A new discovery!!!

When me and my neighbor were charging our zips (they both were 27 mhz) we couldn't control the other! So if you have the same frequency you can only control your car when charging and the same applies for the other person. By the way, I recently got the Phast motor from Rcmod, it is quicker than my NOS express motor. It doesn't seem to have too much torque, but just enough to kick my neighbor's car!

i would like the springs. the other stuff is all useless:

a 6.0 motor with decent torque is a long way away. you usually trade torque for high speed. you would NEED to have at least 3-4 cells to get the thing to even budge.

the whole point of these things is to mod them and make them fast, if they come stock with multiple cells, everyone will have one and this hobby will get really old really fast.

faster gear ratios WOULD be nice, but again, you trade torque for high speed. the red gears take long enough to get up to speed. (and i am even talking about in a tri cell car)

its the 2f2f kit, why would there be shells from the first movie in there? i wouldnt mind another rx7 though but either way the supra and rx7 are both in starter sets anyways.

the rare earth magnets do about nothing, i have seen no difference at all.

SPPRRRIINGGSS!!

6.0 motor = No fun. Racing is about competition. Unless you are a complete ego-maniac then complete obliteration is no fun.

I think more than one cel is cheating for some reason. I jsut think 1 cell is enoguh & its more of a test of driving skill than test of cells

anyone who voted springs needs to think about their vote.
Radioshack strongly advises you not to open the pcp (i must say i disagre with them to). so y would they put suspension springs in a pack.

still, if they would i'd say the springs

pcp is a highly addictive drug....i think you meant pcb...printed circuit board.

sorry about that, I was rushing because one of my ms was burning in the bathroom sink. I got it cleaned up before my parents got home.
