Here's some pics of the revised circuit.
Initially, running it in the heavily modified chassis with the C5R body, it seemed slow. The motor was the Mini-Z Racer Z130-A-BB, which I've not been very impressed with (neither fast nor torquey). I was using the 8 tooth pinion. Well, that paricular chassis has a bent driveshaft, and the rigged C5R wheels, so it wasn't performing optimally. Bench testing the same motor connected to a normal chassis and comparing it to the FET modded chassis showed that there was no discernable difference in the peak motor RPM. Acceleration was hard to judge by ear.
So, I did some major parts swapping, basically swapping over the entire rear pod off the good-running RSX with the tweaked stage 2 drag motor (timing advance) a normal set of wheels and tires, and gave it a run. I thought the throttle response was soft when I was running the other setup, but not anymore. Its quite punchy and quick. Hard to keep it straight on full-throttle application now. Best of all, it fits under the stock RSX bodywork. I'd post a pic of that, but it just looks like a normal RSX.
