make sure you use motor shaft from the stock motor
because some motor shafts like power dash is slightly (marginally) thicker in diameter so it might give problem with your roller bearings afterward. i still have some rollers stucked with the motor shaft and unable to take em off because too freaking tight. it could ruin the bearing.

Tried pinion puller for 830's and tyre puller for 19mm's? smile.gif

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 sad.gif ). Thanks for your time in reading this!  smile.gif  biggrin.gif

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 wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif

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 tongue.gif
mean while in the Philippines, TZ-X has made a reputation with its infamous technical setup called the Pinnoy Setting
all I can say is, old chassis (and cowlings) break easily. so if you're into competitive play, get (almost) everything new smile.gif

hg immi is fully 100% carbon tu yang sedap.
tamiya's only outer je. dalam fiber.
ceramic bearing is gooding. but in terms of sizing, its fatter than AO.
nak buek camno. must have 1 car full immi including the ceramic bearings. lol.
*
....but Along of DYS expects the price of his ceramic bearing to be RM 30. PER PIECE *FAINTS*
still gonna purchase a set just for the heck of trying it out though

full immi? not gonna happen. Tamiya still makes the best chassis. the plastic quality. the molding. I am aware of Don's 3rd party chassis. lmao
tyres too, I don't trust the immi's

Thanks for the response AF21, but I would like to for each type of chassis create one of each for the different type of races there are, so would that mean, from what i've read, I need 3-5 for each chassis?

How do you race in Canada? And mini 4WD isn't as easy it sounds. I mean, just because I can tune an S2, doesn't mean I can easily tune a VS

True, but like you said, i rather get the XX chassis, 70 bucks for just a bigger tire :/ Can't those tires be also bought separately as an upgrade part? different color but similar purpose isn't it?

You just missed out on the JCUP 2014 tyres. Comes with the large diameter low profile hard tyres + carbon rims sweat.gif
If you are lucky, you might still find it on sale

Same tyres properties of that of Cross Tiger VR. Only in a different colour.

Why don't you just get the Neo Falcon MA-15? It's cheap and going to be readily available anytime soon.
Comes with the hard large diameter low profile tyres. As for the SXX chassis, you can get it in the Evo (that you plan on getting from me)

Played VS for semi speed last weekend. Was my first. I had so much fun!
Since I've played MS, AR, S2 before, what I can say about VS that sets it apart is that it is very light.
Launches nicely and have a decent ability maintaining average (mid) speed.

The downside is that I have problem with dropping in tight slopes. Some semi speed tracks provide only 1 or 2 pieces of straight after a down slope (I call it a slope drop) before making a tight 180 degree (or less) turn.
I notice my car glides its way through making for a course out. Nothing with a little damper adjustment can't fix smile.gif

My say is, the Japanese style VS is really fun to play with. Though I haven't tried it out competitively as for now
