Sorry, I can't take credit for those extra FETs. Those were added by a guy named Sam Capri in Canada many years ago, and they are beyond my expertise or knowledge. They are soldered to a custom pc board strip he made. That IQ3000 also has a custom 2-in-1 eprom with the IQ3000 and Pro-Matcher Cell Gr...

And yet another way to attach a fan.....

Victor IQ fans 002 (640x480).jpg The fan was added to this one by using aluminum tubing which I tap threaded on each end. A small piece of 4-40 rod is threaded into one side, with maybe 1/4" sticking out. That end is threaded into the drilled & tapped heatsink side, then the fan is slid on...

This is my IQ3000 with a fan added to the heatsink. This was done by drilling and tapping 2 holes in the heatsink, and then using long screws to attach the fan. There is another hole drilled to run the power wires thru. IQ3000 006 (640x480).jpg The fan was mounted in the center on this one because i...

makoman, you are correct in that not having a fan probably being the major cause of failure with the Victors. I updated all my Victors with fans years ago (I've got a couple Maxtec/Victor IQ3000's, and some Super2-IQ's/Super-IQ's, and even a Quad-IQ). I've got fans integrated into all of them. Been ...

The Victor IQ's with script access/quick key functions are simple to setup for cycling NiMH batteries using the adjustable fallback voltage. Just program quick key #1 for a NiMH charge (or Voltage Pull Charge), then program quick key #2 for a discharge. Then go to program quick key #3, select "...

My brother has a 22 2.0 buggy with a Savox SC-1251MG servo, and he's blown 2 sets of gears in it, yet I've had one in my RB5 for 3+ years without any problems. Still, the Savox's are great servo's. Personally, I've had really good luck with the Solar D770 servo's from Hobbypartz.com Have 5 of these ...

I've got 2 of these (one still new in the box), and think they were designed mostly for 27t stock motors. Only technical data from instructions sheet:
Use only a 7.2v 6 cell battery
Maximum Surge Current: 60 amps
Max. Continuous Current: 30 amps
Voltage Loss: 0.010 volts per amp

You might be able to modify a stealth slipper clutch or something similar to work. I remember purchasing an A&L slipper clutch for a Traxxas TRX-1 out of the clearance bin at a local shop and modifying it to work on this MIP trans. I still have it, mounted in a Kyosho Ultima Pro. The design of t...

This was made by a company in Texas named "CMW" (Competition Model Works). They had an advertisement that ran in one of the major RC magazines back in the mid 80's. They were listed at $59 each. I remember ordering about 5 of them (me and a few of my brothers wanted some) and they took abo...
