I was giving a little thought to slotcars. I understand that they are the same size as ZZs. (I don't have any slot cars, so I don't know for sure.)

First off, I think, but I'm not sure that slot cars use 24V to get moving. If that's the case, this could be an obstacle.

So, I've seen the guts of a slot car, and I was wondering. What if I took a Bit or ZZ PCB, and used it's receiver to push 24V (or whatever a slot car takes) to a slot car motor? Then, what if I cut the front end from the slot car chassis and glued a ZZ front end so I could remove the guide pin and contacts and add ZZ steering to it? It would be like a ZipZap with a slot car motor: Screamin' Fast.

So, I'm pretty sure I could hack the chassis to do it. I know I can't modify the PCB properly. And I don't know if I can get enough juice on board to move it.

Any thoughts?
