The new FETs have 1/2 the resistance of the old ones...that is the only change.

That's nice to hear! Less Rdson means less heat for a given current (assuming nothing else like switching speed was changed).

While you're on here, any idea when/if a software fix for slotted-stator motors like Neu and Novak will be released?

It looks like these new boards have heavier copper too, which can only help with efficiency: :)

"Be aware this is the NEW board -- lower RDSon FETs, 30 FETs, and heavier copper.

Thanx!

The Feigao 8XL, the RC-M pinions and other bits have all arrived- still waiting for the Bishop Power Products MM ESC. It's been a couple of months now- I might give up and get an ESC from Mike (MGM?) or OEMRC.

really? you should send Troy (bpp owner) an email. He's usually super fast about shipping, unless its out of stock. And it shouldn't take months to re-stock the MM. Give him an email or call him. He's very helpful and a good guy.


There's two sides to every schwartz, he got the up side and I got the down side.
