Ever hear of a "Rave"?

A buddy of mine "claims" that his friend some sort of device that he can freely attach to the back of zip, near the motor I'm guessing that makes it run really fast. I've searched for the term and could find it on this board. Just wanted to throw this out there to see if my friend's friend is just (BC EDIT: Word removed).''

Thanks

I say BS. I don't even think something like that is even possible.

What would happen if you put a slightly stronger magnet up against a bit motor? Would that be what he's talking about? Would that lock up the motor or speed it up?

I mean he needs to post pictures of the part in question....oh and the stick balances the bottle rocket so it would be very necessary to achieve proper thrust in your stated situation......

If I had even seen this thing I would have figured it out for myself since i've been pulling apart ZipZaps since they came out.

A friend of mine claims that his buddy has something that snaps onto the back of the zipzap, apparently really easy, which makes it run faster. I think its BS too and just to prove my point I wanted to post the question here. Since they call it a "Rave" I wanted to throw that out here to see if anyone has heard of a simple mod or something that he could possibly be talking about. I just love proving punk a s s teenagers wrong.
