Just made two sets of FRP reinforcing plate as brake pad. Sadly the sponge brake set is out of stock.

I've use filling kits and 3 second glue. And use paper clamp to stick it hard.

Finally I'm ditching my festa Jaune big @$$ cowl for astrala/avante MK 3 Nero cowl.

Is it wise to use hex hole as reinforcement for the rollers screw to avoid damage/bent.

is it better to put big diameter rollers (17mm-19mm) on the rear than smaller ones?

i always thought smaller ones are better on cornering sweat.gif

saw many people actually prefer big ones
*
I've tried HG 19mm seems stable in semi speed. When I tried 13mm great for speed.

Yes. It's commonly used.

Since is commonly used. Why I still see some users using FRP brake plate for front? Or both works the same? Which is your preferred choice for front brake?

Is better to use hex hole than aluminium spacer to cover the bolt for rollers to avoid damage in track which causes it to bent.

depends on ur preferences.. some ppl prefers to spend RM11.. some ppl prefers the easier way, and pay RM20.. the effect is still the same. smile.gif
*
But I prefer the rm 18/20 front under guard set. At least my finger won't get stuck with "3 second glue". sweat.gif

As those are looking for nut driver 2mm can get Pro's Kit nut driver for rm 20 only. But won't fit on 2mm nut lock type since is 4.5mm

the best u can do as clowgod said is double roller

depends on your preferences what mm to use

for me must be smaller than rear roller so 12-13mm double roller will do
*
If faster then can use 9-8mm double rollers. Going to test out a car kit with front 9-8mm double roller with twin 830 bearing behind.

do tell us the result  rclxms.gif , what chassis are you using?

im more of a technical ones  icon_idea.gif , so much challenge and headache  sweat.gif

then again, other people car are faster than mine in overall speed though

need to swap all plastic bearings with aluminum ones and thinking of making a hanging damper
*
Based on theory should be faster as smaller rollers reduce friction. Perhaps submerge in zippo lighter fluid. brows.gif

Going to use Super chassis 2 Proto Emperor. Arch tire.

but it's kinda hard to find~
that's why I just bought 2 pairs of 9mm & 1 pair ringless 13mm rollers instead.  tongue.gif
p/s: Just went over budget again sweat.gif

But I've seen a lot of sellers selling AO 830 price range from RM 30 - 35. Is easy available right now.

Thanks~
btw, since yar on9...
does aluminum motor cooler does anything?
Is it worthy to go for aluminum gear bearing?
does the long screws come with the basic tune?
*
Aluminum motor cooler maybe cools the motor but i doubt the margin is good enough.

Is actually metal bearing gear set. Sold roughly RM 20 for MS / MA chassis. Those MS Super Speed gear set 3.5:1 ratio doesnt come with metal instead plastic bush.

Unlike Super 2 Chassis whereby the metal bearing is provided along the super speed 3.5:1 or 3.7:1 gear set.

Long screw such as 40mm are sold separately under "Tamiya Screw Set D" cost around rm 10 per pack.

sifu,
does the cap helps with the aerodynamics?
*
Caps that are closes to the edge does help a bit on keeping the track inside while the other purpose is to avoid the screw edges scratching the track wall.
