Started off with the basic Shadow Shark AR kit (WP_001558.jpg), then added single plate (WP_001560.jpg). After that decided, single plate not enough, added another plate to the bottom (WP_001561.jpg).
Only not sure of the rear rollers setup (WP_001564.jpg). Does it look strong enough? Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(ShinKen @ Dec 3 2013, 08:06 PM) 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 want a challenge ar ? use super fm then .. XDcrowd 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 QUOTE(toa cheng @ Dec 4 2013, 02:48 AM) i wanna see |

QUOTE(soulfly @ Dec 3 2013, 05:31 PM) I rather recommend Basic Tune Up Parts for AR Chassis (item no. 15450) because the 15435 rear mounting is a tad easy to break. QUOTE(mudster @ Dec 3 2013, 06:05 PM) I prefer the universal one as I can mount the brake further back = more brake time.QUOTE(mudster @ Dec 4 2013, 12:18 AM) Started off with the basic Shadow Shark AR kit (WP_001558.jpg), then added single plate (WP_001560.jpg).

Anybody using tappered double rollers? Is the tappered design really that significant?

QUOTE(soulfly @ Dec 3 2013, 08:31 PM) One thing I really don't understand about online tutorials teaching people to soak bearings into zippo liquid. this might sound too educational and boring, so ignore this if u hate chemistry 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. basically, zippo liquid is scientifically known/made using naphtha...lightest/most volatile fraction type of hydrocarbon liqiud from petroleum. In contact with metal, this type of liquid may prevent oxidation of iron - process known as Inhibitor/Corrosion inhibitor. It's not seeable to naked eyes, but the present of air n oxygen, iron/metal tend to oxidize = rust = extra friction It's not lubricant but it works to smooth/clean the surface of ball bearing as it's an anti-oxide subtance. In fact, this is used as cleaning solution for watches parts during servicing (different brand/type, not zippo liquid la). I guess there are many other ways to smoothen ball bearing and IMO, logically using zippo liquid is kinda acceptable. correct me if I'm wrong. Friendly reminder: Please use this product with extra precaution. It has lots of side effect when come into contact with human skin. Do not attempt to drink/swallow/inhale the liquid. |

But most people just follow others, so they don't really understand the after effect. To me, any moving parts especially metal/iron that makes contact needs to be lubricated to ensure its lifespan. Zippo liquid cleans bearings, but afterwards it also creates friction and could wear out the ball bearing. But I guess ball bearings are cheap to replace, so it doesn't matter to most people. |

I do soak my bearings in zippo liquid for cleaning, then spray with SC 99 and apply some singer oil to it (don't know any cheap lubricant yet - newbies |

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. ![]() ![]() |
