Well I just got the 3.8 from ebay (the pink cap one) and I'm haveing trouble installing it. I can get it to run with the motor kind of tip down but as soon as I put the latch it wont' work (keeping in mind the geard spins freely) I am using the orange gear rite now. Any help is appericated!!!

I did but the motor dont' fit real well..I have to have the motor go towards the bottom on the contact side 4 it to run. Is it the motor? I notice it's bigger thatn the tomy motors.

It just sounds like a bad connection. Try prying the little metal tab on the end of the motor out just a little.

Ok I fixed it. I had to pry that little metal thing that the motor sits under. I also added some paper on the bottom of the motor and now it works.

that's good, how do you like the 3.8? is it fast? is it hard to control?

It's more of an high speed motor compare to the 2.6 it has less acceleration. I guess it's ok....

If there is less acceleration, change the gear set. ;)
