ALERT : RANTS INCOMING. AVOID READING IF POSSIBLE

shops closing no problem, TU still got. and we try to be more lenient about the full ori rule.
we pejam sebelah mata je. kau nak datang ke tak, itu nasib hidup kau la.

this is not 2006 or 2008 where it is easy to get full ori parts (and avoiding immi counterparts). dulu barang immi would be those 9 Products or Daisheng yang FRP besi petir petir tu. memang ketara immi. nowadays immi coming way too close to the ori parts. especially 1.5mm HG carbon plates.

items like locknut, screws (especially allen key), semua tu pakai buang je and supply pulak is very low.
kalau TU got stock, lain cerita la. ini stock pun takda, nak sembang full ori. bukan racer taknak main full ori, tapi kalau supply pun takda, nak full ori apa benda?
korang pulak nak main laju, nak main laju, kena parts HG. kalau brek HG dah 1.5mm double layered, ingat senang ke nak scan immi or ori.
furthermore, I myself punya brakes pakai buang. dah shave few times and it still doesnt perform, buang je. buat baru. nak beli ori RM48 brand new in pack. haha

itu satu point, another point is that we want more racers to come in and play, not a bunch of 40 elitist controlling the scene.

ori or immi, itu semua kepuasan diri sendiri.

fyi, you people using immi flat screw is way better than newbies (yang di ajar 24238935-kali) using ori screw, tapi scratching the track like a bij  rclxub.gif

nak main immi boleh, tapi jangan immi ketara la. underguard clear la, rim Vossen la, rim TE-37 la, roller ninja shuriken warna macam macam la, Astute rentung la bagai. itu memang free free la mintak kereta kena campak kat dinding (pernah berlaku zaman Mendiang) hahahahaaha  tongue.gif

that is all for now, see you on the 28th!  notworthy.gif

campak kereta ? familiar leh / XD

Hi Guys,

It's me again with a question. I hope you're still active even though I read a lot of closing shops on this thread.

How do you reinforce the front of Super FM? Speedtech racers here restricts drilling holes on chassis. So the Youtube video I saw is not applicable where in you drill a hole and screw the FRP sad.gif I mentioned to them that Super FM should be at least allowed just to reinforce as we all know it easily breaks. Isn't it justifiable? And then they overprice and hoard Carbon FM from $5.00 to $15.00. *pissed* Even 2nd hand Carbon FM's are around $15.00.
I wish you have a video of your car jumping on the ramp. Same here, my car tumbles like on the video on my first try on the ramp. In the end, we all made our cars slower to prevent it to go off track.

take the frp and cut it to shape , or soak some cotton wool in superglue and put it in the front (rule dependent ) or use putty and reinforce the fron area .

as le above.
depending of rules as well.
i wonder why u guys dont allow to drill hole ;(
overall, its still tamiya and the japaneze loves to drill and cut and paste alot!
meaning ur rules is much more superior than the japs -.-'
*
dunno , my own sfm , been using the same method for a long time now which involves drilling 2 holes in the front there ... maybe the TU rules is different gua

Any videos or pix about it? I heard about cotton and super glue. You mean you put cotton underneath the FRP plate and inside the front bumper?

What about the FRP and cut to shape?
All I can think of is unjust marketting. Unjust because u tend to buy FM chassis but CFM are hoarded and overpriced. Local speedtech racers here said that they are following the "Manila rules" which they also follow Japan Rules. Japan Rules with extra restrictions. I just also heard that Super XX EVO parts are banned for race here O.o

the cotton one is put inside the front bumper ..cutting the frp also possible , but is a bit longer

eh Sonic, I noticed SFM selalu max out their 165 length rule. especially for semi speed LC track (where the roller angle is steep) why ah?
is the chassis longer or what? LOL

Hey guys, I have a question to ask. It's about the MA Chassis and AR Chassis's rear brake skit.

I know the rear brake skit will help both chassis but the question is, will the large-diameter wheels renders it useless? I asked this because I want this car: Shooting Proud Star

(Yep, it's another Shooting Star, if you have watched or read Dash! Yonkuro anime and manga.)

I want this car so much because of the performance of the MA Chassis and the fact that this car makes its debut in Hiroyuki Takei's Hyper Dash! Yonkuro manga, but I don't know if I should buy it because of its large-diameter wheels.
*
it won`t render the tyres useless , because its mounted away from that area .

Er-hem, I mean the stock brake skit that comes with every AR Chassis and MA Chassis car kits, not the grade-up parts one.

The reason I am worries about it is because with the large-diameter wheels the chassis has higher ground clearance than it was with the small-diameter wheels, but the brake skit's ground clearance will raise far away from the ground.

It's not 'render the tyres useless' but rather 'render the brake skit useless'. So any advises?
*
ah ok i get what you mean , yeah adding a spacer can work ,but you have to do it so that it leaves a gap of 1mm or roughly a 5 cent coin from the skid bottom to the ground ..
or you can mount something like the pic below..

anyhow the rear skid brake that comes in stock AR/MA become useless,as you go faster over time, tbh..

true , but then again it provides braking @ just the right amount , not like the frp or rubber pads type .
