1/43 Front Runners from Team Up with Nascar Bodies

Has anyone else picked these up. I bought two at Wally world (27mhz and 49mhz). I have seen 2 variations of these. The one at RS has an air rachet style controller and the ones that I got are stick controllers. I have seen these at K-Mart too.

I know that these are not propo just buy driving them. But they are fun none the less. I was just wondering if anyone has tried any mods on them. They are cheap and readily available so I thought maybe it wouldn't be too bad if I fried one just to try to mod.

It has a motor for steering that has a yellow end cap and it turns way too fast for me I was wondering if I could swap this out for a slower motor and would that have any negative effect other than the slower response.

They have no suspension in them at all.

They are really easy to take apart and see what's going on in them too. I just wish I knew more about r/c electronics so I could try things out myself.

The motor that pushes the car looks like a slot car motor.

Any suggestions on what I could try to make these cars more driveable would be appreciated.

The Front Runners are in the back row. I added the other cars just to show size differences. The cars in the middle are 1/50 scale and the cars in the front are 1/64 scale.
