how easy to install v2.2?
Well ive been really interested in running lithium and ive been scared about frying my fets because ive read on xmw about people installing liths and then after a couple mins they blew there fets. So i was wonderin if this is common (i have an evo if that helps) and if i should get a v2.2 board with the liths. I dont have alot of money so it would probaly be about a month and a half(my birthday) and how easy is it to install the v2.2 for like a super beginner solderer. One last thing i dont plan on running "hot" motors for awile.

You can use the Lith's without doing the V2.2 board- It is the MOTOR selection that determines whether or not you need the V2.2 board.
The board is a straightforward install if you use the how-to on Atomicmods and have some soldering experience. John |

ive just been worried because ive read from people on xmw about installing liths and it fried there fets.Also if i fry my fets can i still install a v2.2 without having to replace them

Your fine man, you can run an S2 motor with lithiums anyday on any Xmod. I wouldn't worry about it unless you upgraded to a motor that is quicker then the S2. Don't worry about the people at XMW, they're all noob's and they're blowing up stuff cause they dont know what they are doing lol.

The installation of the V2 is pretty easy. The toughest part is the 4 small wires in the middle. I haven't installed it on an EVO chassis yet but plan on doing it soon. The motor you have (FET safe) should be fine. Any motor than pulls 2.0A or higher (no load) needs a FET upgrade or a V2 on a Gen 1. EVO chassis can run hotter motors.
V2 on an EVO (will be installed soon) |

ok lets us an extreme case, ok you have just installed an awd kit, something is out of alignment, causing binding and the car barley moves, then you get stuck on a fly turd and the car won't move. Do you let the throttle go? no I hold it down and try to get unstuck, i do this for a long time, what do you know my motor is **** hot. So i finally give up and go ahead and fix my awd issue and the **** car still won't move, after further inspection I realized I overheated and burnt my fets.... So what happened? All they binding loaded the hell out of the motor, the harder it had to try to move the more current it drew, causing it to burn a fet with stock power supply. That is a true story. Now lets us ohms law voltage divided by resistance equals amps 6volt/6.66ohms=.9 amps normal running motor RS S2 8.4volts/6.66ohms=1.26 amps running normal RS S2 with liths running normal we are just .74 amps away from possibly doing damage, now if something binds or we get stuck it is much easier to burn fets. That is why I always recommend a fet upgrade or V2 with a power supply upgrade. my $0.02 |

1.) We have a few Noob's here and there, but not much.
2.) I'm pretty sure I know more about xmods than most people on here, and I'm primarily on XMW. 3.) Junk-Mod-Er is the only one that blows stuff up. -Get your fact straight... What car is this, Gen1 or Evo? On a Gen1, if you have Neo's becareful with the gearing, as mine blew on my Gen1 when I put lith's in... But the motor was a BB Can, Neo's, and Carbon Brushes, so the Amp pull was raised, then it was geared high and voltage was high, so it blew after running on 150*F+ Asphalt for 30minutes..

117v to a gen1 motor and he only blew the cap...!!! http://youtube.com/watch?v=zVYziIJ_v8k like i said,XMW as it stands is probably your best source for after-aftermarket modifcations(soon to be replaced by the new leader details soon) this site is compiled of mostly full on noobs with the exception of a few very talented minds and they know who they are. #1_05, good to see you got it squared away. cheers, bondo
