Not typing in all caps would help.

From what I read, it seems like you got a fried FET. I dont understand the last part.

Oh joy... More new members with their horrible grammar...

Anyway. Yes, you did fry your FETs. Its possible that you wired it wrong or something. It would help if you had a link or a better description of the lithiums that you used. If you are any good at soldering, then the board is repairable, if not, you might want to get someone here to fix it.

I could give you a better an answer if you were able to explain your problem a little more clearly.

Maybe you didn't solder something well and it shorted on another joint or wire, but kept running after that. Causing everything to be extremely hot and weird. Lithium shouldn't fry FETs. You can buy new FETs on just about every xmods store. My store carries Evolution FET upgrade, if you need it.

ya i am new and im only 14 so that was my only new upgrade i had.

[kendallcschm]

well you did fry your FETs and you'll need new ones.... and when you get batteries get Ni-MH precharged from radio shack they last long and they requier very little modification... and to fix your FETs i would suggest just getting a pro board so that you got the full power of your upgrades

[merc3des]

Yea XI also carries those, and so does my website.

GET BACK ON TOPIC!!!

But i really would like to know what the hole was caused from??

[kendallcschm]

the bats were too powerful for the crappy high resistance FETs therefore they fried :-)

[taiwanesekid05]

I'm guessing that the batteries you bought are crap. They are from Ebay after all.

[XMDrifter]

wow how much more assumption can you get?
well, try
a. buy a new board (xmodsinternational has these, or you can search xmods SKU RSU here on xmodsource to find the sku for ordering a stock board from radioshack...atomicmods is out cuz its so darn expensive) and replace liths with NiMH rechargeables(try energizer AAA's)
b. buy a stacked board from atomic
c. buy a 2x2-2x3 fet stack upgrade(make sure its for the evo) and solder it on(follow the instructions on the atomicmods site. http://www.atomicmods.com/Categories...tallation.aspx
and make sure you don't bridge the whole backside with solder. try to be as neat as possible with this and only solder along each line of prongs.)
d. get a new board and a v2.2. v2.2 instructions are also on atomicmods.com and make sure you follow the wiring exactly

[kart59gtr2driver]

ok thx.

[XMDrifter]

oh i found this on xmoding.com:
it's what happens when you buy ebay lithiums

[kendallcschm]

holy crap!!! thats crazy

[amorton94]

wow! looks like that guy fliped it though and the batteries fried somehow, the front arms are both out thats why i think it flipped

[merc3des]

Yea that chachao guy on ebay (Rc,Express) is a crook. Always selling fake products.

[kendallcschm]

wow these ppl like to jip dont they

[AJB32690]

Well, any liths can do that if you dont treat them right. When I used to airsoft, I saw plenty of lithium fires, and those are worse, because the fire is right next to your arm!

The ebay liths are probably a lower quality, which increases the possibility of fires.

[kendallcschm]

wow lol

[merc3des]

ebay liths are just crappo period. Wrong discharge , wrong resistance and all >.< I've tested
