r/mini4wd

There was no plan to assemble this. It started during my son's school holidays, and I accompanied him to the Tamiya mini 4wd playground. I don't know why I went too far and assembled the side damper class. Maybe the last time I assembled a mini 4wd was 30 years ago 😮 Don't ask how old I am now 😭

Excited to work on a BMax build! I have doubles of everything. Going to build out one of my Philippine Cup Kits. I have another box of goodies inbound from family in the Philippines!

You can follow the progress on my facebook page Heartland Mini 4WD Racing.

Did I get something good? I picked this one because it was on sale and looked cool. Can’t wait to start customizing with builds

It's a set of screws that I left unattended because it was too troublesome to open. I omitted spacers and other things, but what should I do with so many screws?🤣🤣🤣🤣

An image has been circulating in social media of a potential sneak peak of a strato vector brickyard limited (from the silhouette of the blurred letters) is it gonna be a new one after 10 years since the release of the Lil's hobby edition or a edited version

I'm new to this BMAX, and actually this is my first build of carbon Super FM chassis. It is always on the interchange (3 lane changer) always thrown out of the track? Any ideas? I use 5 degree roller angle plate stacked, one rubber double roller on the right, no brake sponge, hyper dash with black and brown (4:1). Or maybe the FRP side stay can cause the thrown effect? Also planning to change the rear tire to super hard since it's all low friction. Any thoughts?

My LHS held a flash sale (20% off parts) so I took the opportunity to stock up on a bundle (of 10 packs) of AO Steel Locknuts and some HG Carbon AR Side Stays (new design).
But if your LHS held a sale like that, What Would You Stock Up On?

Maybe I ordered a bit too much

A load of parts and tools where also part of the order but it would be way to much to include in the picture

Its a lot harder tuning builds than I thought. Calibrating dampers, brake pads, and just heard from other racers apparently, tuning BATTERIES. I got bamboozled on my first race. But was really satisfying to see some of my builds complete the track and actually be fast enough to compete against regular racers.

I finished the last 3 cars in my back log. 2025 Christmas special, 2024 year of the dragon and finally 2026 year of the horse. Now for the final spot left on the wall but I have no clue what to build, part of me wants to start an open class build so I'd essentially have one of each class done. Thoughts?

This is my first tamiya m4wd model and I added some extra dampers and frp plate to add some to the dampers to the side because almost every car I see seems to have them. For people who have experience, is there anything else I can do to improve my machine? (Planning to enter competitions if ever)
