hmm...seems like no one wants to post...mayb i shld start

Smooth/Dusty track...like at multi storey car park(not the roof), hong kah cc
- Stock front/ soft rear(not the carpet one)
- GPM threaded tires (20 deg)...so far using gear diffs works...when u use ball diffs...u will find it a bit difficult to set the rear diff...GOOD tires if u r using stock motor...looks like rally and handles like one

Rough track(rough cemented floor)
- Stock front/Stock rear
- Foams (shld work like the 1/10...but i tink the wear rate will b fast)

to fuse01...nice talkin to u yesterday...get gd tires and we c how ur little monster perform at the track...

hopefully more pple will join in the fun...

btw fuse01...u hav a very nice car...make sure it handles...for tires mayb u wanna try both stock/stock and adjust from there...

for the track layout...well its up to us...as there was a beginner, the track layout was simple and flowing...the track hav a power point for u guys to tap...make sure u bring some multi plug adapter and extension cords...

btw i'm NOT frm zxxm...i join them as i hav a micro and richard is my fren...and i stay nearby

Hi Guys, nice to see this thread up. I own a micro in stock condition with 6 cell pack. Shiok! I will change to Ratzas pro + GH front ball and VCS shock. Fuse, last time how much u pay for yr Ratzas parts. HZ boss offering me the same price as on net. Thats means I save the shipping cost. Can buy?

welcome ace to tis frenly thread...

fuse01 forgot to check wif u...how much did u pay for ur chassis??
improve in handling/performance??

as u notice my car was pretty much stock...same goes wif my other cars(touring, f1)...only when perfomance is gain from hopping up then i might consider purchasing it...

A MUST to hop up is the knuckle...especially when u play at hong kah...the plastic knuckle will not hold up if u hit the track

Woah, nice thread! Hey, as ya all are talking about the Races at ZxxM, can I know when is the next race gonna be held, venue and rules of the race? Can we like reverse our cars after a crash? As I was told that reversing your car in a 1:10 electric race is an offence...

Okay, I've found a sponsor, HZM!!! Whahahaha! Ohh, It isn't easy to get the right place.. expecially you want it to be indoor man... firstly, the rent, the condition and the location.. And what about the maintanence? It's gonna be high too ya know.. Unless, we can come out with our own funds.. for Eg: sharing the costs... Or something like that... LOL! (then my allowance will be gone~)
