QUOTE(terras14 @ Apr 10 2009, 11:35 PM) You need to run in your mottor if its new to make it seasoned. For normal motor there are usually 2 piece of carbon at the metal brush inside the motor so pro motor should have also. Just run your motor without load using pretty weak battery say (1.4) and run till the battery turns flat. Then redo it again using slighly stronger battery. This will shape the carbon piece inside the brush to give better connectivity and hence your motor can be faster...dun really know how to explain clearly...just my 2 cts...also rmb to spray some oil before race but i will suggest keeping away from wd40. i bought atomic tuned pro motor 2-3 weeks ago then tried it out..i dont know whether it could have been my emperor's stock spike tyres but it looked rather slow i thought i made a very bad purchase.... but i havent season the motor yet...the metal brushes inside are the standard ones rite? i bought some copper terminal brushes today for my other motor..if i change it for the atomic tuned, do you think it will be better?This post has been edited by Legendary.High5s: Apr 14 2009, 06:49 PM |

QUOTE(david tamiya @ Apr 17 2009, 03:17 PM) well if u change the brushes it will be opening the motor which is not allowed in races but the brush which comes in atomic is already the carbon ones i decided to put back the orginal brushes..so i need to season it rite?Added on April 17, 2009, 3:19 pm wow that wil be nice u can race all over the country i cant wait to see your pic by the way since u are a pro racer why dont u join us in the coming pro challenge race in this coming june in singapore that sure will be fun |

i was talking to this toy shop owner today bout tamiya..he told me the reason tamiya died because some internet bloggers/ racers sent a complaint letter to Tamiya Japan saying that Daisheng was overcharging us for the product and eventually they took back the license to sell from Daisheng.. This guy's from Pandan Kapital in Pandan Indah where i used to go play..
When you said Tamiya was making a comeback...who's handling this matter? Daisheng? Stargek? Is the track in Mines Wonderland still there? |

Of coz i am..very interested..that's why i bought the emperor, only time is not exactly permitting me to do so ..i will dropby soon...my aim right now is to bring back these cars to malaysia scene by blogging... even that simon guy hopes that we can maybe send a request/letter to japan to give the distribution back to daisheng or something..

it's very obvious that i want tamiya to be relive...come on man..tamiya is awesome...after tamiya..everyone in malaysia started focusing more on video games..
i dont get the part you said "china shop"?? oh wait do you mean Daisheng making it look like a china shop? so what do you think is going to happen bout the distribution? This post has been edited by Legendary.High5s: Apr 19 2009, 02:03 AM |

QUOTE(david tamiya @ Apr 19 2009, 02:22 PM) thanx man David , any new parts arrived yet? i need 1 set ball bearings for wheels, the brown wheels you recommended to me for my emperor, pole stabilizers with screws, and ball bearing rollers for the front..how much total? need to make sure i have enough cash when i come this sunday.well 1 of the problem is that guys interested with mini4wd is really spread all around malaysia so to unite them will not be easy (hard to find hardcore racers who will go everywhere to race) if u are good with blog u can just start it maybe with the title mini4wd in malaysia i think pics u can get easily so if u need info u can just pm me i will be glad to help as for promtion i really get a lot of enquiry about mini4wd cars from time to time so with the blog done i can just add the link to our tamiya malaysia website then maybe we can grow form there |
