Hi, I’ve just stumbled across this while looking for advice. I have just bought one of these as part of a used bundle and want to fit a mosfet to enable me to use a lipo. This looks to be exactly fitting for me! Am I right in thinking this is wired in without opening the gearbox? If so would you be able to give me pointers on how/ where to fit it on the loom?What you see there is the x304u mosfet, And a deans connector on the south side of the fet to the motor (fully heatshrunk). That deans connector gives me a QC motor system. I solder the wires directly to the motor with a deans on the end, and can then swap motors at will.
You are an absolute star! I presumed it would be that simple but I’m still learning. I haven’t had the need to go inside a gearbox yet as nothing has been wrong. I’m ready to have a go at shimming, but don’t want to open up a gun and make it worse when It’s working fine.It's pretty easy to do the install of the Mosfet if you are decent with a soldering iron.
You will need a soldering iron, solder, heatshrink, and extra wire.
I have an image somewhere that shows where to cut. Unfortunately it's on one of my redundant old hard drives so I may have to make another one.
Just give me a day or two and I'll have the information you need![]()
The red X's are where you cut.

It's then soldered in like this for the XET304u

note your just tagging the mosfet trigger wires into the old trigger circuit, and running a direct connection through the fet to the battery.
It’s quick change so won’t be any bother. Thanks again for all the help ?I'd probably try get an M100 into it. How hard that is will depend on the gearbox variant. If you have the QC spring system then it'll take a few minutes. If you have a regular V3 gearbox then you will have to disassemble it.
