completely.
instead of spinning the windings, the windings spin the magnets.

circuit cars are not meant to be ultra fast. circuit cars ususally do not ever use lithiums and really fast motors. most use NiMH and a 50-70 turn motor which is not much faster than stock, but have slightly higher end magnets, allowing the motors to acheive slightly faster acceleration out of a corner. handling is the focus in circuit.
lithium and such is mainly for wide open stretches of smooth ground.

EDIT: mosfets do not increase speed by much but increase the ability of the car to pass current to the motor and better mosfets take the strain off the electronics.

Exactly. Circuit cars are usually just how XMDrifter explained. But when we mod we are looking to make fun cars to play with, like racing friends in the driveway or at a local RC track. Thats where making Dragsters and Drift cars, and fun FAST lith cars for flying around a track and crashing or Crawlers ... and well anything fun you can think of.

UPDDATE.

Got my servo, and will start puttin it together tommorrow.

awesome... does the HS-55 help alot with steering?

just curious, if this is a drag car.. why are u so concerned with the steering? the new servo just seems like extra added weight to me.

Its going to be a brushless system. So no PCB. It will have to use an ESC, reciever and servo. As far as I know you can't use the original servo motor in the stock chassis because of the pentiometer situation. If I am wrong let me know.

Hey thanks alot. I will be going to the garage to work on the servo mount in a few minutes.

You asked this same question in my tutorial. it is a big step over the stock servo w/stock pcb, but when you don't have to modify it(take out the board make it a 5wire servo) and keep it a 3 wire servo it is even better.

stock servo

kay/bad
Hs-55 w/stock board:great
hs-55 w/hobby grade(still a 3 wire servo):excellent

Great Project man, Love the vette, and good luck with the elecs

i'll be keeping an eye out.

I wish I could find a real good detailed tutorial on conecting hs55 motor to a xmod or miniz board. I needed that for my MRCG car. I think I did okay, but has a little gitter.

I made a tut for the hs-55 to an evo board(How-To: Wiring a Hs-55 to an evo board)... o well, the mini z board is different, so i don't know with that

It is in parenthesis.

It is my tutorial, some of the pics are blurry, but i think i described it well

it's the same as with an xmod board. just use the mini-z board swap tut as reference to which wire corresponds to which with xmod vs mini-z. it's the same thing basically

Where's that Tut. I just did a search and found nothing.

Okay, well I wannted to see how everything was going to work so I put this together. It is not brushless (Im still waiting for my 1/36 losi X to get here) I got the servo mounted very well and nothing moves (no wobble, no gitter) Here are some notes that may answer any upcoming questions.

Notes:
-Not brushless yet (once I get my brushless combo, everything will go except the servo)
-POWER... yes thats right 4 Liths (not to fast right now cuz the motor isn't a high current)
-just put the scion rims on for testing
-the chassis is solid and doesn't move when the servo turns
-(In the Videos) I just got done testing and building so the batteries were very low, thats why the servo was slow. The batteries are charging and ill have a new vid up soon.

I think the way I figured out how to connect the servo arm to the swing arm is the best I have seen it done. I am making a Tutorial as we speak. It will be posted later today.
