Designed to help get the car back on track if it tilts on track wall. Also slows down the car a little bit on inclines but not that much compared to a front brake setup.

hi, thanks. but to increase braking power during incline slopes, can always add more sponge what hehe

i see these days really seldom people use one-way wheels. mostly go for fixed wheels.

is it because one-way wheels not very significant anymore in terms of performance for cornerings? last time quite popular  ohmy.gif
*
I still got One Way Wheel Set, but seldom use because
1. my (One Way Wheel) set is small wheel set. I prefer mediums any given day
2. slow la during semi speed & semi tech. sure kena cucuk by other racer one haha

unless the (full tech) track got only a handful of straight pieces, then I'll use la my One Way Wheel Set. itu pun only the front wheels use it. rear wheels just use normal wheels. please dont ask me why, I just do it hahahahaha tongue.gif

sometimes it's just a random check.

if your box is tiny most of the time they just let go. but my box this time is about 13"x 10"x 3"

tamiya parts also fall under RC toy category, which is 5% + 10% duty and tax applies if the total value is more than RM200.
*
so how much did they charge you for tax? tax and duty are not the same ah? icon_question.gif
tax is cukai. duty is? rclxub.gif

Hye all otai..im just wanna join this hobby any suggested to newbie like me..what chassis n build good to do? Suggest me motor too if can.. so noon here..nowdays all my friend call me race but me not yet have a car =,=

MS : easy to tune
Super 2 : competitive (ramai guna)
VS : fun. but good luck

MS : Mach Dash & Hyper Dash.
but if you're playing at LTP, I say get all motors. Rev Tuned, Torque Tuned, Atomic Tuned, Light Dash. they will all come in handy

Super 2 / VS : Power Dash, Sprint Dash, Hyper Dash 2
but again, if you're playing at LTP, don't bother getting the 2 motors (Sprint and Power)

don't follow what I say 300% because at the end of the day, it all bounds down to you and your personal preference(s).

Have fun wink.gif

woooo! sorry for the late reply. was away for KLIMS. only managed to score Top 80. I lost trying to qualify to Top 50 to Jai (of Speed Houz). His car is a speed demon sweat.gif all-out massive respect to Jai. KLIMS was intense! great layout. format was Semi 'yang terlebih' Speed. designed by Dasa. thank you Dasa! best gila rclxm9.gif
crowd was great too! the cheering and everything was plain mad and fun.

btw, back to the topic. is MA as easy to tune as MS? I broke like 3 nose units of MS in less than 4 weeks playing hahaha. everytime I break the nose unit, I learned a new way to reinforce it. good learning process, bad for my wallet though.
but, MS is soooo easy to tune for Semi Tech & Semi Speed la. too easy makes it boring sikit. is it the same for MA? I mean, is it easy to tune? if it is, I wanna pindah to VS or Super 2 pulak.
I find Super 2 is a cheaper chassis to work on with compared to MS.
e.g : RM 25 = 2 Sets of Super 2 Chassis (RM 12.50 for a chassis)

.....but for MS is as follows
RM 20 (for normal black coloured Nose & Tail unit) or RM 33 (for red reinforced N04 / T04) or RM 33 (for bumperless LED Nose & Tail)
+
RM 20 (for lightweight centre)
= RM 40 - RM 73 for only 1 set rclxub.gif

in a nutshell, it's RM27.50 - RM 60.50 difference in price per chassis comparing MS with Super 2 sweat.gif

One thing I really don't understand about online tutorials teaching people to soak bearings into zippo liquid.

Zippo liquid does not have lubricant nor protection properties. It makes ball bearing dry and it could cause wear out bearings.

So I'm really skeptical.

People please explain to me. Tq.

I can't explain how it works. all I know is that my 19mm lightweight alum rollers spinning so flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy with the zippo method rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

color chassis quality is different, it's softer compare normal from the box.

MS used to have color chassis too, it show you are still new~~it come 2 in 1 pack...full chassis(center+nose and parts).

MS is more upgradeable, and more fun... as for me MA is easy as MS, but the launching speed is a bit slower due to it weight.

by the way, WTA About Wheel Types

Carbon wheels are stronger and lighter compared to normal (stock) plastic wheels. right?

But what about Aluminium wheels? what are their specs and where do they stand? really am curious hmm.gif are they stronger and lighter compared to carbon ones? because they sure are expensive, selling at 35SGD per set (4 wheels)
carbon wheels are like RM 33 a pack for a set of 3 (12 wheels) haha sweat.gif

carbon wheel is harder, but it's heavy compare to normal stock plastic(PP) wheel. and it more likely to broken compare to normal plastic due to it less elasticity...

so carbon wheels are actually not a worthy upgrade then? rclxub.gif
they cost more, weighs more, easier to break...
