This was fascinating for me. I used to race these cars in the early 1990s. It looks like the tech and knowledge in this area has improved enormously since our early days racing them.
i remember back then my male cousin is really into tamiya... i think this will be good gift for boys to give car,robot,etc will be good gift for boys doll,doll houses,and something cute will be good gift for girl hopefully my little boys and my little girl will be like it!
Just curious, why do you need to clean the bearings and rollers? Are they dirty straight out of the package? And why do you need a longer shaft and pierce the wheels?
I am new to mini 4wd and I am considering what chasis to buy, I have three chasis in mind, ms, ar, and vz. I know currently most recommended would be ms, but I am also interested in vz, since it is an upgraded version of vs, and vs was considered to be the fastest chasis there. I am also interested in ar, since it is related to air dynamic, but i am not sure if it works or not, so do you have any suggestions?
If you're new to Mini 4WD. I don't recommend MS. Its an older chassis. Less bolt on mount right from the beginning. I would relegate your choices, to MA, AR, VZ, and FM-A.
Wow over 270dollars for a chassis like this? I remember I used to watch an Anime series dedicated to these mini 4wd Racing, incredible that they are still in production and they are more sophisticated than I remember when I was very young.
@@ripmax333 more than what I initially spent for my machines, but I don’t really count it anymore since I just want to have fun and compete with other racers
Hey bro, May I ask what is the point of installing the wheels facing on the other way? And is it okay to install it normally when it comes to BMAX or does it have any advantage when installing it facing the other way?
Can you do one with super II chassis? I’m new to this, and I have a super II chassis in hand, want to know what parts should to get for building. Thanks
In this setting carbon fibers are hitting in wave sections. Test yourself. Since you are using only the 19 mm roller holes, you should shift to shorter carbon fibers.
Imo should be ok but the screwheads will protrude out but you have slightly lower cg too. Only issue is if your car is too low it doesnt have enough clearance that you need to countersink it. Im not sure if countersink weakens the hole as the area around the screw becomes thinner.
Hi @Z3N Bluster just wanted to ask if the spring supported rear set up that you did on the video been proven effective on the track? If yes, i will also adapt this in my own rear frp set up..
Hi Jan! I tried using the 620 ball bearings for the wheel axles but it seems that they are too thick and is rubbing with the wheels when installed with 60mm shafts. Tried this both on MA and VZ and both are the same. Any thoughts?
@@Z3NBluster yes I did. You used HG bearings for the wheel shafts and 620s for the countergear. I also watched your MA build and as far as I can recall, you used 620s for the wheels.
I need to get that tool for the wheel, I think that is why my wheels are flying off after like 6 laps or so on my MS. I need to find a way to line up the shaft perfectly in the hex shape provision in the wheel. That would be the hardest part of the built for me. Apparently I have been doing the wheels wrong all my life.
I know this is an old video..but just asking if you’re still building for customers as to this date? I’m interested and located in New Jersey...not sure if you are located to here in the U.S.
Hello john, do you still interested to get a pro build? Im thinking abt retiring in mini 4wd world and want to sell some of my unused/rarely used cars,but mostly they are MS chasis with suspension with HG carbon and some FMA chasis. If you interested you can reply to this comment and i will upload a video of my cars and send you the link, cheers:)
It is. But I don't recommend it. The spring mounting point screws will cut through FRP and eventually break. The carbon plates holes will widen but will generally not break unless you get into very forceful crash.
Goodday sir where did you buy your item in the US or what is the site you order for your spare parts in tamiya because I’m here in Miami Florida where can I order a spare parts for tamiya here thank you and god bless
Holy sjit, I didn't even realize the wheels were spinning until 01:05 I must be really fucking high or that thing has incredible power! Then again...it is entirely possible that both scenarios could be true.
If you watch the video carefully you will see the link in the upper left corner of the video for dxnprovisions.com. if you type that into your browser you will get to the website. You can also click the links in the video description. But you are too late. This car has been sold.
It's better for balance. It moves the center of mass from the outside of the wheel hub closer to the center of the chassis. Cornering, balance, acceleration, and braking get better.
I am Arturo Cesar, I live in Mexico City. I just saw the video of the VZ chassis modification. I would like to know if there is a possibility that you can make me one like it and send it to me? and how much will it cost me?
Hey arturo, do you still want a pro build mini 4wd,im thinking abt retiring from this and probably want to sell some of my unused cars,but mostly they are MS flexible chasis with suspension and FMA chasis, if you interested you can reply this message and i will send you a link to a video of my cars, cheers:)
@@heheyeaaboii4358 Thank you very much for your reply. How sad to see that you are already leaving the hobbie and if you send me the link to see your designs and see if any of them interest me. Greetings from Mexico City
hi sir! just wanted to ask, what were the products that you were using to clean the 620 bearings? if you can provide the brands too, that'd be awesome. i'm new to the hobby and would like to know the basics in cleaning the bearings, rollers and motors. mad respect! thank you.
Starting this hobby requires 10k pesos for everything. But that's just 1 raceable unit. The tools are also very expensive. Why don't they make the tools cheaper for everyone to enjoy? Even if the parts are expensive, people will still buy it to race and have fun.
@@dangloc89 I allow it at our track because I'd rather not spend 5 minutes between heats looking for lost bearings and bearing spacers every time someone's wheel flies off. It's super easy to pierce a wheel with a cap screw.
At DXN Provisions. Yes. This rule was opened up so that customers don't keep losing tires, wheels, and bearings. And it also help by improving transmission.
Hey Jan! I hope you are well! Great video as usual. I just wanted to say, great build. I was wondering if you have ever consider offering your broken in tourqe tuned motors separately? I'd definitely buy a few! Feel free to message me if you'd rather talk there.
Just watch your video. It's poison dude! Many - many years i stop playing this mini 4wd. Now i wanna have one again🥺

