make your Puchi Maru faster than any Bit, speed and handling 101

Due to it's fully porportional control, the Yokomo Puchi Maru is my personal favorite of the truely micro cars. But "box-stock" the speed of them leaves alot to be desired. although they are much easier to drive and control, as far as speed goes, my Yokomos had a hard time keeping up with a stock Tomy BitcharG, but that's now a thing of the past. and, it's extremely simple to do.

this mod is actually two modifications. first we'll give the car more power, and then we'll make the car be able to use it by making it handle better, and speeding it up further by, in effect, changing the gearing by replacing the tires with a larger diameter and a softer compound to give it more traction


to offer much more power (33%) to the motor, we'll be adding a 3rd cell. while this can be difficult mod on a Bit, it couldn't be easier on the Yokomo. it took me all of 5 minutes to perform it.

first, remove the body by removing the screw at the front of the car.
