OK, whats COE's and a cripple resistor? I'm guessing since you called it a "cripple" resistor its to prevent to much juice to the motor...is this new since the Cars zz's or did I miss something obvious on my zz's?

Semi terms:
COE - Cab Over Engine (semi with a flat nose instead of having a hood)
Conventional - Semi with engine forward of cab

RC term:
Cripple Resistor - Resistor covered with heat-shrink inside car tub, installed between the endbell contact and power wire. (Yellow Purple Gold Gold) Prevents as much power from reaching motor, so that you can actually get traction with the stock tires. This was introduced to the ZZ line with the "Cars" chassis. (Yes, Mater can haul ass.)
