I used a Muscle Machine Street tuner chassis instead though. I need some help. Would a motor from like a mini rc car work? I have tons, and the muscle machine chassis is plastic. I also hace a little larger motor. I bought a 2 prong micro toggle switch, will this work?

im not sure if it would work, you would need a 3.2 mini r/c motor and you would have to run em on a 7.2, and still that would only get you a lift. mine and eveyones advise, use Ho motors. and also. you going to need a 6 prong self centering dtpd switch, just ask j for a wireing diagram

Why does it have to be 6 prong? Cant I solder 2 wires to the prongs, then solder them to the batts, then solder the batts to the motor?

it has to be 6-prong momentary toggle switch...on,off,on. that way you can make the motor spin forward and backward. a two prong will only let you spin it one direction

Why do I need the motor to spin 2 ways? Will it hop 2 diff ways?

will something like this work?

so your motor acts like a dump also..lowers the car back down

You will also notice, with the 6-prong toggle switch, that it hops better because the motor gets more speed when going back and forth...
