Godhand Kamiyasu - Sanding Sponge Set
Is the youtuber you mentioned The Rookie? Can’t find him 😂
Im a baby racer and learning a lot from you 🤩 The bubble wrap is a great idea 😍 May i just know where you purchased that separate compartment, the single clear box where you stored the car? Been looking for that but im kinda lost. Hope its available in Amazon tho 😅
I got the box with the car I bought from someone. I believe he uses this box: www.aliexpress.com/i/3256803164648219.html or something similar
got one to a happy 22k but then most of the time even that will make our box stock cars fly. the hard part is keeping your car on the track with those speeds.
Hi! I just bought my first tamiya and saw this video on making the motor faster! I have a question, can you care to explain what is the science behind this? Or is there any videos/article explanations on why this works? Because I saw some people turn the motor forward, then backwards even with different voltages etc, seems very arbitrary or is there really science behind it 🤔? Thank you! Love your Tamiya contents!
One of the reasons why I kinda don't plan on racing Box Stock is because as you mentioned on one of your videos, the attachment points for the rollers will enlarge over time and if the Box Stock Kit that I'm using has like one of those limited or one of kind colored chassis, then I'm kinda screwed cause they're either expensive than the kit itself, or is no longer in production. At least for Tuned or BMAX, it's not a problem because the rollers are attached to plates especially Carbon ones.
So where do you race and where do you find the rules so I know what’s legal
Every racing event has their own rules, but if you Google "Mini4WD BMAX rules" you should find a few examples.
Mach frame fighting korea is very expensive here in the philippines. It costs 3500 pesos
Yes, it costs a lot here, too. Very rare and sometimes $100 USD.
@@claredinother seller....sell the limited edition for $150
Here's the question... What bootleg version is this?. The problematic DABAN vsrsion or the newer JMS version?. JMS doesn't lump every runners in a single plastic and runners should be separated neatly similar to bandai. There should be waterslide decals included too. The joints should be a little bit on the tighter side than loose. The DABAN version on the other hand is the opposite. Some parts are loose. No waterslide decal and all runners are lumped together in a single package. It's easy to tell if this has a box since DABAN copies the bandai box while the JMS box is a just plain shiny pink box with some Chinese text on the middle that also includes their JMS brand name.
boxstock is more expensive when using cars that is limited edition when the parts wear out , finding parts of it can be so difficult unlike for tuned class parts can be replaced at any color can also be mix and match
I still think its ok to get bootleg kits if theyre p-bandai. A skilled builder can easily fix most issues they come with
Pepsi
I would recommend getting the 1/60 Perfect Grade Unicorn Phenex with LED from bandai, a bit on the expensive side but damnnn that thing is incredibly sturdy and looks really good too! as for those china copies, the polycaps and ball joint in the waist is what makes it fall apart, a quick solution for that is shave the ball joint and add some material turning it to a straight peg giving it more surface area to grip
Thanks for the tip!
i am here because I am waiting for my return on my Remarkable Paper Pro, Folio and. Marker+ - they have had it over a week and still do not even acknowledge they have it. it's not a good process and somewhat shady IMO. Given I am a RM fan (love my RM2) it is tainting my opinion of the company.
If Remarkable hasn't improved their return process yet from 3+ years ago, they should really not be in business! It's strange... if you want a Remarkable, you receive it right away, but if you want to return it, it takes a million years. That's not good business.
@@claredin agree 100%
I have the pink fake Freedom (also the regular colour one). I gave the pink to my wife. Mine had a PC ball hole way too wide, and I filled with tissue. Worked like a charm. Both are fine honestly, and they're not bad for the price since the HG original is quite pricy for whatever reason. We also bought the Aerial original and fake to make a proper comparison. Both are extremely similar. Fake: vivid, shiny and slightly less articulated. Original: looks dull next to the fake but the details are more pronounced and fitting for flow ink. Nicer feeling plastic. Just skip Gaogao and go for JMS if you have to get a bootleg.
Thanks for the tip!
