7mm was quite near to where I stayed in taichung, probably a 10 min walk away, but since it was late and trying to save time, i took a cab.... From the information that ilove599xx (a fellow member on these forums) gave, along with the reference pictures I saw on the internet care of their f_ _ e b_ _ k page (first word rhymes with mace, second hook)... the track was pretty easy to find as there was a sign outside the building.
a friend came along with me to the track... it was pretty handy that he spoke a little chinese (mandarin in particular) and it was a good thing too since my mandarin was quite limited to hello, thank you, and goodbye...
upon reaching the third floor, you could tell where the track was...
4/7
and a lot of autoscale bodies... half of which (bottom half) weren't for sale, as they belonged to the owner .... (i saw two original teile mercedes benz's)...
i also saw some dnano parts... and dnano autoscale bodies... most of which... were the owners collection and not for sale as well.... hahaha...
5/7
after taking some pictures and looking at some parts, i decided to purchase some stuff...
my friend prodded me on and asked if i wanted to try out their track since i purchased some stuff... i said ok... so he turned to shao chong and asked in mandarin if I could try one of their cars for a couple of minutes...
luckily one of the guys at the track relented, and lent me his car to test... it was an atomic chassis with a sc430 body... i couldn't really tell if it was a 4wd or a 2wd... but after looking at the pictures... it looked like a 4wd...
the white and blue sc430 bottom left, being prepped up... for... me...
6/7
it was the first time i got to drive the atomic chassis, and everything felt smooth... except for my driving... which was pretty rusty... hahaha... it eventually got a little smoother after a couple of laps...
and just like that it was time to go... not without purchasing a couple of autoscale bodies... 2 dnano batteries, and a d nano x-speed motor... (wish i bought some dnano tires as well)... sigh...
HOLY CRAP!!! Keep my Visa FFFAAAARRRR away from that place lol. That is Mini-Z heaven, just look at the inventory in that place.
I could only dream about that over here in North America (let alone Canada), just not a big enough scene to warrant that kinda stock (unless a lottery winner takes an interest in MiniZ lol).
