1.0s are great motors...

Anybody else use their 1.0s anymore? I just dug one out of the bin out of boredum<sp?, and it freakin rocks in a 350Z booster chassis.. If you like racing on small tracks (ie. desk tops) it's perfect, and with the boost function, it's that much more fun... Just thought I'd share that with you all..

If you don't like the 1.0, then

.... lol

I generally run 1.0s in two of my buses...
(since they tip over Very easily.) the speed is right for them.

damnit i wanna be outta work already so i can set up a little track on the kitchen table!
i've been so wrapped up in 3.8's and dual cells, i forgot how much FUN small technical courses are... and now that i got my 350z it should really rock the house lol

As soon as I started making dual cell cars, I was so glad I hung on to all my 1.0, 1.6 and 2.2 motors, cuz they work great as dual cell motors.

nah i only use the best rpm/torque combos. im telling all of you guys who have 80million bits. sacrifice one of them to the jbweld and you will do them all a few days later. it takes less energy to start moving and it coasts further so you can just barely pulse it to get it movin.

I like to use a 1.6 with little countertop courses, but really 2.2 is my fave for counter tops, because it's the fastest I can get away with without falling off all the time. Faster than that and I have to move to the floor, then it seems so slow in the vast space (12ft.x5ft. kitchen, hehe, umm yeah...I said vast, it's bigger than the counter anyways.), and I need something at least as fast as a 3.0, or dual cells.

Yesterday I was playing with my dual cell booster, Franken-Zap, on the counter top with a 2.2 in it. Un-boosted it was going just slightly slower than a stock 2.2, then I'd boost it, and it's all dual cell speed. I was making some good laps and getting pretty proud of myself when I boosted into a corner too soon, blasted off the counter, and watched my car go to pieces on the floor. I put it back together no problem, but now it doesn't steer as far in one direction, so I have to tweak at it to see what I need to bend or smash, and I'm not so hip on racing on the countertop anymore.
