Yeah and you could just about run any battery you wanted. A good friend of mine was bringing them in for awhile and was driving for them. I never developed my own set up, but just copied his. That's probably why I could not remember what it was. Never really worked with the car, just set it up like his.

It sure was fast tho and so much fun to drive. No nasty habits and the car just was just so easy to drive. I've had 3 of them and thru parts breakage and wearing parts out, wound up with two which I gave to a friend sometime last year.

Since they have adjustable gearing the Sonic, Thunder Power, Novak, and the Schuur motors should be useable. Also you could run the 55mm tires of which there is a wide selection.
