Hi guys, I'm a noobie too, 3 weeks into this. See faces at TU but dunno who is who hehe...

<<<------- Nah, this one is me

j/k

I've been going to TU quite often lately. See any new faces? Was there on Sunday after Lenka show.

What class? Maybe I attend for you, for a price ^^

Morning, need sleep... last night... tweaking car until late... motor cover broke T____T

Open/Close too much using brute force. The front plastic part that snaps into the main body both broken. After that my fren show me how to buka the thing properly only i learn.

This one not so big a problem. Can still hold it down with car cover + battery cover once it close. The other day worse, car flew out of TU towards parking machine. You all know what happen to my bumper la :/

Added on August 6, 2009, 10:14 amThinking of either buying new body + bumper OR reinforced gear cover (the screw-on one) OR buying new car to scrap for parts. What do you guys think?

MS-L don't come with bumper though... That's what's keeping me from buying it. Bumper sudah crack, front roller misaligned by 1mm mebbe. I can still do the straights and corners though.

Budget la budget. I think buying a new car makes more sense financially. Also, my current car the front gear is making a lot of noise. I suspect something to do with the chassis because when i swap both front gears with the back gears the noise still coming from the front. So thinking of buying new chassis oso lor.

Zomg... my fren just sent me a msg, saying hyper dash pro kenot use for race? Izzat true?

Wow nice... will probably go for 2 tone spray myself once I am done with the car...

But wait... nobody is ever done with their car right?

Thanks for your reply sonic_cd. I will try and check again when I get home. The other day I put it in and it fits very well. Also tried to turn it slowly, seems it is harder to turn when it reach a certain part of the gear. I suspect it's the chassis but I cannot prove it until I get another chassis to test. Hopefully the new car won't have the same problem.

Thanks. I have swapped the gear to the back before and the noise isn't there. I will check the gears for alignment and deformity later.

Haha reminds me of my schooldays when I put cellophane tape over the shaft then jammed the wheel in

Then perhaps a wash and re-lube is in order

Errrr.... Actually do you mean the shaft for the wheels? I think this should go to polkiuj?

What's the 75mm shafts? Can't find it on TU webby.

Hi there, name's Victor, what's yours? Went to TU last night, they no stock for the shafts

I saw got 60mm la, 75 dun have.

On the other hand, is having screw head underside of car but not the lowest point legal? Do I need to put the plastic ball cap thing?

Wah... 800 bucks for a motor...

What's the point of a car that doesn't run?

Like the one in your avatar? Must have space to display mah... and also people who can appreciate it hehe ^^

Hi guys, need some advice with this.

My motor's purple 8T pinion gear has been shifting inwards after heavy jumps/landings. It makes a grinding sound probably due to partial contact with the gear next in line. What I've done is fill up the space between the pinion and the motor with a plastic bearing and washer. See pic:

Is this good or bad? Will there be any problems with this later? Gear grinding/breaking etc. Thanks in advance.

It IS new
