Default Project: Dream Evo

hello guys. before i start the project you must hear the story of how it started. ive been obsessed with xmods ever since my first one which was an infiniti g35. so recently i tried to build the fastest ar ive ever owned. lithium, ball bearings, the whole 9 yards without any PCB upgrades or GPM except the stilleto. the FETs ended up frying due to extreme racing and heat. ive recently been trying to think of something to do with it since i ripped out the xmods PCB so i figured why not build my dream car! The car will be an Evo 9 (GSR or MR cant decide yet) with white paint, charge speed front lip, maybe a rear diffuser, burnt tip exhaust, carbon fiber roof, trunk and hood, and to top it all of it will be sitting on limited edition VOLK TE37 wheels (black with red outline). as for the chassis and electronics. i will be running an Iwaver PCB with an atomic stock ball bearing motor and a stilleto chassis with lots of gpm. as for batteries i will be running 2S2P packs.

picked up the tools i will need:

if you get a iwaver PCB make sure you resolder all the wires, they're known to come loose. and if nothing else you can pick up a used AM mini-z board off mini-z racer for $20-25. but looks like a good project have fun with it

if you buy them off the stores new they'll be way over priced, i bought the one i had in my MA-010 for $20 shipped off a guy on MZR. but $22 for a new iwaver board is a pretty good deal, normally they go for $30-40 shipped. just be sure to resolder all the wires before you onstall it or else in a little bit you'll have a field day trying to track down broken connections

No need to stack or upgrade FETs for PN Speedy motors.. they will run fine on stock ones, however if he doesn't plan on stacking them, I always like to upgrade the initial stack, but no need to with the iwaver PCB.
