ok i see, thanks guys, one last question though, the Aston Martin has dual cell batteries and a 2.4v battery right?
also has there been a thread or does anyone know how to remove the resistor limiting the battery? thanks guys really appreciate it..

On the SEs (which the Astons are) there are no resistors limiting current as much as its the duty cycle that screws them up. That's why I told you to search on the DC mod. Too in depth for me to explain now, I gotta head off to work, but they are pretty fast, and should be fun enough with that 4.0. Dual cell can be a little wacky to control in tight areas.

since this forum has been so active for so long, it actually can take ages to find a specific answer, especially with dialup internet

mate, whatever you get, FET mod it. Makes a ridiculous difference to Bits/Microsizers etc. Not quite the same difference on a ZZSE cos it uses PWM to control the motor speed (again, see the DC mod tutorial for explanations).

I have a Bit with single FETs, 3.4 motor and internal dual cells, and it won't keep the front wheels on the ground

I'd also be grabbing a couple of ZZMT's, you bloody Yanks have them sooooo cheap it pisses me orf

I think you'll find your answer faster than most forums for bits, besides, you can find the best of the best info under the "Articles" tab above.

At any rate, I spent hours and hours... and hours reading up at TinyRC before I ever posted anything. I never found any of the info I wanted, had to figure out everything for myself, but I learned a hell of a lot along the way, and got to know the personalities posting there.

... and if you're still on dial up, that's your problem.
