mini 4wd, race cars! vrooom! Options

[*kryogenix*]

anyone else have a mini 4wd car? They are small cars that you build yourself, and you can customize the parts to make them go faster. I have two, but I can't find a race track! anyone know where to buy them? (i saw them on ebay, and they're expensive!)



if you don't want to contribute to the discussion, don't post.

I love playing mini 4wd when i was small
but when i grew up, i found that they are childish and threw them away
I never buy myself a race track, coz it's too expensive
so I usually go to toy shops to play coz they provide free tracks for kids to play....

heh, i'm doing it now, out of cardboard :)

you have auldey brand right? or do you use academy brand? cause academy is the korean brand, auldey is the chinese brand and tamiya is the japanese brand. i saw on google, and the auldey brand is sooo much cheaper!

[capsule]

oh! the janitor @ my church has one of those...

instead of buying your own, like lcsblogfool mentioned, you can go to places where they hold tracks. "Hobbytown USA" centers have indoor tracks, some of em even hold cash prize tournies.

I think the Mini 4WD cars are only popular in like... China & Japan... I haven't seen any kids playing with them in US... In US, kids play with real cars o.o ... although, the Mini 4WD cars are really cool! Mine was so buff, but then my engine died and I didnt want to spend another $40 on an engine, so I gave up and started to work on my real car. HAR HAR o.o

$40 for an engine? no way! The engine I bought was $6 and i think it goes at around 4800 rpm. But the best engine I have was from my uncle, which is 6800 rpm hehehehe.

[*kryogenix*]

bump, because what i have to say is more important than what you have to say :p :)

[Luster Soldier]

I was crazy about 4wds when I was little. Adding little wheels here and there, customizing it, was pretty fun

I think all I have now is my phantom blade. It's awesome though.

eh..No
I hate Auldey, they copy the ideas from the others
and they just change something to make it into theirs
like Mini 4wd and yo-yo.....and many
I used Tamiya......

Well actually if you think that Tamiya's engine are slow
why not try to remake them? My friend told me that he tried once to open the enigne and remake those coil inside, and it made his car very fast
but I wasn't brave enough to try.....I afraid I would have an electric shock....lol

yes.....for once
I think now kids in HK think that those are old-fashion

hehe, yeah, Auldey makes bootleg copies of Tamiya's products. I have a Tamiya car and one Auldey car.

Yeah, the fastest Tamiya engine is 4800 rpm, and the Academy engine that my uncle gave me is 6000+. But if your engine is too fast, it will fly off the track.

Actually, mini 4wd were around since the 1980's , so yeah, it probably is old news. But still, I think they are pretty cool.

I'm going to take pictures of my cars!

[nyctophiliac]

nope sorry, i haven't even heard of them

[*kryogenix*]

ARRRGH! I lost the auction for a race track! Where can I get one? Anyone want to hook me up with one if you're currently in Asia :)?

[jaeman]

I have like four of those!
I too am looking for a track, but there is a little auditorium here that you can use the track they have.
But I don't think you'd come all the way to Japan just to use that track.

[angel-roh]

heh since im not into cars, i dont have them =]

[SuPerSoPow1025]

me and all my brothers use to collect those, we won the compitition at this place, like who has the fastest and everything^^ we still have them but dont play with them

They don't have things like that in NY. In the Philippines, they did. I found a place to get a track online, but they are soooooooo expensive! I must save up money now

  heh since im not into cars, i dont have them =]

read my first post.

[lookitskim]

I had a civic hatchback to match my car..(painted Si blue) haha but my stupid lil brother broke it.. >_<


Upgrading.. cost alot of mula.. i bought an exhaust that cost $100.00 something...

How much did u get your RC car for?

[faithin_felix]

I had one but it was broken. Man, these cars are getting old, i've heard of them when i was in elementary school. but i guess its a hobby, so it's all good, i guess...

uh, these aren't RC. they're 1/32 scale mini 4wd cars, powered by battery and guided by little rollers, not by rc. the stock kit cost me $3, motor was $5, and little modification parts brought the cost up to almost $20.



The cheapest track I found online is $70, but I heard there are some cheaper ones in stores in the Philippines :( . I wish I could have picked one up while I was there, but then we wouldn't have been able to bring it with us on the plane.

[MasterNe0]

Yea. I heard of them but I don't have one so no clue where to get a racetrack.
