picked up a black mustang and the new booster motor pack. OMG

[Clint]

i went tripple 160mA in my black 49mhz stang with the newer style pcb and tested out the motors from the new booster pack.

all i can say is WOW! radio shack has really done it this time.

i drag raced(12 feet) two fast cars against each other with these combo's:

Car #1. new black mustang body, tripple 160mA batts, (new red motor(from rx8 and yellow/orange motors from new motor kit)
Car #2. yellow mustang body, tripple 160mA batts, Bit Char g pcb swap, perfection 3.8 motor.
both have the same tire setup, slicks in the back, stock up front and stock suspensions and same bodies.

drag race #1.
Car #1. new style red motor, new zz pcb.
Car #2. perfection 3.8, bit pcb swap.

result: Car #1 wins off the line and stays a little ahead...perfection was catching up(probably a perfection 3.8 win by the end of 20 feet), the new red motor has defined a new meaning to the word TORQUE! very fun motor with 3 cells.


Drag race #2.
Car #1. new style yellow motor, new zz pcb
Car#2. perfection 3.8, bit pcb swap(same as before)

Result: Car#1 wins off the line again by a smaller ammount but continues to pull greatly ahead of the 3.8.

Drag race #3.
Car #1. new style orange 2.8 motor, new zz pcb
Car #2. perfection 3.8, bit pcb swap(same)

Result:
Both same off the line...zz orange 2.8 pulls ahead after 5 feet.


End result... i dont know what they did to the new yellow motor...but it's much faster than the old yellow motor...and has a great tq/top end balance....it just might be the
best motor out on the market...

my opinion...the new zz pcb kicks major cajhones with multi cells...it appears to
be a valid contender. the new motors rock...i need to try them out with the bit pcb.

next race coming up. (in a few days).
4 cell new style zz VS 4 cell zz with microsizer pro booster pcb.
who will win? only time will tell.( i hope the microsizer pro board wins...
i love the dual speeds. hehehe )

Mods.. please move to zip zap forum..or not..guess it doesnt matter. thanks.

Is it just me, or is the yellow motor faster than the orange motor? I'm getting a lot more speed out of the yellow. It's as if the orange has no torque.

[viperkilla]

Yea...I'm getting that for some weird reason too. My friend would smoke me with his NOS even though I have a Racing motor (28,000rpm). That's kinda weird.

The orange 28,000 motor in the 350z is mind boggling. I couldn't believe the amount of torque and speed. Best motor I've owned to date!!! I see absolutely no power differences between the Bits and Zips now.

the 2.8 motor is nice and torquey in the 350z bit booster as well.

i really do think the motor designations need to be redone.
the new zz motors are a must buy.

That new Zip Zap racing motor looks strangely like a dks 3.1 zip zap motor, runs like it too.
