i have a 3.8 motor, but is it just me or is it just slow? i wuz expecting more speed. i see videos of the bits with 3.8 motors and see that they are really fast. i am using a clone, is this why im not getting all the juice to go fast?

It's fast in my car! Almost too fast, it's pretty hard to control and makes the car flip over if you turn too quickly.

maybe it's dying :P mine was fast until it started to go pretty damn slow. Probably cause I didn't 'break the it in' but I ran the motor with a 9V battery for 1-2 secs and that revived it a bit.

The little motor SCREAMS when you hook it up to a 9V lol. Just don't leave it on for too long or you'll burn it out.
