Just FYI, my tri-cell fet modded car has hit 18.4mph (28.7km/h)on a speed checker.
and,
Tomy (and others) didnt use fets in the original design because it would make the production cost too high.

How much would you charge to also do an antenna swap?I could supply the wire,if it would help lower the cost.Thanks!
Also,what is the average turn around time from the US to you and back?

I did the aerial swap (the one on my website) for free because the guy had a fet mod done. I have plenty of the wire so its no cost to me.
If you were to have a fet mod done by me, I have no problem doing other mods for you (pcb swap, aerial swap, etc) for no cost, as it is easy for me, and doesnt take long.

BabyKiller,
As I said on the site, $17 is cost price that I get the single speed cars for, thats pretty cheap for a BitChar-g/Microsizer Celica. I make no money on the sale and shipping of the cars sets at all. In fact it costs me more shipping than the US$5 that I put on the site. Its a limited deal, when I run out of these, thats all.
Thats my spin on things anyway, I know that RCmod do an excellent job too.
uA

Thanks!!!