If you want kits that don’t “fall apart”, then I highly recommend buying kits that DO NOT use polycaps. Polycaps are the primary reason why Gundam kits fall apart and get loose over time. Plastic on plastic joint connections tend to be stronger over time and stiffer too. Best examples of kits with “plastic on plastic” connections are the Witch from Mercury kits, modern RG kits (released from the RG Unicorn and after), Modern MG kits (kits that use inner frames post the MG Freedom 2.0), among others. Old kits, especially new kits that re-use older kits as a base, like the Build fighter kits, tend to have poly caps in them.
But can they be modified to use non-policap parts? Also, unless they use Rising Freedom / Mighty Strike Freedom, c-clips are odd Lastly, Seed Action System - HGCE > HGWFM
@@koweedate You could 3D Print polycaps, but then you'd have to find a good blend of plastic to work with - plastic that can withstand being plugged (snuggly) into where polycaps usually go, and the kind of plastic blend that can withstand joint movement. But I don't recommend this because of the tremendous amount of effort you'd have to put in, for what could arguably be very little reward. In the past, I've covered polycaps with a varying thickness of super glue to reinforce them (depending on how much reinforcing they need), and this works well enough for most cases. But having polycaps is a sign a kit is dated and so it will probably have other issues like wrong proportions (like the FM 1/100 IBO line), color inaccuracies (old HG's), or poor engineering (like the RG Sinanju). So I personally avoid these old kits like the plague due to the reasons I listed above. And respectfully, HGWFM > HGCE. The seed action system really means nothing to me - modern kits all have really good articulation and proportion as base features. What kills the modern HGCE line for me are the severe color inaccuracies (no color accurate plastic parts for eyes and vulcans for example), while being pricier than the HGWFM line itself. I was skeptical of the C-clips in the HGWFM line too until I noticed that C-clip joints aren't weaker or stronger than other types of joints.
@@Shay_D_Mann the difference is that how the Rising Freedom and Mighty Strike Freedom address the c-clip issues is how the were assembled. The Pharact is one of the kits known as a c-clip hell for some reason. Also why HGWFM is better, since that line also has issues?
@@koweedate I personally have the Pharact and it’s holding up rather well. Not a single loose joint. Same with the other kits in the line. I really don’t know what this “issue” with c-clips are. The HGWFM kits are mostly color accurate and they all hold up rather well. Even the least color accurate of the bunch, the Michealis series and the Beguir series kits only really need a touch of Gundam marker grey to paint. HGWFM kits have their Gundam eyes and Vulcans done in plastic which looks rather amazing, something the HGCE kits, for some strange reason, decided to skip on. It’s a cardinal sin, really. The HGCE kits would be perfect if they had incorporated plastic parts for their eyes and vulcans.
@@Shay_D_Mann how, since on my end, it tend to have stress marks?
You should also buy the expansion for the wing zero honoo. You may need to buy 2 sets. Not sure if they are still available because thay come with hobby japan magazine.
first time seeing your channel looking forward for more gundam content in future :)
If you love the sturdiness, I recommend you to try modern RG (Nu gundam and those that were released after it, you can see from the side of the box it should have number >= 32)too RG is 1/144 gundam line where you also have to build the inner frame. It's harder to build than HG, but those kits hold also they don't use polycap HG or any kit that use polycap (the runner that said "PC" and they feel rubbery) after sometimes they will start loosing But well, if I have to recommend any HG, it's would be moon gundam, it's simple build and it's the kit where bandai try to step away from polycap and use the connections kinda like RG, and that thing articulation is go beyond the moon
Thanks for the recommendation!
Ok dam
Hi I'm watching from the Philippines nice break in
Tried it and its effective
Hi Claire what app are you using for RPM determination?
tuned class in Cali still boggles me. they look like borderline open class cars. basically uncut open cars lol
Classes are malleable depending on the event and the organizer. Even in the same location, different event organizers can have different rules for their events. I think we're starting to see what happens when you have lots more racers entering our hobby and influencing the way event organizers conduct their events.
congratulation claire hurricane sonic also is my champion car
That carbon festa jaune is an awesome kit. Pretty neat for an open class too.
