I agree. I have Ford Mustang Mach1 and it is 10 times better than any of the earlier SEs I have. Much Improved!!

IF you can afford it get one of each:
A SE
A monster truck
And an oldschool ZipZap

They are all fun!

The new SE's have 80% more power than the original SE's.

The original SE's powered the motor with a maximum 30% duty cycle. The new SE's use a 54% duty cycle (that is, they turn the motor on for a maximum of 54% of the time, the other 46% of the time the motor is off).

With my DC Mod the motor is powered at up to 100%. That is, the DC mod allows the original SE to deliver 333% more power to the motor, and allows the new faster SEs to deliver about 185% more power.

I've set the power curve up so that most of the speed steps are at lower powers, and the last two make steep jumps up to 100%. This gives the car good control on the low end while still allowing it to deliver full power on the high end.

You mentioned in another post that this DC mod is superior to the mosfet mod for the SE's. Can you do a similar mod for non-proportional bits? Would it outperform a mosfet modded bit?

I don't know for sure, its possible. Some bits and clones use a 50% duty cycle so that they can have a turbo button. If the turbo button was not added its possible that the motor is still running at 50%. If it uses a CoB construction (black epoxy dot on the board instead of a big black chip) it might not be possible to turn the turbo on. In that case a mod like the DC mod might help.

In the case of the ZZMT, it already uses a 100% duty cycle, so it wouldnt' help there.
