Preview of my soon to be LiPo'd Hera (with a MOSFET!)

PLEASE HIT SHOW MORE BELOW!

This is my first build using a MOSFET, I have the magnificent Tom of Foam Data Services for the Hera and the guide to MOSFET it.
The "problem" with the Hera is that the mag feeds through the grip, which I like, but there is very little chance you'll fit one of those beefy 21A Microswitches everyone loves, the grip is the problem here, but it does have a very responsive and clicky 5 Amp switch, which is nice, but useless for our needs, even a Cherry DC2 at 10 Amps is pushing it too far, as the combined motors draw 30 Amps at stall.

Seeing as we can't realistically put in a higher Amperage swtich, we can use a MOSFET, as Tom said "You don't need to know how they work, just that they do" and seeing as this is my first ever MOSFET build, I'm nervous and excited to try new mods, especially regarding the snap-times when running a 2S or 3S LiPo, that's the versatility of the MOSFET you can use rechargeable Alkaleaks, NiMh batteries or a 2S or 3S LiPo.
I'll be upgrading my Hera ASAP to take a 2200mAh 40C 2S LiPo (probably start later) and give you a working (hopefully if it doesn't all go up in smoke!) example of a MOSFET.

My eternal gratitude goes to Tom of Foam Data Services for selling me the Hera and Kevin of UKNERFWAR.COM, who is also our BritNerf moderator (better keep him sweet ;) ) whom I got the MOSFET kits from for £1 each, what a bargain!

Check out UKNERFWAR.COM as they have everything you need (get some more Bulldog flywheels in!) and Foam Data Services on YouTube, as Tom has some great videos and helped me a lot, even though he can be a bit cryptic, he's taught me a lot and made me make the step to MOSFETS. (He also does a good Yoda impersonation!)
