I've also got one those gear driven steering cars. I'm in the process of converting it over to a monster truck. The gear driven steering works excellent with larger sized wheels. Much better than electromagnet steering. I also did a dual cell mod to it, and the speed is almost fast enough for me, but not quite. Either the pcb puts out very little voltage to the motor, or the motor just sucks. I’m not yet sure which. I’ll know more tonight. I may try adding a third cell tonight, and see if that works. If you try doing a simple motor upgrade, I’m afraid that it might not work. I have a bad feeling that the voltage coming from the pcb may not drive a faster motor.
The 4X4 trucks are a blast. A did a tri-cell mod to mine, and thing is crazy powerful. It’s almost too powerful to control now. My only big dislike is the charger. You get about a 2 minute run time off of it. I hooked the truck up to my peak charger, and got a 30 minute run time. BIG difference!!!!!
