indonesia too..bt that would make 5

4 is not 5

Thinking to make a speed car so wanna ask some sifu for opinion: usually I saw the setup for speed is using small size roller, is it faster compare to big size roller?

now that you mention it, it's more likely indonesia, since there is tamiya philippines in the pinoy land.

Most of the time speed setup uses AO 830 because of
- lightweight factor
- smoothness (compared to large size roller with 520 bearings, or 9~13mm roller bearings) Tamiya's AO 830 bearing is the best choice due to easy maintenance and doesn't rust.

Lightweight, idk. Never weigh rollers.
Second point is true all the way. I'm not falling for the 19mm conspiracy wakakakaa

both rear and front also using ao830? How about the front roller angle? Need to adjust (due to high speed)?

Minimal angle, just enough that the car won't fly at corners.
Sometimes you could do with zero (or near zero) angle, depending on the layout

But for speed with LC, you'll definitely need some angle to help counter the LC

Speed w/ LC is dead (I think). If you play atomic tuned, people will blame we kopek engine. So what's the point

Thanks for the inputs =)

but why using atomic tuned will be blame? That motor is legal to used in race right?

Kiasu. They don't believe Atomic Tuned can go super fast haha

using Atomic Tuned engine in speed events? where thou? dats sound awesome dude..usually people use Sprint Dash..btw i think i'll open sale by end of this month..gonna have some must-have kits (collectors cant resist them) & normal kits..i think only for Malaysia buyers since i dunno how to appropriately handle international buyers (postage+cash transfer)..stay tuned

Really? Faster than sprint dash? all of the while I think 27k rpm sprint dash is the fastest

Sprint Dash can't cross bridge LC bro. Your speed car will treat that bridge LC like a slope and fly like Buzz Lightyear deii

Was made popular in Kanto. Then practiced it at Tamiya Underground. Then people start la saying engine kopek and what not. Malas nak layan and the format was not played anymore
I think if you go on YouTube you can find Edward Heng's old channel. You can see his speed car utilises double rollers. That's a high probability he's playing High Speed w/ LC or High Speed atomic tuned

just like @AF21 said, sprint dash will not be able to pass bridge LC

if you watch japan speed races, their layout only use LC due to original Tamiya 3 lane circuits only comes with bridge type LC. and for this, their races are often limited to torque tuned or atomic tuned, and sometimes rev tuned motor only... not because the organizer says so, but due to the layout restriction.

when you have light weight and FRP reinforced VS chassis with full bearing transmission, and ultra large diameter tires ... running on flat course, it's really really fast even on atomic.

The guys in Kuching occasionally does speed + LC races since last year. Haven't actually seen the same kind of race anywhere locally, lately. I tried to organize one last year, but not many interested even with cheap entry fee

I doubt even Sprint Dash with Arched Tyres can cross bridge LC. Don't even wanna try....lolz

1 question, may I know where can I buy ori super 2 chassis? I need just the chassis. Thanks
