install the magnets and armature from a TYCO 440X2!
LOL
stretch the brush springs a little.
I don't really think you can make it competitive though.
keep us informed of your progress.

Use a Tomy SRT motor, however I agree with Al. Perhaps with a lot of modifications and a stock Tomy motor you may win a round or two but the odds are against you.

It came under a body I'd gotten on e-bay. Might "tinker" with it,I like the pick up design with a bunch of mods it might be a better fit in a higher class

The HP7s I have use the Super G+ style brushes. Older can motors use brush barrels like Tyco 440s. That style motor could be easily swapped in and may offer more modification options. |

The HP7 might be a good candidate for the index race. Probably what you were thinking all along.

So far I've cleaned up the stock arm and put in 440 magnets. I also installed an 8 tooth predator pinion.only way to guage perf.I have is matching it against cars from last race.It has gotten faster and is pretty close to index by my hillbilly calculations.  |

Never have done anything with the HP 7. Some run fairly well but against some of the newer chassis they will have a lot of work to do.