This was fascinating for me. I used to race these cars in the early 1990s. It looks like the tech and knowledge in this area has improved enormously since our early days racing them.
A lot of it trickled in from the RC racing scene.
..a very long time race that i hav been left..now watching this..im starting to look back at my home store full of hidden Tamiya gems😆😆😆
i remember back then my male cousin is really into tamiya... i think this will be good gift for boys to give
car,robot,etc will be good gift for boys
doll,doll houses,and something cute will be good gift for girl
hopefully my little boys and my little girl will be like it!
this is no a tuned class build.. this is an art
Just curious, why do you need to clean the bearings and rollers? Are they dirty straight out of the package? And why do you need a longer shaft and pierce the wheels?
Is using spring on rear allowed on b-max class?
is this allowed in b-max category thanks
Wow clean build... Hopefully you do other type like this video
It's great fun building a VZ chassis like this because it doesn't cut the FRP which makes it difficult for novice builders who enter the STO class

@@BlackOilyMenKissing how much do you win?
@@ripmax333 more than what I initially spent for my machines, but I don’t really count it anymore since I just want to have fun and compete with other racers
is it legal to use spring on the rear bumper to make some gimmicks for tuned class race?

Hey bro, May I ask what is the point of installing the wheels facing on the other way? And is it okay to install it normally when it comes to BMAX or does it have any advantage when installing it facing the other way?

@Z3N Bluster Hi, just wondering if this rear bumper setup with the springs is allowed in bmax. Can't seem to find rules for it.
Nah its not allowed, also this build is slow. Don't copy his builds.
@@SenselessTalk didnt even raced him yet, wdym?? Bet u can't even build one that can beat him
Is it okay if i don't counter sink the bumpers? I don't have the tool to do so 😥
Imo should be ok but the screwheads will protrude out but you have slightly lower cg too.
Only issue is if your car is too low it doesnt have enough clearance that you need to countersink it. Im not sure if countersink weakens the hole as the area around the screw becomes thinner.
Which chassis is better? For open class?
Hi @Z3N Bluster just wanted to ask if the spring supported rear set up that you did on the video been proven effective on the track? If yes, i will also adapt this in my own rear frp set up..
Your link to your shop doesn’t work
This is so helpful 👊 what do you call the tool that youre using to hold the bearing?
How can I get in touch if I want to buy a ready to race kit?
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome build. Learnt so much ;)
THIS ALLOWED FOR BMAX?
Is it possible to get one built by you ?
Hi Jan! I tried using the 620 ball bearings for the wheel axles but it seems that they are too thick and is rubbing with the wheels when installed with 60mm shafts. Tried this both on MA and VZ and both are the same. Any thoughts?
Did you watch the build video thoroughly? Watch the section where I post the parts list. You'll see the difference between your build and mine.
@@Z3NBluster yes I did. You used HG bearings for the wheel shafts and 620s for the countergear. I also watched your MA build and as far as I can recall, you used 620s for the wheels.
@@stephenpascua9792 use 72mm
Are the wheels balanced?
What size contersink are you using? Im not sure if 4.5mm will do the job?

Thanks man!😊
What is the difference of bmax and tuned??? Seems nothing
is the VS Chasis Steering System compatible to VZ Chasis?
What is the advantage of piercing the wheel?

Can this kit be placed in a super fm-a brocken?
can you make a tutorial how to break in motors

Awesome...👍👍👍
Hey uh. Just wondering. Is it possible to replace the rear roller stay with FRP one?
It is. But I don't recommend it. The spring mounting point screws will cut through FRP and eventually break. The carbon plates holes will widen but will generally not break unless you get into very forceful crash.
@@Z3NBluster thanks. I’m trying to figure out my VZ setting since Indo organizers don’t allow HG stays on their tuned class.

Secret Sauce ;)
Hey boss can you build another one like this for sale?? Thank you hope ASAP
Do you sell customized Tuned mini 4wd ?
Awesome vids I have learnt alot from your vids. Do u prefer oil or grease in the transmission and if it's oil what oil do u recommend
Try use gear oil for scooter motorcycle verry smooth
Is this build setup still available for sale? Coz I can't seem to find it in your dxn link..

YES
Can you please build more bro? And have some sample run after building thank you bro
Its for sale so I don't wanna risk damaging the car before shipping it out.
is this, still available until now?, i really thought it was faced out since 2004.

How do I contact you in regards to buying one of these off you
You'll have to wait for the next build video. I don't take commissions.
