Yup, the car is running on VS, to make a difference from others*. Although all winning cars are SFM, if managed to complete 3 laps, I think SFM hard to beat the timing.

Some tips and ideas I'd have. Feel free to discuss and correct me if I am wrong. I based my settings on Tamiya rules so I might not be able to share much on other settings which I am not familiar with.

Consider it done, setup wise will have to ask the winners tmr, unless I am one of them brows.gif

Anw, just want to confirm if the terminals used on MS Pro chassis are made of copper. Cuz I just did a check and copper has a higher conductivity than gold.

see you tmr then.

Hmm if this is the case how come there is still gold plated terminal? I know for old chassis (Super 1, TZ) they used brass or something else, thus the need for gold plated terminals. But since we now have copper terminals then aren't gold plated terminals unnecessary?

I think is marketing gimmick. For example some upgraded parts just look nicer, but they are not really useful. hehe..

X2, that is why it's gd now that we have such forums to share tips for every mini4wd ethusiasts to improve their cars icon_rolleyes.gif


Added on February 14, 2009, 11:10 pmWorking in a shop with few customers has its privileges besides getting to ogle at ladies. This is what I've found whilst serving the web on slot cars (not Mini 4wd, but those that you can control with a wire trigger) to see if there are any useful info.

http://slotcarillustrated.com/portal/forum...isplay.php?f=90

Lucky find. In actual fact, motor layout for MS PRO, and rear/front mounted motor can be called inline and sidewinder

And this is the best find I feel worth sharing:

How Torque affects weight transfer: http://slotcarillustrated.com/portal/forum...ead.php?t=27555

Much implications, because this means that:

1. for MS PRO chassis, the torque from the motor will actually "lift" the left side of the car
2. for rear motor chassis like VS, the torque will press the front of the car.
3. for SFM, the torque will lift the rear car (another reason for the superb stability on SFM)

Another one worth sharing would be:

Tyre width and traction comparison: http://slotcarillustrated.com/portal/forum...ead.php?t=26725

Yet to digest it and see how it can be applied to Mini 4wd, though I feel it would be helpful.

hello guys i'm a new mini 4wd player tongue.gif. want to ask, what is no.377 wide roller stay set (damped) for? as i know last time the no.15198 (Tamiya Rear Sliding Damper & Brake) that will actually improve cornering speed.

edited: added the code number for the old parts

Hello. I do not think the sliding damper set will improve cornering speed, 'cause it will absorb impact in fact will slow down during cornering.

thanks for reply.

if want to improve cornering speed, should i maximize the front roller width and minimize the back roller width? i'm also thinking about what roller to use since there are a lot of options. which one are your favourite? (17mm, 19mm aluminium roller vs 9mm, 11mm, 13mm ball bearing roller?)
