how exactly do they turbo charge your car?

I insalled that one myself. It's an external turbo, so I didn't need to send it to Dinball for installation. It has six wires and you hook it up to a bunch of different places on the car. I don't know how it works, I just like it.:D It also allows you to run hotter motors without frying the $100 ESC.

Nice, I thought the Turbo is like a ESC.

The turbo is an ESC, it just bypasses the stock ESC.

It allows you to run hotter motors that would fry the origional ESC without the turbo.

T Man, what motor mount is that? Is it that new "central" kind or is it simply missing the "cover"

It's teh MZ313A. It holds the stock motor using the spacers or you can screw the motor in like I did.

I'm sorry, but I don't see the screws. Maybe its just me, but it doesn't look like a motor mount that I've seen before.

The screws are on the pinion side of the motor, like all GPM motor mounts. You might be thinking about the top screws that take the place of the top motor plate. That motor mount has a clip like the stock motor mount that fits on the outside to hold non-GPM motors, and it has the GPM style screw holes.

Kinda like this:

Sorry for the mess of wires, that was before I redid my chassis setup ;)

Ahhhh!

Thanks Russ. I'll probably have to get one of these motor mounts then since the Ferrari 355 body is so tight. This would really help!
