Question about Z-car engines???
Z-cars list their engines as 2.2v, 2.6v, and 3.0v. Everyone else (Zipzaps, Microsizers) seem to list their engines in RPMs. So I was wondering if the 2.2v mean 22,000 RPM or if it really means 2.2 volts? It has a 2.2v engine standard and is pretty zippy altho, has some trouble steering on the carpet in my office but maybe a 3.0 engine would make it go better?

I think a 2.2 is 2,200 per minute. 22,000 Would be over 366 revs per second! I think your Car would implode or something no?

According to extremetech.com which did a review of Zipzaps and Microsizers a 1.0 was equivalent to a 10,000 RPM, 1.6 16,000 RPM, 2.2 22,000 RPM, etc. etc. I was just wondering if it was the same for the Z-cars. The engines are listed as 2.2v, 2.6v, and 3.0v do these numbers also correspond to the RPMs?

If you can point me to a Z-car section I'd be happy to post there! *Note this is a Z-car and not a Zipzap.
