What are you waiting for?

P.S. *Secret tip* if you use 6 IC-3 batts in there, which will be 8.7 volts, then your car may go up to around 30 mph!!!!
(with the spinbrush motor and the blue gear, of course )

I'm not sure where you are getting these numbers from, but they are not at all accurate. A Spin Brush motor does not put out the same kind of RPMs as a stage 2 motor. Not even close. My 30 turn 180 motor only hits 23mph with 6 cells, and it is spinning about the same rpm as a stage 2, but with more torque.
