as i heard from the boss @ gathering zone, there might be a bigger race on 22 march where 1st prize will be a RC car. but this is not confirm though. eelen know about thing about the 22 march race?

i took some photo for yesterday's race also. i was shocked when i reach there it was raining and there was a race going on. i tried twice and end up my wheels was loose and my front wheels was detach from my car (luckily i found all my ball bearings). then it rains for 2nd time, me and black rose went to nearby mcdonald to have some food and good discussion about car settings. later i'll post the picture of individual winner's car and the track.

btw, is there anyway to save the wheel? it is pretty loose now... i heard from someone long time ago we can put double sided type into the wheel's hole. does it works?

★TECHNIQUE◆Shaft Penetration on Wheel◆Ver.1

It is a way of shaft penetration today, wheel coming off while running and you’ll be searching for the missing wheels or bearings.

my gunbuster XTO silver modded version biggrin.gif

after being dust collector for 10 years, the hyper dash and atomic tuned motor are gone. the rubber ring for the middle rollers split into tiny pieces... i guess the ball bearings, sponge tires and the wheel are usable...

Qns.        Which car will land in a shorter distance?

Let's say there are 2 cars of the same design, Car A and Car B.
I add some weight to Car B in the centre, and use a pair of slightly powerful battery for Car B to compensate for its speed reduction due to weight.
Car A and B travel at the same speed and reach a jump in the track..which car will land in a shorter distant??
*
IMO, car A. since car B have heavier weight but still running at the same speed, it has greater momentum and the car might bounce harder during the landing.

u need a smooth drive train which reduses battery power loss
if can use all new bearings make sure u take out all the grease in it and put bearing oil
*
what is smooth drive train? is it the gold plate?

i found tutorial on how to clean ballbearings, but i'm not familar with their brand / language so it give me some headache figure out what is what. mind do a tutorial on how to clean the bearings? biggrin.gif

btw, isn't spray oil into the motor is forbidden? i heard japan ban it due to it makes the track dirty or some other reason.

then clean the bearings
apply bearing out then u are ready to go

we use water to clean the bearing and wipe it with cloths right? i'm thinking will the bearing rust if i clean it with water since they is going to be small water particle trap inside the bearing.
