FET Installation pictures

I've tried to search for detailed hiquality pictures of exactly how the FETs are soldered on but to no avail..

Does anybody have high resolution pictures of exactly what the solder points are? or have a basic diagram? I have over 2000hrs of super fine pitch soldering practice so I think i can handle these but I just don't know exactly what to solder where.

Also, are there any electronic stores in the Toronto area that sell the 3004 or the 7389? I'd like to buy it offline

I'm sure there still is *some* way to fry the esc with 8 FETs, but it won't be easy!!! Remember that the motor pulls the most current at stall, so if you lock up a hot motor with something like mass amounts of dog hair or a stone between the pinion and spur, you could pull too much. Nothing I'm going to worry about, cause I'd just replace them again

i really don't know how they did it... the guy that did it told me that he put some spacers in between the board and the small prongs that you put it on... i must say that it is a tight fit...

I know someone who tried a PLASMA DASH and burnt one of the IRF's. He had an 8 fet setup. Now I'm tryin to fix his esc again!!
