You fit a fuse on the positive battery power lead to the electronize.
Yeah, it's just a straight swap. You have to desolder the relay which can be a pain then solder wires the holes left over, these lead out to the two relays that you are best mounting onto the plastic housing outside.
A featherweight would never be able to put 3.5hp into the ground unless it has magnets and even then, the motors will likely burn out before any meaningful time has passed.

Anyone know of a neat solution to get around the stupid half-travel when using the built in mixing of a Spektrum DX5E?
Re: Team Thrifty /Fifty Build Diary for Bitza
No one?
I other news! I've found the Como motors people are finding popular in Beetle's to really struggle on torque. To the point whereby my Beetle can't actually turn, because the friction from the tyres is too great. So I'm now in the rather odd situation of reducing the grip of the wheels....
What have other people's experiences of these motors been?
Re: Team Thrifty /Fifty Build Diary for Bitza
From what I've read, there isn't a fix for the half servo throws on the dx5i? I do recall somewhere on the net someone actually altering the insides of theirs but I could be wrong.

ive spilled coke inside my dx5e and it didn't seem to help :?
Re: Team Thrifty /Fifty Build Diary for Bitza
Use a mixer in line with your drive channels on board the robot and keep the dx5 mixing off. most dual motor controllers have a mixing function built in
