virus_r 03-28-2012 08:55 AM

Wer did u buy your Tamiya? It's hard to find sellers or hobby shop in here
That sells the kit???

Go Go Hobbies has a few, but can order in all the stuff you need. I called the owner on another issue this morning and that's what he told me. Special order parts take about a week to come in, sometimes less.

They are in Coquitlam.

Go Go Hobbies & Toys

Cam's the owner. He's an Asian guy who's family used to own a small grocery store in East Van.... not sure what that has to do with it, but he's a cool guy nonetheless.

Kidnapman 05-10-2012 03:43 PM

Any local place we can buy these for decent price? Or we gotta Ebay?

virus_r 05-10-2012 05:12 PM

Contact echicken , they held races every Saturday.
Or if not. eBay the best bet!

belaud 05-10-2012 06:57 PM

I remember I had a black motor, it was the fastest on the market you can buy, and I had "eraser" slicks, shit was unreal.

Black motors burn out in like hours though :okay:

virus_r 05-16-2012 11:59 AM

Is that the plasma motor?

tofu1413 05-16-2012 12:06 PM

black on red cap- probably the hyper dash motor.

lol

i remember silver on grey was the plasma dash

echicken 05-22-2012 12:22 AM

if it is a Tamiya one, it is hyper dash motor. And it is discontinued.

ae101 05-24-2012 06:32 AM

question is front engine car faster or rear engine car faster

toyota86 05-24-2012 04:33 PM

i spoke with the owner of burnaby hobbies. apparently he can bring these in if you can provide a tamiya part number. i picked some of there old stock for around 15 per car.

usually car with rear motor chassis is better on straight road and acceleration, while the front motor car has a better performance on curves and jumps
