Since I'm having the worst luck with bad switches, does anyone know if there is a place on the bit pcb I can solder a led to. I want it to light up only when I hit the gas, like a Z-car. Or do I need a special board with other components on it?
Check out http://www.age.jp/%7Eex2/bit.html . The site is in japanese so you'll have to use a translator like http://babelfish.altavista.com/ . Basically, if you're gonna connect directly to the PCB, you'll have to use resistors. Otherwise, your motor will stutter. I used a TAMIYA MINI 4WD LED LIGHTING SET. They have resistors shrink-tubed onto the LEDs. I hope that helps.
