, not F-E-T.

suicideneil 06.01.2007 03:48 PM

Ditto & ditto. Lipo is something for lazy rich people who cant be bothered to exercise....

crazyjr 06.01.2007 06:20 PM

Fet is sort of an anagram Like roar is for the racing organisation

gandalff 06.01.2007 08:34 PM
