Yesterday I went to TU. Just bought one hyper dash and some gear bearings. meet with reggie there. I terforget on how to open up the motor cover part. He teach me how to do it. thanks reggie. assemble it is easy but to open it is bit hard.. I just browse through the net found this clip bit interesting. How to make this kind of suspension? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEH6BRhFY3A&NR=1

Yay!! today just bought light dash. a lightweight center chasis, large diameter narrow lightweight wheels & underside stabilizing head set everything is seems to be light but my car seems to be very very heavy. light dash and hyperdash i cannot see the speed difference...maybe my gear setting wrong? green and pink for speed track or blue and orange for technical track which one better? or is it my rubber wheels too heavy? if i change to sponge only will it be too bouncy for the landing?

Today alone playing...no one there..only chris and david. Everyone working and studying....sigh..anyone wants to play tomolo? probably morning till afternoon around 2 or 3?

sometimes i wonder why....if the car can pass the whole track the first time..if i run the sec or third time it should be passing all the courses with no problem...but still sometimes it can jump out the track. anyone can explain about this? Or sometimes do we need some element of luck to complete a certain race?

no....i cannot...today working? u not working today? i finish work at 7pm
reach home maybe around 8...if travel to TU i think already 8.30 or 9pm...they close at 10 so very rush.
maybe thursday is ok.

Added on April 5, 2010, 11:14 amHow heavy is your car? What if I put 6 mass damper 3 infront and 3 at the back? Is it confirm the car won't fly out the track? Anyway to make sure the car is lightest and still can avoid flying out from the track? any secret to this? without putting any rubber or plastic break.

Oh me not yet try the new track layout. will try it this Thursday i think. if hand too itchy maybe tomorrow after work will go...

Hey guys i want to join too. what time u guys going? i finish work at 7pm then only come i think will probably reach around 8pm.. from bukit jalil to 1U is kinda far

wow that is super far. i just scare the jams. try my best to reach early see if any tips can get from sifu-sifu there.

I just tried one pair of rechargeable GP battery 1600mah 1.2v. It is faster than the normal energizer battery 1.5v. How come my hyperdash use alot of juice from the energizer battery? if i use rechargeable it goes faster. if normal battery like energizer the speed is slower..and after two or three laps it become slow is it because of my hyper dash motor like to drink more energy from energizer battery? Or maybe my hyperdash motor that i bought few weeks back maybe a little bit problem. does this problem applys to everyone?

1.2v how come can have more power than 1.5v?

What 1600 mah for? the bigger the value the longer time it will last? any battery that has 2000 above?
which rechargeable battery better? cause for what i think here...if everytime use energizer battery during practice sure waste lot of money buy energizer battery.

so two battery power will be 3.0v for energizer and 2.4v for GP battery.
but how come 3.0v cannot produce that kind of speed? or is it i dun have gold plated terminals that make my car cannot get the highest performance from the alkaline battery energizer? cause normally when we race it is going to be energizer only.

Today who go TU after office hour? 8pm ~ 10pm anyone there?

Thanks to all reply to my battery questions. I appreciate it. Today went to TU again to play. Manage to talk to few sifu there. Get some insight on what is going to be change. wanted to buy some extra medium wheels but no stock.
The track is easy but very tricky. Most of the time I feel the car unstable during small curvy corner then the hump section. but the battery energizer that i am using is not new enough to test power.

Can i use UHU gam to stick the sponge at the FRP bumper? is it illegal? or i need to use rubber brake? currently my setup using two plastic brake in front and two at the back. and do u guys know any secret to make my wheel rubber shinning. It collect dust after a lap or two.if can i want it to be shinning and dun collect dust plus lots of grip to the track. if i use the dish cleaner solution will the rubber be more grippy? any method to make the rubber less bouncy? can i just place it under the scorching sun so that it will harden the rubber? but if too dry the rubber will crack or not? not too sure...

i dun dare to try it...is just an idea popping up "what if"..i wonder if anyone try this before can share this information together..

i think should be six...dampers and the roller blue gear is not moving part as glider at the track... is inside the wheels so should be ok... not sure..the angle looks like 10 rollers..hehehe.

i dunno if this will work... something that i think/imagine off...any possible way to make magnet stronger? can i use a stronger magnet stick at my motor so that the weaker magnet inside the motor can harness the energy of stronger magnet turn into their strong magnetic field?? will stronger magnet have any tendencies to produce a faster speed? Even if the commutator is still the same amount of coil..example hyperdash.. cause we cannot open up the motor anyway to give more magnet power to my hyper dash motor...

So the winner is bobby? Congrats! yesterday a bit tired but fun. try all ways to slow down car but still jump out of track. what kind of setup for the track yesterday? 4 mass dampers heavy or 6 mass dampers? any rubber brake? front only or back only. Can bobby share your car setup?

I notice the track yesterday can go very fast. but i try to slow it down using old battery still cannot make it stay on track. after the jump and then corner i am unable to make it all the time.

i already put four rollers in front but still cannot get a proper grip on track.

How u guys modify your car? Just a glance on what is the track setup will have a good setup? or usually try an error until the car get the fastest timing and still stays on the track? More uphill need brake in-front or more downhill need brake at the back?

There is angle..the normal one should be 3 degree down thrust. I think i will buy one extra part that can add additional 1 degree or 2 for down thrust.

hmm... wondering where is the next shop going to open? hopefully is near my place here at cheras...

Nice view bobby. let it run on ice hahaha. Put spiky tires on it.

SNSD!!!!!Girls Generation

how to make FRP brake? any tutorial?

Oh thanks for the tutorial. What is tamiya round file?
