This what Atsushi bought!!
t was really difficult to pick the parts with a budget of 1,000 yen. (The photograph is Atsushi's pride and joy "Black Saber") |
 | With a budget of 1,000 yen I decided to modify the "Black Saber" I bought the other day. In order to make it a faster mini 4-wheel drive I thought about three key points and tried it out. üÜMake the body weight lighter Cut out unnecessary body parts by using a precision pin vice and nippers. Apply a black styling mesh to make it look cool. üÜMake the unresponsive front roller better Try replacing the stock roller with a light weight high mount roller üÜChoosing an engine I really wanted to use the ultra-dash motor but, because of the budget, I decided to use the hyper-dash motor with a high speed gear attachment. It's still not the power vehicle that I really wanted to build but I learned that in a course with lots of curves the front roller and engine are equally important components. |  |
