right nw for the current event,i think most of the pple are using 3.5:1..there are some uses the blue ones..as for the 07 pro tour winner he uses the 3.5:1 as well..

This coming 1-11-2008 (Sat) have race in Smart Plat at Blk 154 Bukit Batok Street 11 from 2.30pm to 6.30pm.
cool! what motor did the most ppl use? is it also a must to use bearings on gears and wheels?

take a visit last wkend at smart play friendly staff and saw the poster a tourney is coming soon but its not an exclusive tamiya so ull be using a non-tamiya setup?

Wow... i will try to make it this time.. :o


bernier: post some pictures on your setups when you complete with all your hop-ups! :D
haha! we bought the same model

Hi to all, very nice and cool to see this forum topic when I searched using google. I am too a hardcore mini 4wd racer when I was young? Wanted to join the grand prix this year, yet had no time due to work:s13:

Few years back in singapore, there was so many shop having a track to play on? Competitions everywhere, had to rush from place to place hoping to challenge different tracks? Even chassis/motor had been changed since these few years? New rules too.. Perhaps racers from s'pore who are reading this, actually met during a race yet don't know each other only.. :yawn:

Welcome Vanquish! me too is a old school racer.... :o

Yup.. technology had advance alot.... new chassis, faster car, new technology that actually works!

As for new rules erm... i think only one car is in the track per race... not like the old times all three can put into one track. :o

got chance to watch pro tour 2008 final at kiddy palace toa payoh hub last Saturday.

IMG_0385.jpg


first look, track was high speed but there is an orange humps which became a technical track.
finalists is limited to use torque tuned motor pro and had a challenging test runs setting-up their cars before race start.

1st placer will represent Singapore for pro tour 2008 in japan!
hope next year event we can join:D

kudos to stargek and more pro tour event pls, hehe!
