fet stack on 2.4ghz

quick question guys...

not that i would be doing a fet upgrade anytime soon, i was wondering...

where would one add the fets? on top or at the bottom? i've read that these boards already have 4 3010 fets on them (two on top and two on the bottom)

also wondering what powers the servo/pot? didn't a pair of 3004 fets supply power to them in the older boards? don't see them on the 2.4ghz board...

thanks and appreciate any replies...

Would suggest doing both to avoid a weak link, as far as the steering fets goes.. I'm not sure how the AD bands had it.

4x2 3010 would be pretty good. I remember some guys running T2's and PN S03's on the adband cars so I don't think it would be necessary. The 3010x2 is very smooth.

I remember RUF saying it's digital and didn't need those FET's or somthing like that. Maybe that had to do with the POT?

hmm... do you mean you can run the t2 and s03 on the stock 4 3010 fet 2.4ghz board with no problems? is the ad band board and 2.4ghz board similar?

so i take that it would mean, adding two more 3010 on top and two more on the bottom 2.4ghz board?

Yes, Jo at CRC in Germany had an awd and an MR-02 setup with a T2 on ADBAND

And Roger was running an S03 on adband. The ASF board has the same FET setup as the adband. That's why so many were curious about the FET's. This means you can run some pretty hot motors.

I realized what I typed only when you quoted it. I meant 8 total with 4x2 on each side. I supposed though we've seen the upper limits with normal AM boards(4x2 4562) and I don't think 8 FET's is necessary. At today's cost of 2.4ghz chassis I don't want to be the first to find out if more than 4 FET's cause the steering to go crazy

I managed to smoke a stock AD board running a 33 wind motor (the anima). I can't say for sure what happened, but I'm not about to run low wind motors on my new 2.4 boards with stock 3010 fets.

A single stack of 4562's (4 total, 2 on each side) is enough and that's what I now run on my AD boards for open class pan car.

I don't see why it would be an issue with the 2.4 board.
