yeah i have 2 still and im only 18..i had the bathurst one and the one that went up the wall..think its called the thunderloop thriller?..anyways i used to sit there for hours making differnt tracks and wat not..cleaned the tracks with a rubber eraser so the cars had better contact and everything

and i never did it but was told if u took a few coils out of the copper coil they went even faster?

those AFX cars are tiny, how would you be able to make changes to the motor without wrecking the whole car? anyway i think it was best you didnt try...

got a few meters upstairs to.. afx and scaleletrix... with the afx if you get some tweasers you can unwind the motor, then turn on 3 or so turns of heavy gauge wire,, for insane speed, they dont last long though, usually end in a cloud of smoke after 20 or 30 minutes, but they are eay enuff to built,,, and the hot wheels speed radar gun thing is great to mesure there speed,,, fastest so far is 1160 scale kms an hour.... oh im 34 by the way, just havent grown up
