I also got the 8448 super car, i have been playing around on the motors,
where did you mange to put the mircomotor. the steering to to stiff to move
the wheels?
I mange to power steer the car with the new motors and added a motor for the
speed, it is slooooooow.....
And it moves on gear 3 !!!, gear 4 and 5 will need a better motor.
Very nice car..
