Boost

Please let me explain this.
The car must have the 'booster' RX deck. The X-mitter must be the 4 band controller. When the car is raced, it normally will travel at about .7 normal speed. Press the boost button and you get full speed. The 1.0 and 3.0 motors don't respond properly. Don't use them. You can burn out the receiver. (Go IR.) I haven't tried the 3.8 motor yet. Hopefully next week.
Concerning IR: The steering actuator of a BCG is just that, a magnetic actuator. This is not the reason that the IR conversion doesn't have prop steering. Magnetic actuators have been used in R/C planes for 50 years. We fly mico-planes with them today. Check out rcmicroflight.com

I am considering building an 0.020 powered R/C car. I have to find a proper flywheel.
