chill with the language, an non rechargeable batts go dead quick you may have messed somethin up in the diff by locking it make sure the wheels are spinning nicely make sure the motor is spinning

sory bout the language im just realy frustrated. anyways the car didnt even go fast when i first put on the batts, and when i lift up the car the wheels spin real fast, it just has realy slow accel

k one more question, my car will only turn completely to the left but itll only turn somewhat to the right, what could be wrong

and the car goes straight when going forward but doesnt go straight when reverse


dont double post ~909

and your problem is your motor mount
i've had the same problem
but to fix the steering just adjust it on the top of the controller

but it shouldnt be like that slow tho even if its not a stage 2 or 6 cell upgrade.

also in one of the tuts on drifting, i think it said that you dont actually need a stage 2 to drift, stage 1 is plenty. so guys i dont think i have found my problem yet.

hey man thanks. i was thinking about this car and i took it apart and still found nothing wrong with it, i did play with it for a while...slowly cause i read about breaking in the motor thing, but it doesnt seem to work

i figured something out, i dont knwo if you guys know this already, i was playing with my graphing calculator and found a equation to find out the theoreticle speed of the car. here it is:
rpm of motor/gear ratio*circumference of tires ( stock ones are 2pi R, radius is 1.2cm, circumference turns out to be 7.5cm=0.075m)*0.06=speed in km/h

you guys probably know this but what he hell ill just put it on here.

so the stock car's theoretical speed ( without resistance) is about 20km/h
