Mini-X Motor Mod results

Well I finally had the time to do some solid testing of all the mods i currently run on my Mini-X.

MODS
PN-racing carbon brushes
Squat Motor Can with Ball Bearings and Neo Magnets
Blue PETG Upper Chassis Support (custom made)
Foam Bumper
6 Cell battery pack

Set up
Soft Springs all the way around
Stock tires with street type grooves
Stock diffs (35T i think...)
Stock Version 2.0 Electronics

Results
These added items (mainly the can, can bearings, neo mags, and carbon brushes) make the motor hum along much smoother. Also i timed the heats...what normally took me 3 minutes, basically hold finger on motor for 3 seconds before super hot, not takes upward of 15 minutes. I think the only next step is to lighten the chassis for even more possible speed...i wish i had access to a speed gun. To be honest i think these improvements added about 15-25% more speed.

[i]Looking forward to a possible race/test with tinyrc at a tennis court someday...bring the Mini-Z's...this X is hungry...

Heres some pics for fun....
