Review: perfection 4.2 Pro vs 4.2 king and 200mah batts

eman1 · #1 07-17-2003, 11:43 PM

We were racing them on a low carpet. They easily go as fast unboosted as a boosted 2.2
They are sooo fast.
Moose and I ordered from toy east, we got 2 of each motor, and 2 perfection 200mah batteries, plus shipping for 20 bucks.
I think thats an awesome deal.
I was a little afraid putting in the battery, took me a while because i didnt want to break an wires.

And the king 4.2 is basically just as fast as the 4.2 pro in a booster car. I dont know about a non boosted car, i think they would both be too much for single speed.

so its basically a 2.2 when its not boosted? How is the torque? Im gonna order one soon!

torque is pretty good, it can spin the tires on a lot of surfaces.
the only thing i dont like is the transfer from forward to reverse is a little slow.
My dad couldnt believe that i got 2 motors so small and a battery for 10 bucks including shipping. He was saying this is why the US economy is hurting, people in asia can make and sell things cheaper

The transition from forward to reverse will get better as you break it in. I can pop wheelies with mine

How did you break it in, i ran it forward boosted for a few min, then ran it backwards. Then i did a lot of forward/reverse transitions to try and make the motor better at that

i got my 4.2 and 4.2 pro today. the pro hauls a lot more ass with turbo. but the thing is my motor is being stubborn and i transitioned from forward to backwards for an hour and it still doesnt transition easily. and a lot of people say you can pop wheelies on the stock single cell but to no avail yet.

I didn't really do anything special to get it to break in. After about a week of playing with it for about an hour each day it finally got good enough to pop wheelies with. I've had mine for about 3 weeks now and I can pretty much pop a wheelie whenever I want.

k man cool thanx

eman1 · #11 07-24-2003, 04:41 PM

still no wheelies, i guess i will try and run it somemore. I'm also running the perfection 200mah battery, i dont see how that would have any difference in anything besides runtime over the stock battery.
