Well, the mod worked out well. Here is what I found out through driving it around for awhile:

My Car: Green Gearing, Turbo (RED) motor, stock battery, stock body.
Co-Workers Car: Green Gearing, NOS (Orange) motor, stock battery, shaved body w/ drilled holes in chassis to drop weight.

I took both controllers to get a even drag start and notcies my car was now MUCH faster than his right off. I was actually beating his NOS for about 5-8', then he took over and won. I was VERY happy. This was racing a NOS vs. Turbo motor AND more weight on my end (stock body). I then had him do the above mod and raced again. This time we were dead even at the start for 5-8', then he continued to pull ahead.

This shows there is some extra speed from the start, but in the end, the motors higher RPM/top speed pulls away. I also think with this change, you can't really "beat" other people.. I consider it a 2-3 second "advantage" when racing those who don't use the this mod. Also, it seems all people with this mod will get the same quick start as others with it, ie: independant of gearing, motor, etc...

The downside... this eats my battery QUICK! Every 1-2 minutes I need to recharge. I really think the manufacturer added the resistors to increase the runtime.

Overall: A nice mod.. it has its place in certain races, but given the amount of runtime between charges I get, I'm not sure I want it all the time. This is just my PERSONAL opinion though.

If I don't see any pics from gpile tomorrow morning, I'll scan my car and post some pictures of the mod for others to follow.
