Thor-bullet clone motor is great!
 

I got a bullet clone car (Thor) for Xmas, and it works ok, so I thought I'd try the motor in my black Z-car. Wow! is this thing stong or what!, It will easily do donuts on my desktop, and run across carpet! It acts like a GOOD 2.6!

The gears are also better than most of the Z-cars, they are very quiet and don't bind up at all! Great torque AND speed using Thor motor+pinion, Thor idler, and stock Z-car rear axle.

Wal mart had these clones, but got all sold out too soon, So if you see one, get it! you dont want to miss out on such a strong motor! The controller will also work with Z-cars, but Fwd/Rev is switched.

Good information. Thanks for the tips. I might get one just to use as parts, and to perhaps re-paint the bodies.
Hey! Your from Winnipeg. Just making an observation....did you get to A&B sound today for the great deals?

hmm.....looks like a good motor!

know any sites where you can buy motors for Z-Cars or Microsizers.

Radio Shacks in canada have those THOR cars on sale this week for $19.99.

FM, great tip man!!! I just switched the gears etc in my THOR with the stock ones in my Z-Car and the thing is FLYING!! and the turn control is alot better also! :) Great tip buddy! I left the rear axle like you suggested aswell! :)

where in canada can you get the thor cars or the Z cars
I want a z car soo bad

you can get them at some hobby shops..and order them;)

mine is long gone..i was jumping it and i broke the chassis..then i fried the pcb in another car while i was soldering:( good cars though:)

What part of the chassis broke (Thor or the Z-car)? and how high was the jump?
I would expect a Z-car to be more fragile (clear plastic chassis has less tolerance for flexing than the usual black plastic does).

it broke(z-car) right where the steering part meet the chassis...it was cracked before but then i jumped it about 2 feet onto a hard wood floor and it broke:( but like i said they are very good cars and look sweet with the clear chassis;)

nick i got my zcar at zellers, i dunno if you live close to me, but at bridlewood mall there's a zellers and in the toy section next to the bikes there's like 50 zcars. no one buys em cuz it's so far in the back of the store lol i was bored and i stumbled acrossed it so i bought one
