I was second guessing myself about how much difference the NOS motor helped.
So I thought I'd do a little calculation of my own. RPM is the one given in the documentation. Gear Ratio is the one given on the zipzaps.com web site. MPH is actual miles per hour, an S MPH is scale MPH.
If you notice the difference between the "stock" car with a scale 140mph and the F&F NOS motor with the red gearing with a scale MPH of 299, you realize that is more than twice as fast, with possibly better handling to boot with the slick tires and better suspension!!
