My friend's trying that with his ZZ ( he's making it 4 cell so it can drive all that motor, too) I can't say that i believe it would work.. I mean, for one, you have to make a mount for the motor (plastic or metal), and then you have to make the car much heavier with the extra cells to drive it. Personally, I'd mosfet the car, add a 3.8 or 4.2, and save a lot of weight. The one question to ask is IS THE POWER WORTH THE WEIGHT? If it is, go for it.

yeah it is each cell adds atleast 3 times the power it takes :P

I dont know about dual motors in a zipzap, but ive done one in a bit and heck it has torque!!

Was that the bit with the huge lego tires.... it would need the extra torque then...but for the average zz.....well...

no, it didn't have lego tires, but thankx for the idea

. I put those tires on my ZZ and it is phat LOL. Really, it's pretty cool, check RC mod for how to do it. I used a 3.8 and a quad cell

in it.......You can figure the rest.......

now it's a 4.2. Aaahhhhh, technology

Awesome. ya do any mosfets to that sukka? Heck, when u do that to a single cell it doubles the power...lower on resistance....
Insane amounts of torque and speed. Now to get this done to my se.....

i have done long ago..... what i did is pretty simple.... i cut some tinfoil enough to wrap around the 2 batterys and jamed the skinned ends 0f a wire under the contactor....note u will need 2 mod chasis slightly and may need 2 tape in place

i think i know but it might not work ! ok so get a zip zap u dont realy like and do this

put two wires or whatever the thing conecting the 1st moter
and tape it over the moter and gear to give it more power or
ummmm

or tape it under the moter on the axel and i think that will work
or under the 1st moter just cut the plastic part and well to show u quickly
G= gear and _ is the plastic and M = so just see

M
_ < right there cut that and put the moter i think that might work put u might need a nother moter controler < i spelled that wrong

Oh my god! There's no way this is genuine... Mr. M, you've gotta be a really funny college-age dude. Nobody is this irritating on accident... you've done a great job creating the most annoying character of all time. Kudos for that, but it's gotta stop.
