So not so long ago at brookstone(normally in malls) was selling a mini Cooper for $20 1:43 scale come dual cell standard. Not anything real big I think there only 50 mah a piece and a small hardwired zz motor. Let's just say it was so slow I ripped the motor out that same day. Now I started modding it two 160mah a 30,000 rpm superslicks motor and the pinion that comes with the kit. Now I'm happy with the platform has much more pick up and top speed. Oh and it also came with lame LED lights I tried to rewire them to send more juice to the motor but forced into a toward only movement that pulsed. The design of the gear setup was just like a zz but the axle just rested on the plastic fram forded down by the motor cover which was to small for my superslicks motor. It also has zz style magnet steer I wish it had a motor but oh well it works for the size

does anyone know where I can get more superslicks motors?
