Will the Bit Char-G 3.8 fit in my ZipZap?

I guess the title says it all. What's the quickest motor I can get for my miniStang?

1. Will it fit? YES

2. Will it work? YES/NO.

You will need to mod your car to make the 3.8 work. Either the reverse or dual battery mods should get the 3.8 moving. You could also do a PCB switch from a Minisizer.

I think I heard that the ZZ don't have enough juice going to the motors in order for it to run faster motors at Bit Char performance.

What's the easiest/cheapest way to get that 38K RPM motor to work? Sorry; I'm VERY new to this!

How do you do the reverse mod(I've done a search)? And, if I do the dual battery mod, do I wire the second battery in series(+to-)or paralel(-to-/+to+)? Thanks for any help, Mike.

Here is a link to the dual battery mod:

Can I run the 2.6/3.0/3.8 motors with the no/rev mod? If so I'm going to order the motors and do the mod tomorrow.

pingguru1 · #12 10-19-2002, 12:00 AM

That MOD should get you the voltage needed to push the higher motors with no problem. The results so far have been good.

BLWNSTNG · #13 10-19-2002, 12:08 AM

Thank You for your help. I only have the "turbo" motor now, but I'll order the bigger motors and then, maybe, do the dual battery mod.

pingguru1 · #14 10-19-2002, 01:09 AM

I am running red motor and gears with great results after the no reverse mod. It is easy to undo the mod so I would give it a shot first before performing the others. Hell it might be fast enough without the extra cell (ok I don't see that happening)

Glad I could help.
