err guys the 30k rpm is just the motor itself. if u attach gears to it, it slows down dramatically unless ur gears give you a 1:1 ratio in which case the car would probably not move cuz of the lack of torque. i think the lowest gear ratio for the stage 2 is 4.33:1 whici means it's like 30k rpm divided by 4.33 which gives u around only like 7k of rpm. it's the same thing as bit char-g's they dont actually get 42k rpm from a 4.2 motor.

Just surf over to the sister site of tinyrc.com - mini-zracer.com. In his store he has some Squat motor cans w/ bearings in them. Here's the LINK

Be careful though, you may soon find yourself playing with Mini-Z's more than your Xmod. Before you know it, you'll be like me!

I started with F1 Mini-Z's, progressed to regular Mini-Z's, upgraded to the Micro RS4, then had fun with an ABC DTM X4, Bit Char-g's, Microsizers, and Zip Zaps. Then I got a Traxxas T-maxx and now I'm just waiting for Team Losi's Mini-T and the Mini-Z Monster. Even more exited about David Palacio and PTI Racing's Micro Monster. Man, there isn't enough money in the world for my hobbies!

that sounds like alot of people from mini-zracer;)

if your looking to experiment with motors, do some research on mini-zracer.com and try some of the mini-z upgrade motors. there are many to choose from.

bottom line, nml motors will be the fastest but it comes with a hefty price tag (for mini-z's anyway) so before you go throwing money around, do some research. an educated consumer is the best consumer. for most of us with a limited budget, there are i'm sure plenty of good options.

btw nml, nice to see you taking xmods to the next level too. i'm sure it's only a matter of time befroe you have something similar to fuzion for xmod's
