Ok, I recently aquired a ZipZap from RadioShack. I got it out and played around with it a bit. It didn't go very fast so I got a little curious. Before I had bought the ZipZap, I bought this little RC car called a Micro RC FitRacer from Walgreens. The problem with it was that it was too FAST. It spun out every time I turned. So, I changed it's motor with the ZipZap's stock motor. Instant change. The ZipZap went faster and the FitRacer went slower, which it what I wanted. However, the FitRacer's moter didn't improve the ZipZap's speed by ALOT, so I wanted to buy a better one. I wanted to buy a Turbo or a NOS, but RadioShack is all out. Then I found DKS motors (
http://www.driftkingshop.com). They are even faster apparently. Does anyone know if the DKS 2.8 Monkey Rotor, the DKS 2.6 Monkey Rotor, or the Tomy Micro B 2.2 GS-02 will work with a stock ZipZap? NOT a modded one. I don't want to screw it up.
Next question, the company claims that a ZipZap will run for 5 minutes on a full charge. Mine runs about half that. I've tried both the ZipZap's stock motor and the FitRacer's motor. Same results, just the FitRacer's goes faster. Any suggestions? I don't have much electrical expirience so a no mod solution would be best. However, I'm willing to try if it's NOT too hard.
Finally, what other Micro RC parts will work on ZipZaps?
Threaded Mode
