I don't recall how fast they go, but I've seen them move along fairly fast, judging from a distance. I would guess that they will move 90 pounds with that kind of reduction, although the performance won't be anything to shout about.

Also, they will overheat, and I know the FP motors we use in first tend to melt easily. These look very much like the FP's, so consider that when you go to use them.

I believe the weight limit on the cars is 80 lbs, and only 2 motors are used to power them, not 4. I believe 4 motors would more than handle 90 pounds. I will still need to "gear em down", do you know of any "gear geniuses" that may be able to help me with getting a nice gear reduction?
