more torque, more throttle steps, more steering steps.

not that i need the extra torque, with li-ions and hard tires, but... it's a fun car to drive.

edit: al9spike, i got the iwaver as an xmas gift and decided i didn't like drifting an RM IW01. so it went into this project.

the iwaver shell is about 5g lighter (body perception scale...), but less top-heavy than an xmod shell. it's also very flexible, i can't forsee breaking anything off it anytime soon. i'm not that bad of a driver either, so i can probably keep off the walls well enough to preserve this body.

machining a new set of gears for the gen 1 wouldn't be too hard design wise, i simply have to find the right size gears for the bevel and the diff, plug them into my design program and make a .dwg file out of it. heck, i could probably design a better ball diff as well. but the cost of that's going to be so astronomically high i wouldn't start until i had at least 50 people interested.
