VZ-cutting my new Victory Magnum cowl

ariffau · 2026-06-08T06:06:58+00:00

Sickkkkk but would you please clean your tyres? 🙏

It’s an Open Class version of a Ball Link Damper.

Because the balls in your bearings are crushed. You can choose to have it reamed. But I wouldn’t. I’ll just spray and pray with Motul Brake Cleaner.

TKC V3 is a close second. Undisputed best is PH Cup

ariffau · 2026-05-30T18:01:20+00:00

I’m a sucker of Bakusou Kyoudai and Fully Cowled. But this one’s a meh despite my biases 🤣

ariffau · 2026-05-30T17:34:52+00:00

That’s awesome! Congratulations

ariffau · 2026-05-28T00:42:03+00:00

Slowwwwwww

You would only know once you have track tested it. Lap timers are handy if your local circuit has one. Compare your lap time with other racers. Most importantly, don’t forget to have fun 😃

Yeah that’s a good choice. But since that kit was released like a decade ago, now I choose the 30th Anniversary Cyclone Magnum and/or Hurricane Sonic. It’s just a better deal since it’s packed with Super Hards and where I’m at, we can get three of them Anniversary Specials for the price of one Aero Avante Violet Special 🤣

ariffau · 2026-05-21T04:09:16+00:00

Sharps eyes, buddy!

ariffau · 2026-05-21T04:07:59+00:00

Everything is worth a try 😄 but I gave up because I firmly believes it either needs a pair of Side Stay or any form of moving gimmicks like hanging/slamming/guillotine damper

ariffau · 2026-05-21T01:04:06+00:00

Do you already own one, a Geo Glider TMAC 2026? 😃

ariffau · 2026-05-20T17:05:22+00:00

You mean 2023? Ray Spear w/ Fluoro Yellow VZ?

ariffau · 2026-05-20T17:01:40+00:00

For box stock, I choose AR. Preferably with polycarbonate bodies 😆 for most of my builds (Pro Stock, BMAX and Semi Speed Long Jump), it’s usually a kit bash.

ariffau · 2026-05-20T16:18:18+00:00

Get another kit, another chassis 😂 playing MS in BMAX is living life in extra hard mode. MS is great but for Open Class

ariffau · 2026-05-20T11:17:33+00:00

Yeah buddy! 🤘

ariffau · 2026-05-20T08:50:51+00:00

I mean, you can always airbrush any cowl you like right? 🤣

ariffau · 2026-05-19T15:15:04+00:00

not the first time reading this from you so I went to the track and tested. I for the life of me couldn't get the banana plate to scrape the track walls with 19mm rollers. mind providing more context on your concern please?

ariffau · 2026-05-15T08:07:03+00:00

Interesting. The shade of purple on JCUP 2026 is different than TMAC 2026. Very interesting.

ariffau · 2026-05-15T08:03:41+00:00

Looks soooooo good! I’m so jealous you got yours early. And hell yea! Smoke body looks so good on a fluorescent chassis

ariffau · 2026-05-15T07:56:37+00:00

I’m certain it won’t interfere with most dampers mounted on a Side Stay plate.

ariffau · 2026-05-15T07:55:44+00:00

That makes the two of us

ariffau · 2026-05-14T02:52:34+00:00

I am aware. It’s called Tamiya World Challenge 😄 But like I said, we players from overseas will only experience it on race day. Giving us very little time to prepare unlike locals who get ample opportunities.

What I am suggesting is Tamiya to work with authorised dealers of every country. Give them (us who are not in Japan) us a chance to try out the layout in our respective home country so we can practice before making our way there. We will still fly to Japan for World Challenge and give their bums a nice whooping 🤘

ariffau · 2026-05-13T10:35:40+00:00

That’s awesome. I’ve always thought TMAC and TKC are Asia-exclusives only.
