hoho, that kinda prob happent o me too when i jus started playing, but i started at age of 15. also used to envy ppl's car running that fast, but after i manage to get the stuffs and money for it, i can do the samething, now the kids are envying me

something extra, u can hav various way of ppl envying u, speed is one thing, ur cover design is another thing, like use the RC mini 4wd cars and run(coz kids never see before) or use those jap edition cars to run like me, of coz if u are willing to let ur money fly

Dude, you are misleading a young 13 years old racer by saying all that?? Plus this hobby is all about fun, not showing off your manifest and its good to be humble sometimes.. Have you heard of 财不可露眼?? For us, its 车不可露眼, unless you wan your things to get stolen by telling people what you have and everything you bring out and use.. ;)

Sprint dash, ultra dash, plasma dash are all set in carbon brush.. Rev-tuned are copper brush in it.. Seasoning a motor take awhile, which cant be done overnight like magic.. Follow those instructions you have read, it will make you motor last longer too.. Cars running fast is not based on just the motor itself, but on the car setting as well.. In that same forum I had told you, there are some pictures of cars posted by other racers.. You might wanna take a look at them, or seek advice from the shop owners which you hang out at.. :o

Note that not expensive or best parts/things/motor will make your car go fast, but the effort to learn since you are into this hobby? :s13:

@masumane: Fellow racers know you are proud of what you have and own.. Its wise to keep a low profile on what you have got to prevent things got theft am I right? :yawn:

You can get good lubrication oil from hardware shops such as homefix.. Or you can use this cleaner spray that is available from stargek, works the same principals too.. The main aim is to "prepare" the motor, so that it can last longer on the long run.. Try not to buy those oil stated with "heavy duty", as they normally strong smelling and messy when used..

Yupz, kean is totally right about not using heavy oil such as WD40.. Chemicals in it breaks down metal so as to remove rust.. If we use that on our motors, its will damage it as well as such oil are strictly not allow in official races..
