Nice to see you guys here!!!Thx for the support!!
So can you tell how many people join the competitions in average?
It's good to know the popularity of mini4wd all over the world first, then we can discuss whether we can setup a mini4wd international, and maybe we can run a Mini4wd world championship sometimes later!

btw, you guys see the video of 3"50 in JCJC is a mini4wd member in our club
His cars are impressive

I dont' think i have any super FM box with me.My first car is Super FM... that thing is darn fast also. I don't know why they stop develop front motors cars.

Hello Khanhfat! Super FM is good for technical courses, Rear motor chassis car is much faster than the FM ones. Recently there are some new old FM cars released like Burning-sun.

hi another crazy mini4wd racer reporting in i am a friend of mini4wd n i know echicken from youtube

does this thread different from the v3 one?

yeah semi retired racer here

i just wanna know same thing or not..
cause i dont want any redundant thread..discussing almost the same thing

are there much internation collector here?

You mean TAMIYA collector? If YES, then I am. Are you a collector too?

mini4wd is from Singapore, Echicken is from HK but in Canada now, diforce is from Germany so yeah alot of international ppl here

FM chassis cars is equally as fast as rear motor chassis cars. There's a trick that must be adhere to ensure fast FM chassis cars.Kekeke!! I generally prefer Crimson Glory over my Avante. These 2 cars are classic, I've been keeping it for more than 10 years. I believe these cars still has what it takes to win races provided I change the motor (Those days, Hyper Dash is the fastest original tamiya motor you can get)

Thanks for the info! hmm but I still think its not true, due to the front motor chassis cars has no aero dynamic. Front Motor good for accelerate, stable during jumps or lane change but high speed not as good as rear motor chassis cars.

I agreed that Hyper Dash is a fastest motor those days. I guess you're an old hand with the age around 25-29.

I believe AeroSolitude is as aerodynamic as liberty emperror.
Flat and round
Oh, im no longer Tamiya racer, already getting old.. uhuk uhuk (cough)
*Started playing Tamiya like in 1993 (back in those Zero, type-5 and fm chassis days)

Yes, exactly 27 this year What is the fastest motor now? If we were to participate in a race, is it legal to open and modify the internal parts of the motor such as the motor terminal? I used to make my own motor that can performs faster than Hyper Dash but in the expense it can't run long.

Anyway, I don't think aerodynamics really works on these mini 4wd. As we know, aerodynamics comes into play when a vehicle or an object manage to achieve a certain speed. I believe mini 4wd all boils down to the power of the motor

TAMIYA hi-end motor is PLASMA DASH, it requires rechargable battery for better performance. ULTRA DASH and JET DASH motors are also top motors, which many racers use it for race. It also depends on what kind of track are you going to race on.

For official TAMIYA races, no modifications are allowed, no spraying of motor lubicants. (shh.. I did this sometime during race.) I guess you also played AI-YU cars right?
