    I LIKE that vid and the MUSIC – what is it? Hendrix?

    I notice that the car still gets into the occasional spin, though.

    Don’t you get a rear axle drift set with the Suspension part set and also the Tune Up car set?

    This is basically a solid plastic wheel that you don’t put tyres on, so it slides around more.

    Thats my understanding anyway. Anybody tried em?

    Thanks for the responses so far. JFI I’m not suggesting NOT using one of these babies – just wondering if changing from the stock bar would make a difference.

    Cheers

    ok, I’ve got a Tomy tool.

    Here’s the scene this morning. Brand new GTR Pennzoil Special Ed. Use the tool to remove the lip…..and……….snap!!!

    When I look at the other machine that this happened on recently it is, another GTR Special Ed.

    I guess that Tomy produced a bad batch or production standards have dropped or I’m just damn unlucky and its all a coindidence.

    I find tyres and gearing make a difference.

    Depends on what surface you run on, I guess. My track is MDF, so quite grippy as its not shinny.

    Personally, I favour soft tyres all round, cause I like a bit of back end drift.

    Gearing – I generally prefer the higher gearing (slower off the mark, but faster once it gets going). The advantage of this to me is that when I need to go slow, around chicanes and technical bit, I can do it, but once on the straights it goes like a rocket. Then the soft tyres kick in on the sweeping bends and it gets a bit sideways :D. I run 3.8 motors and this works for me.

    Suspension I haven’t experimented with, so can’t comment.

    Cheers – thats right, only the A works.

    I don’t fancy my chances at modding it, so I’ll just stick to the original controllers – just means I have to carry all four.

    Thanks, but am I missing something? Following the link, these just look like double ended bubble blowers –

    O–O

    How does one of these help you get anything off a car?

    I’ve never heard of a Tomy tool. What is it, how does it work and where can I get one?

    I tried superglue yesterday – yet to try it out.

    When I say it snapped, it would be more accurate to say it split. If you hold the front of the chassis in finger and thumb the clip looks like a letter “n”. It split down the middle, making it look like a letter “m”. It hasn’t snapped off or anything. It makes the motor not sit too well.

    Is this the same problem as yourselves?
