RC Model Airplanes/Cars/Boats - how can i do this

Question
how can i turn an elecrtic car scal 1:24 fast maybe a website or sometin and also how can i turn one of these into gas power im new in this so i really appriciate it thnx.

Answer
Saul, it all depends on what type of car it is. There are quite a few manufacturers out there that make parts called "hop ups" to make your car go faster. Check with your cars manufacturer, they may make faster motors themselves. Another thing to consider as you make your car go faster is that it will need to be able to handle the higher speeds. You should also think about improving the cars suspension and tires if you can.

Turning it into a gas  car could be very expensive and may not be worth it. Your car's very small size makes it very limited in what you can do to it so I think you may be better off considering purchasing a gas car over trying to convert this one due to a lack of parts and the cost and time it would take to custom create it.
