cool, I have a 'pede too.
so here ya go


1 I haven't heard of anyone having the turbo work. Either nobody has tried it, or it may not work.

2 I have read in a coupple places tha tthe board can handle around 9V- anything more tends to fry things. I've found no word on amperage yet.

3 Mini z and Tamiya motors work- anything in a 180 (I think ) case that fits is good to go... try a high torque Audley motor with rare earth magnets, and a BB case.... That'd probably be the best.

4 A heat sink is a heat sink, as far as I'm concerned. The one that comes with the stage 2 motor pack is a little clunky but it works. You may need to trim the motor mount a bit to use other clip on style ones.

5 The bodies are plastic, and by the time you get all the "tuner" body parts on there, you are hauling a lot of plastic.
People have put short 1/24 and 1/25 scale car bodies on them, but I haven't seen any of the lexan slot car bodies- YET.

Of course you can probably "jangify" it a bit if you know what I mean.
Less weight always helps.
