      heres a way to get about a 20 tooth pinion or more from your mini z.

      you need a tamiya mini4wd car “well just the gears from it”

      you take the gear “blue it the 20 tooth” the gear with the long shaft and 2 sets of teeth “kinda looks like a 2 speed pinion” and you just put it on your motor. you will need to make a new motor clip and a thick spacer for to get the mesh right.

      Yes lets all over gear our motors and burn the hell outta them, and have not enough torque to poke a stick at!

      There is a fine line between overpowered and perfectly set up, I like my cars to have a good balance of speed, acceleration, handling and balance.

      Thats fine though, ur a typical American.

      well my car “useing foams” can take off like a bat outta hell and take the turns pretty good only problem is you gotta use a solid suspension plate becouse the tork from the motor just snaps the stock plates lmao.

      what can i say im american i dont understand “over powering”

      Are your foams glued on?? Cause my GPM 10 degree soft tyres fall off when they hit about 40km/h or 25mp/h.

      Often wider tyres can be a problem, something to do with downforce vs tire contact area.

      i used some shoe goo ta glue them on then i trued them.

      get some mini 4wd reson tires they grip so good but you need 2 packs becouse 2 are wide and 2 are narrow
