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

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) tongue.gif
*
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. smile.gif

Yes, exactly 27 this year tongue.gif 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. tongue.gif

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  flex.gif

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?

Nah, too old for that.
Besides, all new cars are not my cup of tea.
*I prefer all classic cars like MantaRay, AeroSolitude, Proto and Liberty Emperor.
The only car of next generation after those mentioned above that i had was Fully Cowled(sp?) Magnum Saber

Anyway, im suprised that these Tamiya racing is still going on after more than 15yrs of its existance
*
Yeap, same here. Those classic cars always look good and authentic; it goes very well with the anime too. Last time, we loved to use Black Special Astute, Liberty Emperor, Manta ray.

TAMIYA racing is still going on, but not as popular as last time. Year 1991 - 1997.

Please do check it out at my latest TAMIYA race video, here's the link:

If it is an INTERNATIONAL MINI 4WD RACE, should we create own rules and the basic come from Japanese official rule? Then, we shouldn't permit to use any particular motor like Atomic tune, the racers can use any kind of Tamiya motors. Wow, should be interesting! Next, every year each country held a race. ;p

biggrin.gif:D:D  my visa wont' let me go out of the states man. I just simply stuck in the states til i graduate. which is next 4 years.... i don't know what's gonna happen to Mini4wd now.

Well, this summer i'm gonna ask if my dad still keep my old mini4wd stuff, then my can bring it back to the states then i can do upgrades on it. I want to try out the parts on mini4wd pro.
Btw, I don't see much plasma Dash racing around.... that thing tears out the track pretty bad especially cars with alunium bearing rollers with out the rubber ring.  If you remove the rubber ring it'll increase the speed a little .  shocking.gif
*
In Singapore/ Malaysia MINI4WD rules, we're allowed to use 17/ 19mm Alum. rollers without the O-ring rubber. Yes, the car will be much faster especially during cornerings. icon_rolleyes.gif drool.gif

hmm.gif Khanhfat, do not BS us. To ship yourself via post do not need to have VISA, all you need to do just ask someone to pack you with bubble plastic wrap, water bottle, foods into the carton.

Here is the address you should ship to:
David
Tamiya Underground
B25,Basement 2 , New Wing
1 Utama Shopping Centre
03-7729 0553

Note: Do not forget to add tracking number just in case you went missing, we can track where are you.

Should we write down a list what we going to do, like what's the objective, profile and so on. I think we should create a website together with the forum, so that it allows racers to post something at the forum, but who's going to pay for the hosting and domain? Please check this site: http://www.drift.com.my/ <-- if can we should do something like that. smile.gif
