I see that there are little (what I thinkto be) resistors soldered on the power and ground of the motor. Would snipping one or more of these off give me the result I'm after...?


Thanks in advance for your help guys & gals...

You might be able to change the worm gear on the motor to speed it up. I know a few members used to do it with various halogen lightbars.

I was hoping for a quick solution that I can do right now. Where would one get a new worm gear...?

I think it will mess up the flash . You might be ahead to sell that one and find something with a dual speed such as a cadet ,Fire beam , etc

Well it was a freebie, so yes, I would be ahead, but I like the low-profile nature of it...

The 2 small items are capacitors, not resistors, if you remove them, it will producve more radio interferene.

So I assume this will not increase the speed...? LoL
