this is strange, i dont know if its normal. someone suggested on the site to run the bit without gears for a while and hle the gas with something heavy. i regularly do that with the gears on to get all the junk out so i decided to try it with the gears off. it made a smoother sound than before. it seems a little faster than before when fully charged. I also put a little bit of cooking oil in places where gears rub against plastic so it would run smmother. it works for hot wheels cars. it doesnt make such a loud noise and it goes smoother when on hot wheels cars. so i decided to try it for the bit. i try not to put any on the axle because i noticed that it attracts dust when on it and probably decreases proformance. there is a big problem now. the bit has a noticably shorter run time than before. I dunno whats wrong. i removed the oil as much as i could but still no difference. i think it was fron running it with no gears. does anyone have any ideas?

yeah, fish and I run our cars upside-down with something on the forward button for about half a charge, and it really seems to warm up the motor and give it a boost

Do NOT use cooking oil, it will eventually solidify!!!

i found the prob. You know the copperwire that connects to the battery in the controller? Somehow it wasnt connested properly and it was haging by a thread. I gotta solder it, i'm pretty sure that will solve the problem. For anyone that knows, will microsizers be sold at places like wal mart or radio shack or maybe hobby shops so i dont have to go through the trouble of ordering on the net? If not then i guess ill buy it here...

You might be able to find them locally, but they will be $39.99 instead of $29.99! ;)
