hihi, thanks, i'm interested to make a good car. what is good to start on?

pls teach

Hi to those into Tamiya Mini 4WD,

I am a hobbyist but does not own a shop or anything.
Just hope to share my Mini 4WD knowledge with those
into this hobby.

As there's really a lot to know about it.
Oh ya, I could only share or advice based on original
tuning which means using only original parts.

Not really need to mod like cutting parts
and mixing around to make your car faster or following
modders.

Actually Mini 4WD is quite easy to play expect local showroom at Stargek is very tricky to master.
FYI I played Mini 4WD back in 1994 yes that old, only resume few years back only.
My knowledge is quite vast so older chassis like Super FM and etc. I know how to tune it properly.
Newer chassis I am still testing it despite 80% of testing is done.

I hope you guys you can support me, not to mention I have setup my own Youtube Channel.
Gosh since I am new, cannot post direct link to my channel but
at Youtube just search for Mxhobbies should be able to find it.

So much to talk about seriously, I know not all know how to make their cars faster so I am here to help so can visit my Youtube channel for tips and tricks.
FYI so much topic and things to talk about Mini 4WD just find it hard to squeeze within 10 minutes per clip.

And of cuz if the clip is too long you may feel bored.
Anyway those into this hobby, I be here to help hopefully can transfer my knowledge to you guys.

Just hope one day could create a Original Mini 4WD Tuner club in the sense playing with casing and original parts.
Cuz not many race with case cuz they find it slow with it on
or original parts cuz not many know how to use them.

Modders reminds me of the days of Auldey in the early days of 1994. There is the Tamiya group which uses original parts while Auldey group are using 3rd party parts and they just swoop around the track very easily.

Which some in today context some are still following the footstep. Nothing wrong but speed is not everything.
Hope I could help you guys enjoy this hobby the easy way.

Videos are still being planned and made at my own work-space.
Sorry for the quality issues until I revamp my workspace especially the camcorder.

Anything can feel free to ask me expect Stargek track.
That one is difficult to advice but I can still try.
Shall we keep this hobby alive and also to have fun.

Anything let's discuss or can PM/email me if you have any request or question like say you have issue with your car.

I am bored seriously with no decent track and of cuz no group of people using casing to play with. Just want to play Mini 4WD the right way not like the modders as they emphasis on speed than fun.

Sorry for the long post that I could actually start a Mini 4WD school. LOL!
Cheers and Happy new year to all.

hihi, thanks, i'm interested to make a good car. what is good to start on?

pls teach

YouTube search Mad Tang. Or roscoe

They make good tutorials.
U can start with a car kit.. Buy 1 and understand it first.

There are many Chassis available.. I would recommend starting With MA Chassis, I think it's the newest and easiest to mod.

Anything can text me at 83334600.
Im starting with it too

 

[rampage_111]

still got people play meh?

 

[tanknsteven]

hi

yes. me.

[mxhobbies]

still got people play meh?

Yes, me I also done a couple of tutorial videos
My playstyle is just plug and play, not really need to mod.
Still thinking to setup my own Plug and play Mini 4WD community club.

Hihi

Count you in first, anyone else interested?
Do let me know cuz my plan is push it as one of community activity.
But I need to know are there many people interested in such hobby or not.

Will have a mini workshop on how to:
- Build Mini 4Wd
- Paint it/Deco it (Since no one do this)
- Basic tuning level (Pro chassis and non pro chassis are separate)
- Intermediate tuning (Pro chassis and non pro chassis are separate)

It will be only plug and play I won't teach how most racers mod their car.
The only trouble is financing the track cuz the track not cheap.
That is one thing that is halting such plan, that is why I need to know
is there a lot of you interested or not.

I also have plans to do custom track design using 3D printing but that
I need to check with Tamiya also.

Meantime you can check out my YouTube channel at my signature area.
Currently talking about parts, later time I will do tuning guide as well.

Hope that helps, if you need any specific tutorial or need help with your car.
Feel free to ask or request.

I hope Mini 4WD could be fun and easy to play one day.
Cheers.

It is not that popular unlike in the early days.
Now only either Hobby Point (Safra Jurong), Bras Basah
but they carry very limited kits and parts.

Stargek will still be the best place since all the parts and
kits are there. There are also online retailer like Max hobbies (Not
owned by me since the name is rather same as this account.)

If you want better prices, I still say buy from Japan retailer like
1999 hobby/rcecho (HK).
Their kits and parts will be much cheaper but shipping isn't cheap.

 

[Trueblue82]

just went to ur recommended max hobbies..wow now still got Avante series...

now got $$ to spend on track but boh fren to play with... lol

For the time being, actually Safra Jurong got track
to play also.
However the staff that used to setup the track no longer
there.

Now different staff, maybe still can ask the person to bring it out.
There got space, those interested maybe can gather there to play together.

My hobby group still planning stage, now just see is there really a big group for this hobby or not.
Cheers.

Now that the Jun holidays is here, anyone knows if there are any leisure Mini4WD tracks for kids to have fun?

So far the tracks that I know of are:
1. Stargek - Paya Lebar (race on 11 Jun)
2. S.K.D.C - Tebing Lane

I'm looking for an indoor track with simple amenities such as washroom and drinks.
