One thing I always think about back then when watching, how do the cars turn when theres no lane dividers on the track?

i vaguely remember that in some of the races there were no tracks at all and they use something like a hockey stick to guide the cars... correct me if i am wrong ... man this is bringing back childhood memories...does anyone know the name of the cartoon.. i'm trying to find it on youtube or torrent just one or two episodes .

what? mid engine?? it is so modern now.

I used to have Magnum Saber, Cyclone Magnum TRF, Beak Spyder, few Super Astutes and Yankuro's Tamiya as well.

Among all of them, I only modified my Super Astute (sort of project Tamiya). Tried Hyper Dash, Mach Dash, Hyper Ultra Dash , Plasma and so called Chu Kin (chinese brand but runs very fast).

Still got most of mine, and i think most of them still run, just needs a respray. That was definately the start of why I like to take things apart, went from that to gundams to airsoft and now to cars. I just discovered that as you get older, the toys get more and more expensive. Now that I am so into LS1s I think i might try to make a mini version to cram into one of them.

Lancerion 06-16-2010 02:11 AM

ae101 06-16-2010 11:43 PM

damn i just realize that some ppl still keep their parts nice & clean (most of my parts don't work no more)

& do u guys remember in asia where u go to the department store or toy'r'us & theres always a free track,& u just bring your tool box there with your cars to race other kids

BMW135i 06-16-2010 11:52 PM

Well i always played at JUSCO back then. They had a custom built a 3 lanes Junior track and everyone start playing there. Or those hobby stores at kowloon.

ae101 06-17-2010 12:39 AM

OMG i totally forgot about the hobby stores & those ppl on the street selling toys would try & sell u a super fake one where u just put the AA bats & it just runs

I think my mom threw mine out while cleaning out the garage. Had good times sending them off ramps.

VK79 06-17-2010 01:39 PM

Those damn things, Skipped lunch for 5 days to buy a set of metallic ball bearings then another 3-4 days to buy the super "stabilizer" poles + weights. I was so happy when my Avanti won like a $50 prize in a race when I easily dumped over $100 in mods on it.

Remember the sticker on the spoiler said: Being Nuts Is NEAT

.Renn.Sport 06-17-2010 07:35 PM

i just threw out a Tamiya 3 lane track while cleaning out our warehouse..... I wanted to ship it back to canada so bad

TRD Rs200 06-17-2010 08:27 PM

yoall 06-17-2010 09:23 PM

BMW135i 06-17-2010 09:59 PM

When and where ?:D

ae101 06-18-2010 07:28 AM

i saw this chinese movie where leon lai was in it & one of the coolest thinks was when leon lai's partner sent his mini 4wds off a ramp flying & he would press the button & the car would exploded

BMW135i 06-18-2010 08:16 AM

I'd remember seeing a movie like that, at the end they all sent out mini 4WD to catch those thieves. Pretty stupid but fun to watch back then . :D

rageguy 06-18-2010 10:32 AM

Nice! I still have my two lane track and 12+ cars and motors still in top shape!