New kit + New parts = Happiness
Hi! A lot of Amazing parts 🥰
🎉🎉❤ happy for you ❤
That orange special looks great, got one for my collection

Thank you for this
I'm gunna be at hobbytown Saturday it just stinks I can't do the water break in because I don't have a mini motor break in machine and can't get one in time lol
Hi. Can you please tell me your top 5 boxstock kits?
Mach Frame, Super Avante Black Special, Gunbluster XTO Light Blue Special, Toyota Gazoo TS050, Hurricane Sonic
True
Wow
are spring movements allowed?
Hello my andrew turbanos lm from Philippines also racer boxstock A USE MS CHASSIS AVANTE mk III red special always out also broken rollers l ask in my organization hobby house in he say ms chassis is not for boxstock they using bmax speed 😢
We have racers here who have successfully raced the Exflowly poly body MS chassis. I personally prefer FM-A and MA for 3 lane tracks but occasionally I see very fast MS chasses in box stock :)
Could you shrink the original oval to a circle? just wondering as space is limited at my house and I do want a 3 lane track.
You can, but the outer lanes will always be longer than the inner lanes, so you really can't race with that configuration.
I appreciate your video. It was helpful for me when I pulled out the set and Skull would die as soon as it was supposed to have been charged. I ordered 4 batteries and followed your steps. I've soldered before (though not a lot) and I'd normally tried soldering holding a piece of solder and the iron to the wire. I gained quite a bit with your tip of putting some solder on the tip of the iron first. I soldered my first battery into place only to find that the batter really was not good. I desoldered that one and soldered in another. The 2nd battery was good and Skull is back up and running. I noticed though that Ground Chuck is flagged as having a low battery though as soon as it's charged. So... I think I'll replace that batter as well. Again, thanks for the tips.
Hi Claire, is marvel mystery oil also ok to use?😊
I've never used Marvel Mystery Oil :)
Saved me from a panic attack. Tha nks
What volt is that 10minutes under water is it 3 volts?
Yes, typically 3V. maybe a little less
That SkyRC unit isn't just a battery charger, but an analyzer. Most people who simply charge common cell types may be better off with a more compact and simpler Nitecore intellicharger. The MC3000 costs six times as much, and is large, because it includes load banks and cooling of them, for testing charge-discharge cycles, and battery spec compliance. That wouldn't be as important if there weren't major problems of spec and label and advertising frauds, where ScAmazon, lots of Chinese merchants, among others, perpetrate massive frauds over LEDs and batteries and other electronics. What's missing in important features is a system to shut down scam businesses, whether work from home foreign drop shippers and their massive at times suppliers, or ScAmazon and its problem affiliates. As to those other manuals, they stink of lawyer games. Obviously the warnings in some cases are generic lawyer-ese and disconnected from reality. One of the more extreme common form of those is when a chain saw manual gives detailed instructions for how to do certain common and at times necessary operations like a plunge cut, with bold lawyer-delusion captions in bold to "never do this". The most fun manuals I recall over the years were from Eventide Clockworks in their early days, as a bright engineer founder managed company with a small core of amazing staff. They produced professional audio time domain tools in the early days of that field, and had 24/7 international product support handled by that actual engineering tech staff and not isolation filter headset monkeys. The manuals had an outline of how to help someone who answers the phone at odd hours for their location, wake up and get coffee and become lucid, or otherwise focus from down time at night, if needed. Also fun people to joke around with at in person events, and have serious discussions about changing life reality of human perceptions tweaked with technology.
Another expensive hobby 😂 Gundam
Congrats!!
Smart watch to go about it. Always wanted a VZ chassis for open class. I just might try your style. Thank you for sharing, Clare!
Awesome! Hope you join the VZ revolution! VZs were my first open class cars.
@@claredin I surly will. 😁🚗
Nice! Congrats ✌️
Congratulations 👏👏🎉🎉
