For that jumping section we used to add additional support bearing at back & front of the car so its like the car running on 6 tires

Ok sounds legit...due to shyness I bought a fat bike actually rather than BMX but after hearing ur thoughts feels like want to get a BMX pulak now :hmmmm:

Din't see anyone play with those style anymore using support bearing. Now what they do is, they equip a plate below the rear bumper which had a ground clearance of around 1mm. They call it brake because when the car goes over a sloped or uphill section before jump, the 'brake' plate will scrape on the track and supposedly create friction to slow down the car, hence shorter jumping distance.

Other than brakes, they have something called mass damper which is a type of weight item that has a sort of free flow movement in between a long screw. I'm not sure how to explain this but maybe you can try searching for it through google. These mass damper thing will absorb or damp the impact when your car lands after jumping. It is like some sort of counter weight item. I'll put a pic of it here.... The two gold bullet shaped thing in front is the mass damper on my other car. But I don't really know how to fully utilize it so I took them off after a few failed landing attempts.

Do you measure the pot speed of your car?
I saw Tamiya has their own ""speed" dyno for car enthusiasts, to clock the running speed. Very sophisticated, I say...

From what I saw its gotten to a point where the car chassis is more expensive than the motor now. I'll pass.

Motor is quite cheap now. Averaging at RM20 a piece. Chassis also I think is almost that kind of price...

Snooker is also one of my hobbies, but problem is, there is hardly any or none at all that is for non smokers. Is like I have to enjoy my hobby at the expense of shortening my life and risking myself in getting lung cancer.

Which is why I seldom join my friends who goes for snooker, is fine for them as they are smokers but it was never nice for me. Getting use to the smell aint a problem. But inhaling them is a problem. Been doing for quite few years and I hardly go to snooker center maybe more than twice a year or less now.

Totally should split 2 sections like smoking and non smoking like in restaurants.

Even have my own cue stick that was bought by my gf as a gift to me previously.

Renesis? U are born b4 DASH YONKURO on air in 1997?

Speedy video was like making a craze about it n asking we kids to buy their videos plus tamiya had quite a large revenue on their products and open a few tamiya shops (most noticable was the 9shop by Litt Tat, now toycity).. speaking of Litt Tat, they brought in Bandai, Power Rangers, Ultraman n.... D1GP models !! Yes D1GP models !!
*Litt Tat base is at Petaling Street

but the tamiya magazine said exact one used in the yonkuro series do have real life suspensions n stuff... with hockey sticks

later in 2002 was Lets n Go... one of my fav laughable animes.

Later china brand copied and made quite a lot of the fake tamiya plus some unknown models.

btw i still have the china tamiya track plus with starter n stopper..

i need parts, then i can race.. i still have my monster engine

I did a mistake, it is not Litt Tak but Daisheng but Litt Tat is nearby Daisheng. Litt Tat brought in Bandai

Daisheng was the one brought in Ultraman, Tamiya, D1GP n many more... they are the ones who made ToyCity.

Ya I was surprise too. Bought it at times square. Cuz she was asking me what I want for my birthday as present. Then was going up the escalator, and coincidentally saw that shop. I say lets have a look at the snooker shop. (with no intentions asking her to buy, just want to see for my own pleasure)

Then she said "you choose la which u like. I pay." I was like... :stoned:

back to topic,

I used to buy those cards, u know?

Donkey, Car, Planes, Old Maid and all those cards.
*Bought at the greatest toy shop those days "Kathy's Toys" Does anyone remember this toy store?

Sometimes used them as Black Jack cash (we were kids, so the car cards was like our pink slip)

Speaking on those black jack cards, i now do learn some magic card tricks.

I recently collected a few Bicycle cards and do my tricks since Bicycle cards are much better in doing magic

Where you find such a cheap chassis? Cheapest I saw was about 59.90 or 39.90 leh.

 

[SloMo]

still doing my plastic miniature jetplanes albeit lesser now. averaging 1 per year :D

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Another expensive hobby is surely collecting diecast.

One of my favourite so far is this model. It has the exact unique paint of the actual car.
