I don't have a scanner at home, but I do have one at work. If I get the chance I can get one on Monday, and I can email it to you.
I just got the motor upgrade set.
Putting it in was fun! The wheels have little metal lug nuts on them, and little washers behind them. The wheels also fit on them in such a way that they are locked onto the spindles, not unlike XMods. The motor upgrade come with red gears to replace the green ones, and a red motor to replace the bluish one. The kit boast of a 9.58:1 gear ratio and a motor with a rpm of 30,000. I like the way that the wheels are removeable, and the whole axle doesn't snap into place like in a ZZ SE. A plastic motor cover keeps the motor compartment sealed. The motor itself fits into the motor groove slot nicely, without springing out like a ZZ SE. The cover is not needed to keep the motor in place.
Man...what a performance difference! I imagine, that this faster motor is going to eat up battery lifetime before recharging, but as the stock motor and gears were 10+ minutes, even if it was only 5 minutes at this new speed that'd be a good thing. I suspect it will still be 7-9 minutes.
