Im kinda new to the terms so your gonna have to explain what a BL setup is. Two motors gives it more speed, i guess depending on the setup. I saw a website(linked from a post) that had a project where someone put two motors in an XXX or sumthin. They were trying to break the land speed record with it.

I found out how to do the electrics for a dual motor setup. Depending how you set the motors up decides if you have torque or speed. Everything is in the electric cars forum under dual motors

bl=brushless. when people say that they are meanin a motor that has no brushes, springs,or what ever a mod motor has dat need replacement.a brushless is the way to go it you have 230 dollar.(for a novak bl) you get the speed of a 10turn motor(lower the turn the faster)and run time of a 3400mah battery if running 3300.and i think with dual motors its mainly tourqe and you will get less runtime. but yea when you get done post some pic. up!!

the stock speed control is the servo connected to the receiver. i know how to wire everything up with any ESC or MSC(manual speed control/stock) would more torque give me more speed? and i need a detailed intruction on how to wire two battery packs together(6 cell 1500mAh)

I have heard that it is nearly impossible to upgrade any part of the dash. I had one and by the looks of it the motor is a smaller size then the 540 motor that is standard in the rc world. Because it is really not a hobby car at all I wouldn't try it. Instead I would get something lkike the HPI Sprint. But you don't have to listen to me. Go ahead and try it.
