When last time I started Tamiya, 1 standard car only cost around RM22.90.

I wonder how much it cost now?

If I remember correctly, 1996 a car should cost around RM28.90 - RM32.90.

Now this is the first time I've heard of Gokey.

I checked Shopee and their cars are selling now at around RM7 only. WTF!

I personally modify these motors. It's either you reduce the coil of the wire which allows it to go faster but heats up fast. Or;

Use thicker wires. You need soldering tools to make it work.

If it's a yellow cap, I assume you're referring to the 'Torque Tuned' motor.

This motor is slow

last time Tamiya was introduced by 2 Japanese women which runs their shop in SS2, above the Salvation store.

Do you remember the store name?

I never knew there was another shop selling Tamiya there.

All I knew was there is another shop selling Tamiya above Babyland at SS2.

Fastest motor back then were those Taiwanese motor. It cost about RM70 and it was damn fast.

The plastic body of Tamiya cars can't withstand the speed, so you need to install some metal plating.

Eh, got ma.. They provide the stock motor which was damn slow to begin with.

Nope. 3rd party stuff made by Taiwan.
