no it won't make your car faster or slower. by usin' a light kit, you are only draining more battery. and why would you want to take them off anyway?

my bad

the only real way to get more power is a more powerfull drive

the board will give plenty of power to a crawler motor more than is needed
i take it he is using a servo for drive ? if that is the case try one with a higher kg rating

servo's are mesured by how much force they give on rotation

a micro servo will give around 1kg (kilogram) of force larger servos upto 15kg

take a look on ebay have a look at the specs
id be looking for a 9g servo with metal gears and ballbearings this will give you around 3kg without having a masive servo stuck on your truck
