The Steering system is a dead weight. Because there is no mechanism to ensure the wheels will turn towards the right direction and it cannot keep the car running straight @ straight sections.

There are a few places in SG that still have Bergkaiser. It's a very beautiful car. I like it as well. Though slight modification have to be made to fit the cover onto other chassis.

I have been using Sliding Dampers since I first started competing. The black one works like a sliding damper. It's made from reinforced plastic so it does not bend as easily as the earlier ones.

I install the sliding damper at the rear so as to achieve a turning effect during turns.

THANKYOU, BLACKROSE!! hahaha
i'll c if david has it at TU.. if not, might tumpang him to buy since his goin down to SG next week..
haha.. is it ok, david tamiya? biggrin.gif

Will slow down the car in a corner if you put the sliding damper in front. Put in the rear and it will achieve a faster cornering.

If put the damper in front, car will change direction towards the wall, thus generating resistance and slowing the car down.

However if put in the rear, the car will change direction away from the wall, reducing the forward resistance of the car pushing on the track wall.

It is the same concept as to narrow/wide roller width front, wide/ narrow roller width rear.

However only use the chrome spring. The black spring is too soft.

haha smoking the cover I have never heard about the method. I tried searching @ google before the tutorial but the only thing I found was powder painting.

Perhaps you might want to add a bit more info on what is smoking the poly-cover?
