What is the bug?

    The Bug is an external MOSFET based PCB that is designed to overcome the limitations of the stock power electronics on the Epoch PCB

    The Bug turbo is designed to run on an Epoch Indoor Racer chassis. It allows more power to go to the motor therefore providing increased torque and a slightly increased top speed.

    A stock Epoch chassis running the Bug will out gun a 4 cell Epoch in a drag run.   You can see a video of it here.   The red car in the video has the Bug turbo, the blue car is the 4 cell chassis.   note: you need divx to watch the video, get it at www.divx.com.

    The Bug has been tested on a 3 cell, 4 cell and li-poly(2P) power setups with no issues. The stock motor is the only motor the Bug has been tested against so run hotter winds at your own risk!

    Here's a picture of the bug installed on a Epoch spec-2 chassis.

    The Bug is quite simple in it's layout.  You can see this from the picture below.
