MOSFETS Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors MOSFETS have no moving parts turn motor current off electronic means no contacts burn weld together otherwise fall through continued use yours strictly on/off application might consider relatively lower-cost control such Astro 215 217 framerate designs specified use up 14 cells 30 amps similar except former has electronic brake

high-rate designs always first strongest recommendation higher efficiency less loss evident midrange speeds no difference between frame-rate high-rate both full Please enclose SASE correspondence youd
