Exclamation Need techie support for DIY 'booster' controller

Looking for techie interpretation of this mod located on this german mod site: http://www.universalhost.de/html_bit/antiboost.htm

It looks like the DIY answer to finally controlling a dual cell racer, for those of us without the OEM booster machine controllers. They do have some instruction written in english but I just don't quite understand. Where is the 'boost' switch and can someone knowlegeable explain how this mod works, it looks like they are short circuiting the power to and from the batteries resulting in a melt down eh?

Compounding my problem is the fact that my controller looks nothing like the two they modded on the site but the principle would still be the same, I just dont know how they are doing this, they completely sever the strip going to GND then connect that to V+? and have a 10K resistor going from V+ to the severed strip portion? And where the hell is their switch that would bypass the 'pulldown' resistor and give you the turbo? What the?

Anyway, I am the truest definition of 'layperson', but if all the techies could come together and figure this out in plain english, we could make our own booster machines! Cheaply! Important for dual celled racers.

The mod you linked reverses the booster button on a TX that already has one. The button is held down for low speed. You get high speed when the button is released. Saves having to hold the button down for boost.

I'm not too clear on what you are after???

Unless your car is a booster or you have implemented the booster function on the car yourself this mod won't work for you!!

The picture on the site pretty much sums it up! To make the turbo pin on the chip go to 'high' it needs to be shorted through the 10k resistor. Otherwise it is normally 'low'. Just follow what it says if you have a booster car and all should be sweet.

This mod disables the boost function, so instead of going full speed when the button is pushed, you go full speed all the time.
Hope i helped........
