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

MA has devilish cornering skills too. Sadly I threw away 2 black MA's today. Sad case.
Was drilling the rear bumper screw hole using a Dremel with a 2mm drill bit. But it wiggled. Literally destroying the whole screw hole on each chassis. To the garbage bin, it goes

Wowwwww! What grit of sand paper did you use?

200 I think... could have used lower grit too. LOL.

Are HG or aluminium rims better than normal 5 spoke rims?

I got some plated cowls

Guh I want that, but dyna hawk GX black special is 50 bucks cheapest on amazon xD

nahhh what?? 50 bucks?? thats insane dude..if your're lucky u'll find it around 35 bucks + delivery here in Malaysia

I live in Canada so with delivery to here it's pretty mcuh the same price. Btw is the Dash X1 Proto Emperor Premium purple worth getting?

depends on how you use them.
some people like heavy wheels, but some prefer lighter setups

where did u get those? do they really come together like that?


it has no more than collectible value as far as i'm concerned.

thanks won't be getting it then.

Before we further continue with your countless inquiry, you should know there are 3 categories of people in the Mini 4WD scene.
1. Racers
2. Collectors
3. (Cosmetic) builders

Determine which one you are.
Of course, there are several hybrids deriving from the 3 main categories such as racers cum collector, racers cum builder etc.

Even though I won't be doing it because due to where I am at, I want to be mainly a racer type. I will collect a certain kit ONLY if the kit has something that usually can't be obtained (i.e. like the tires or hardened chassis).

Happy Chinese New Year everyone btw!

I think in Malaysia here we are a bit spoiled because we can get loose parts, so sometimes there is no need to buy a kit. Limited edition kits, in complete box as it is, are usually bought by collectors. And we also have the choice of buying only specific parts like wheel sets only, chassis only, etc.

Yeah i rely on HLJ, Hobby Search and BanzaiHobby, Banzai has usually the most parts, but their shipping now *grumbles* for a box that could fit in about my backpack, they're charging me about 150 bucks for it :/ (guessing it has something to do with insurance in EMS) for stuff worth about 300.

Banzai shipping is like the most expensive among the 3 that I don't even bother ordering car kits from them anymore.
Their stuff always ran out of stock pretty quick too.
I would only order small parts, in big quantities, and get em shipped using the cheapest method (the normal shipping without tracking). A bit risky, but so far I never had any bad luck with Japanese shipments *touch wood*

No laaa..i bought it as combo where the seller owned pretty other rare decent plated cowls

Sorry. Not a fan of Blacktuners kind of stuff. I'm more inspired by hand made DIY customs like the japs (BIG & TTS)
anyhow. Just as we were speaking about MantaRay yesterday, look what I found

BIG and COB are my favs

Blacktuners make their cars for show off, while BIG (and the likes) actually race their cars.
