What a concept newbie :)
Unfortunately, in these cars that doesn't work all that well. These motors just have too much torque and speed in non-magnet form (to me anyway)
Having low cost motor options like the Minnow, M/T, etc make it a little easier on my wallet and worth the investment for me. Once the motor swap is complete, the cars simply perform at a much improved, smoother scale pace.
In any case, you will have to invest in some way. Variable power, electrical changes, chokes, etc and so forth. Not to mention the time involved. There is also that time and care it takes just to disassemble the cars, and with many of them this is the most tedious of tasks.
For me, if I am going to take one apart then you can be sure the motor of my choice is going in. Problem solved.
Although the investment in a new motor might not sound appealing, there is a bright spot: I have yet to replace any wheels/axles/gears.
These wheel sets have been very consistent. Just a quick truing on the Razor and then the tire sanding.
Good luck on your tuning approach. Hope you find the right solution.
