I'm from Vietnam.. i used to play mini4 since 1999. in 2004, i took off and fly over USA to study.
My first car was FM. I can't believe they have front motors car. I won my first race with it too, then got beaten with upgraded cars. First time i join the race with that Strato Vector and no upgrades. It's still able to win with the Orange motor.
Front bumper of FM is weak.. i breaks 2 of them. They should make an FM- X like they did with TZ X. it's gonna be badd as s.
when I look at the track in the video, how can you guys manage the Jump. Races in Vietnam doesn't have bridges and Jumps like that one. Only interchange lanes bridge. Those jumps reminds me of something new that you can try, which i still remember from old vids of Japanese races from a tape that they show in Vietnam. The trick is : They put high power fans to blow the car during a straight run ( reminds me of Let's go first few chapters). Why don't some of the organizers put those fans to blow while the car starts to jump on the bridge? It'll be cool
I've seen some of you guy's car put down force wings on the body, Why don't you try to flip upside down to see what happen. Like in planes,
the wing flip up ____// makes the plane go up. if the wing flip down ---\\\ like that it'll make the plane go down. -----(wind)--->>> -----(wing)---\\\ which results a better down force to keep the front down???
So why don't some of the player try this. I don't know if it's common sense in aero physic or not but it's worth to try to prevent the car from jumping too high. The wing can be put in the rear, front, and middle. I'd prefer to put it in the middle.
It's just an idea pops out of my head. You guys should try it.
By the way, Vietnamese car sticks with roller extension alot, which we use both of Roller extension in front and back of the car + 19mm ( if i'm right) rollers. 2 pairs in the back and 1 pairs in the front so the car will completely fit int the track. Only a little space between roller and wall. I don't know if many of you try this set up before, it may be old to you guys. Wider extension can result harder landing after jumps so it may be not good in you guys's Malaysia track).
The trick in using the Extension is we can bend the extension plate in higher angle than the original( use a pincers) , which results more down force of the front bumper and stable jumps in Change Lane Bridge ( how do u call it?) and curves. Higher angle of the front roller results more down force but don't bend them too much though. Just slightly over 3 or 5 degrees more.
My car used to jumps out a lot but after i did this trick, it's stop flying out at those bridges. This only works most effective with alunium rollers with rubber ring outside.
My trick above may be old, has any one try it yet? I mostly see you use FRP plate and nothing else, I was like " how can you guys keep the car in track with bearings rollers while passing the bridge?"
what u have played is like what the Italians are playing now high speed with only the lane change as the obstacle.what we play is more to technical which is more fun and challenging.i hope more of u guys can share this kind of experience so we all can learn more bout mini4wd racing all around the world.
