Unless you bypassed it to the motor well, you're lying. A 9 volt will blow the pcb and fry it in 5 seconds.

I've been thinking of trying to hook up a motor to a 9V and see how it runs. Ima go do that.

Edit I just hooked a 2.1 to a 9V and I can smell something burning in the motor hehe im gonna try it on a 2.8.

I actually have a motor off a bigger rc and i taped the 9v to the side of the car. Its cool and fast but looks wierd i took it off today and tried to lower my 350z but i think somethings wrong so i took it off and just put the 2f2f Lancer on.I just got my first zz yesterday and started mod'n and crap.

why not try to put mufflers?Paint Pin Stripes?Dual Cell Mod?TRI Cell mod?Drop your body?Make Some Underglow?Find some Rims?

theres alot more to do to your ZZ's dude... you just have to be creative.

I took a motor from a larger rc which was also a larger motor then taped the 9v to the side. Good idea Supra......

until you get a pic i will not believe you

9v through the pcb is a downright lie. people fry motors at 6v sometimes. unless you modded something, which i doubt you did considering you are asking questions like "whats a pcb" and "whats an led" it wouldnt work. you need a regulator of some sort. and either way i highly doubt it would fly, i hooked 4 aaa batteries once and it was too much weight to handle. maybe 9 makes the difference by i dont see it happening. borrow a camera from someone and take a pic.

He's not lying I have completed my 9V Dragster. I just bypassed the motor and wired the motor and the battery direcly. And when you wanna race hook up the wires and off yah go baby.

can you really explain how to do this and if it would handle any of the ZZ motors i have 4 9Vs sittin around and does it do wheelies? And how did you make the body higher?

I didnt use a ZZ motor. I used one from a Tyco RC (TM). Its your prob if you dont believe me.

Well, I believe you! But it's just HARD to believe is what I'm saying. And Wildo3 once took a 12 volt camera battery and bypassed that and his car flew. So, all I'm saying is that if you hooked it to the pcb, you can serve your hungry computer some fried chips.

If you wanted to play it safe you could always run your 9v batt through a 5 volt regulator. It would still rock and allow your board to run at a safer voltage with all the current it needs.

I want to do this, only using the board to fire relays for some non-standard experimenting!

I believe speedy. A guy that works at the radio shack by my house did the same thing to one. It FLEW!! The only prob with his was it was just way too top heavy. Any kind of turn would flip it. He was running on carpet (the office type carpeting you would find in a store.) Maybe that's what made it worse on the cornering. He was telling me that he had better results running the stock green motor with the 9V as far as a gain in performance. He told me the faster motors didn't really show that much of an improvement. Regardless that's an awesome mod speedy. Hope you can get a digital camera soon and post some pics. I just got a unbelievably great deal on one! It's a fuji 2600. $130 bucks, brand new, first quality.(not a refurb)
