When for monster maxx?

[crazyjr]

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

[gixxer]

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]

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)

[BrianG]

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.

[gasshead]

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]

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.

[captain harlock]

Just like ESC. Haha!:)

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

[MetalMan]

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

[suicideneil]

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

[crazyjr]

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