Monster motor in a zipzap,, check this out

Well i wasnt sure where to post this,, its half zip zap,, its a fake one made by "Bensin" that i used as a prototype first( i didnt want to wreck a zip zap just yet) but it should be about the same process

I took a zip zap monster motor(yellow because i used the orange in my monster) and removed the little white gear,, then i took the motor out of the "zipzap" and switched the gear heads so it would match on the car. Then i had to take out the dremel and trim a bit.

From there i noticed that instead of just a + terminal on the back side it has both so i had to solder two seperate wires for + and - . from there i used the stock clip and pulled it half way over and go figure,, it still holds it down,, i put a bit of solder on there to tack it in place. then just put it all back together and it has so much torque.. it can climb angles as good as or better than the monster(because of the lower center of gravity) the only limits are the battery life(probably only lasts a few minutes(but then again, this is a fake zipzap and it never really ran very long to begin with)) and the tires and lack of ground clearance,, its still much more fun than it was.. check it out

This is it next to the monster
