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.

has anybody used this product before? if you have, what's your review on this?  icon_question.gif
does it really help in braking & protecting? or, is the conventional Ice Cream Stick FRP Method still the best?

how much is the current market price for HG aluminium large diameter wheels? the 4 bijik set blue color one. trying to survey on yahoo auction for those good deal ones. my friend looking for a set.

This one is expensive brah. Roughly ard RM80++ for a set of 4.

Never been to Stargek SG, but the stuffs are legit because it is also available at Tamiya Underground (but once stuffs like this goes up on display it runs out in a matter of hours over there).

I've been thinking to do the same as it is legal to do so as long the parts are still original Tamiya. Powder coat 'em perhaps?

I love MA, using the aluminium plate rear damped roller setup is nice! u get the fast and stable cornering action that looks like a mini drift in corners and u get some extra weight at the back to help dampen the rear end of the car when landing from jumps!

landing from jump isn't slightly more weight in the front better? because the nose would dive first and make the body landing position flat (naturally when it jumps nose normally up).

No worries abt that as I am using the aluminium dished wheel up front and some 2.5g mass dampers up front with super hard tires all around lol.

any problem with the clearance at the chassis near the battery part?

i want to get some large diameter tires, but not sure which one would have the correct clearance.
tried the 30th anniv. Super X/XX wheels... doesn't fit  blush.gif

After weeks... I still haven't finished doing my mini4wd yet. All the parts I wanted to use either quickgrabbed by my friends or other folks around here till I left with nothing.
Even when I keep buying new stuffs, I could keep anything for myself lol.

I still need my red 13mm alu red ringless, a set of large diameter wheels and motor.

You can either trim the bodywork, or buy a rim with a longer hub + 60/72mm reinforced shaft but u need to check that the width of the car doss not exceed Tamiya rules. If i'm not mistaken, width must not exceed 105mm.

I am using the large diameter three spoke carbon reinforced rim ( the one that comes with clear soft slick tires) .
