a 6.0 motor with decent torque is a long way away. you usually trade torque for high speed. you would NEED to have at least 3-4 cells to get the thing to even budge.

the whole point of these things is to mod them and make them fast, if they come stock with multiple cells, everyone will have one and this hobby will get really old really fast.

faster gear ratios WOULD be nice, but again, you trade torque for high speed. the red gears take long enough to get up to speed. (and i am even talking about in a tri cell car)

its the 2f2f kit, why would there be shells from the first movie in there? i wouldnt mind another rx7 though but either way the supra and rx7 are both in starter sets anyways.

the rare earth magnets do about nothing, i have seen no difference at all.

Aren't you quite the critical one, flatie!

By the way, I have come up with another crazy idea: I recently saw some baby powder and used that as a lubricant for my gears. I dusted the whole axle (even the tires) and ran it in air without any load for a second or two to get rid of extra powder. I put it on the floor, and GOOD GRIEF it goes zipppppy!!!!

doesn't putting baby powder on your tires hurt traction?

[charliebrown]

If you use a lot, yes. However, with a LITTLE bit of powder smoothed into the tires, it gets just the right grip. If you use all-season tires then you're more likely to flip because of the tight gripped turning. But with powder, it can slide and speed across the floor in a tight combo!

i bet it looks good on a black car too

spill that baby powder all over the car and tell your mom the driver is a drug dealer

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHJAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
That's one of the funniest one-liner jokes you'll hear in a lifetime!!!

Charlie Brown Edit: sharpen a pencil and roughen/scratch up one side of it. Rub the jagged side on your tires and they'll pick up a li'l lead that makes em look hot and run sleek!!! Use them only on slicks, though.

2nd edit: I meant rough up the side of THE LEAD, not the whole pencil. Make one side of the lead really scratchy and rub the scratchy side on the tires for improvement...

Hey, um, Char-g Ace, I hate to disappoint you but....
I see you tried to change your title to "moderator". People here at TinyRC aren't really dumb enough to fall for that. Did you think no one was going to notice????

Here is proof:

I was just play'n around to c how long it would take 4 anyone to change it

I have already got springs from my Tyco Slot car. But i would like to see some put out by RS
