thanks man...newbies here and great info there...currently the 2 tires at the back are larger than the front 2

no wonder my car look like slowing down during corners

need to spend trimming the other 2 tires then

this what makes me love this thread....

Grab 2 sets of this Basic Tune up set.. Item no. 15435

Double the front and rear plate for better strength..

Next, ball bearings for wheels, ball bearing rollers, motors, front and rear brakes.

Use stock wheels first as the stock medium diameter wheel with the low profile tires are pretty stable.

For brakes, try the sponge one first. Bila dah pandai nanti you can try the FRP plate one.

Thank you!

Brace your eyes...

Hahahaha....TERBAIK!!.....the colour look funky

wah so colourful rainbow car

As promised to all Mini 4WD lover in this forum...my toys finally arrived

the price??let's just put it this way...enough to pay your 'P' license fee

I rather recommend Basic Tune Up Parts for AR Chassis (item no. 15450) because the 15435 rear mounting is a tad easy to break.

Alamak. Bought the standard one oredi. Arghhh....

common mistake by a re-starter. i was too before. didn't know a tune set existed. lol.

sexynyeeeeeeeeeee

next on my waiting list:
Super Avante White Special
Avante MK 2 Black Special
Avante MK 2 V Special

Well, I assembled using the standard plates (double front & back). Used the larger rollers to make it straight. Had to change the layout of the rear rollers because the bottom plate had less than 2mm clearance from the ground. This AR chassis is really low...

Gonna airbrush the body tonight.

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 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
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

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

when you want a wider wheelbase or when you want to use the 'tebuk the rim method'

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.

And also breaking in motors, also by soaking it into zippo liquid, or filling in lubes in the whole motor. There is no touching parts besides the contacts inside a dynamo, unlike cylinder based engines.

So I'm really skeptical.

People please explain to me. Tq.

The ar one looks nicer but the 9mm mount easier to break. Either one must stack it or double so that it last longer.

The zippo fluid helps to wash the oil so that ot has less friction internal but at the cost of wearing out the bearing. Oil are sticky hence racer wash it away but it also means the bearing at easier to spoil or stuck

Looks who's come to my garage tonight..

lol... i guess both the universal and the ar version have their weakness, both have common place to break.

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