ok, i started a while ago. but im working on modifying a bit to accept a slot car motor and rear axle.. i have the rear axle in the car now, but the motor is a bit long to fit inside the chassis, so im installing it at an angle.. it may make my car more tippy.. but i might do a wheel extention if needed.. this would work perfect in a zip zap... for batterys im using a cordless phone battery. its 3 cells now, but i plan on buying 2 of them and chopping them up and placing two cells on each side for balance.. its gonna be a tight fit.. this motor is the ultimate torque monster!!! 3 cells spinns it pretty dam fast. and 4 is even better.. although i would love to be able to hook up a 9v to it..im trying not to fry anything!!

i will probably start with 3 cells first.. i will post more pics later. i have taken a bunch already.. so far its looking pretty mean.. i have to pick up some new silicone stickys (tires) at the hobby store today... (another dollar outa of my budget..

a custom mod like that deserves lithium polymer if you ask me.

that wouldnt really give me any benifits. and would cost a lot more. its not gonna get me any more voltage. it may get me longer running times... but would probably only work in a zip zap, or an extended bit.

this motor would be excellent for a drag bit. i just need to figure out how to get 8-9v to it... hell even at 4.8v its gonna scream...
