Micro-Mega Amps

OK I just got my SE back from the master, Micro_Amps, and boy does this guy sell himself waayyyy short. He needs to change his name to MEGA_AMPS!!! That's the kind of power I get now!!!
I got it sent to work so I could compare it to my coworkers car right when it came in. We both have SEs that are pretty much stock, run the NX motors but he has the blue gears and since I didn't feel like changing my gears, I ran the red. I figure hopefully the more amps will make up for the torque. When we both started off a dead stop (our run is about 20 ft) I pretty much doubled his distance. There was no torque advantage for him. The next pass, I let him get a head start of about 6 or 7 feet then squeezed the trigger, my car glitched for a quick sec then took off and I still took him. My car pretty much matched his speed within a foot then exceeded and caught. We do run on carpet so I can't wait to get home and hit the hardwood floors. He's sending his car tomorrow. Now that I know what these things can do, I'm disappointed in how they come stock.
My other friend is bringing his car tomorrow so we're gonna do more testing then. When I first decided to get the work done I was very aprehensive because with the money, I could've bought another car. Plus I don't trust anyone since I've been took to the bank before. But this guy was absolutely great! Always responsive to all my concerns and a quick turnaround once he got it. I swear, he was almost as good as this forum in terms of teaching me.
If you're debating about getting another car or getting the M_A Mosfet mod, get the mod. Since my engine is no longer resticted to what the pcb will supply I'm wide open to add more cells and up the amps. Since I started this hobby this has been the best mod/investment I've done!!!

Micro_Amps is the man if you have no soldering experience ot time. However, it should be pointed out that combined work of the people at BitPimps have also 95% figured out how to get a working full on forward fet boost.

For those who want micro_amps modification done, please visit his website at:

For people who cannot afford $20, and a international shipping bill combined. That have some previous work with SMR or small soldering. The below will help you out (and maybe those who are electronically inclined can finish the puzzle to completion).

Thanks for the props potentiality... It's good to know we're not forgotten about...

I've also had mine fetted by micro_Amps, and it flies, but we'll get it 100% sooner, or later...

I went through the thread you posted and I really respect what you guys are doing and appreciate the do-it-yourself mentality. Do either of you have a vid of a MegaAmps modded car next to a d-i-y fet mod? I plan on trying it myself next time.

Thanks guys

If someone could get a few snapshots of the mods, maybe we could imitate them. Then, we could save all that money on shipping.

Cheesehead, it actually only costs US$3 or $4 to send a chassis to me to be modded, not a huge expense at all really.
I have even received cars in padded envelopes that cost $1.65 to send by USPS air mail. And the return postage is included in the price of the mod.

P.S. Thanks for the kind words clxfilesand Payaso

I'd like to jump on the Micro Amps ZZ SE bandwagon too. I just picked up 2 ZZ SEs that Micro Amps mod'd for me. At first I thought the ZZ SE were too heavy to really be a serious speed machine, however, this FET mod proved me wrong.. After installing a 3.4 purple motor in one and a 45K motor in the other one, they both are very fast and alot of fun to run. Finally, a ZZ SE with speed, torque and good, precision handling. Everybody should have at least one ZZ SE FET mod'd car.
