from my experience with SFM, I use front bumper guard on speed technical layouts ... those layouts with LCs.
SFM has strong front roller angle on the bumper, which is good because it will assist the downforce when going down lane changers.
However, the SFM front bumper is a bit flexible on its own, so the angle might reduce and downforce will be reduced causing the car to fly off easily at LCs.
This is when the front bumper guard plays its role, as to make sure the front roller angle doesn't change.

bro.... Avante Yellow special will be officially released next month in Japan. Imports should be cheap compared to the current price.

gold setting board belum lagi
nak angkat evo ms pun bajet tengah lari ... harap-harap sempat lagi hujung bulan atau awal bulan depan.

tamiya cruz at first selling rm100

94696 is extremely hard to obtain because it's a limited edition and long discontinued product, and if you manage to find one, it will be at a premium and overpriced value.

alternatively you can use any rear multi roller setting stay (FRP or HG Carbon, albeit the former is slightly weaker in construction).

most popular choices are:
1. HG Carbon Wide Rear Plate for AR Chassis (black, red, blue, gold)
These come in limited edition and most colors are discontinued except for the recently released gold lame version.

2. The ever popular t2 from Super XX Evo.1 kit
You can find this from the kit itself, or sold by sellers as loose parts. Not available as separate upgrade parts.

3. Rear FRP plate options depending on your creativity
- 15430
- 15243
- 15451

use battery checker to check the voltage and keep on charging until the battery reaches desired voltage reading

what kind of battery do you use?

dah siap siap booking dah hari sabtu lepas

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.

dont have those things

IKR. 520 still stuck on the shaft

the parts from MS Evo is not really that special

if you like whole silver chassis, then it's ok. Avante Nero Clear Violet (limited edition, rare) came with silver chassis also, but dark blue clips. the Evo would have all-silver chassis

the front/rear multi roller plates are almost useless because they're short and you'll need to have the side extensions to mount rollers. the last time i remember when the 3mm side extensions came out, they weren't selling like hot cakes, lotsa old leftover stocks around the world.

the wheels are black 5 spokes, and the tires are white arched, which can be easily found

i guess they're just cool for collection

it is limited edition which has been long discontinued
besides the special blue cover, it has unique blue chassis and blue large diameter wheels with low profile blue letterings which doesn't come with normal kits

that what makes it special

I got both

very very low probability that they will get re-issued though, probably around 1~2% chance? lol
since they're like low priority models and less popular, unlike those of Thundershot, Avante, those stuffs

I got it for like RM250-260-ish after conversion last time from Yahoo Japan auction, with the box dented a bit here and there

you can cut the small front wings (a.k.a. misai) at the front of the Avante cowl so that it would sit lower. will look cooler that way.


my s2 jaw setup
haven't touched this thing since the last tournament in september. left unattended and unmaintained in my pitbox lol.

edit: I actually used a different tyre/wheelset during the tournament, not the one in this pic.

picture from back then

Honestly speaking, I used the sandpaper rubbing technique to remove the wheel cover. Primitive method. LOL.
Then finish off by trimming the excess on the edges using art knife.


I still have like 2~3 sets of the reinforced yellow chassis, spares for personal use

My AR chassis setup for super speed layout. Unpopular choice for many, but it works really well on layouts with many corners and chicane.


p/s: over here in Sarawak we rarely play 'belanja layout' even for speed. LOL.

yup the carbon ones, which came with red or blue low-pro tyres
