Hello Lowyat community, I'm a person who resides in Canada, and I've decided to come back to this hobby after a very lengthy hiaturs (almost 17 years). During this time, I've been building Gunpla (scratch building, modding them too), so I guess I could say I"m not exactly a beginner in modding. I got a few questions I would like to ask if possible.
1. Is there any point to getting the Avante MK.III Nero Stargek 10th anniversary edition? I know ones like the HEat green MA version gives you the tires that are pretty expensive, but does this one give anything special?
2. This is a long term goal, I've been watching alot of videos on mini 4wd races and such, and it seems like there are 3 main types of races/courses: Technical, speed, and a mix of both, and subcategories (like best timing, endurance, Knockout etc). If I was to, for each type of chassis, create 1 for each category (or 2, since sometimes you could use 1 car for different type of races), how many of each chassis would I need? I currently own, including my huge old collections, pretty much 5 of each chassis, including some of the new types that I bought when I did it just for collecting. THe ones I have right now are
AR x5
Super II x4
MS x4
Super TZ-X x6
Super X x3
MA x5
Super FM x6
Super XX x4
VS x5
Old FM (3 of these)
Hopefully I don't take too much of your time, and I hope to enjoy building these and possibly racing these (mini 4wd not too popular in Canada though

). Thanks for your time in reading this!

1 YES. it comes with the same fancy super hard tyres. + lettering which makes it all cooler.
Avante Mk3 Stargek Special is actaully better than Heat Edge Green Sp. because it can support tyres up to 35mm diameter whereas Heat Edge can only support tyres up to 27mm. if I were you, I would definitely settle for the Avante Stargek instead of the Heat Edge Green Sp.
not to mention, Avante Stargek comes with see through body which is so much win in my books, Sir
2 I can't have a credible say on this as chassis selection heavily depends on geographical factor.
here in Malaysia, S2 dominates followed by MS & VS.
in Japan, VS dominates followed by S2.
if I am not mistaken, MS rules Singapore followed by fast S2's (I could be wrong on this one). not gonna mention the illegal uncle setup
mean while in the Philippines, TZ-X has made a reputation with its infamous technical setup called the
Pinnoy Settingall I can say is,
old chassis (and cowlings) break easily. so if you're into competitive play, get (almost) everything new
