I got the Tamiya speed checker in Hong Kong. And no, my avitar isn't me... LOL... Just search Ayumi Hamasaki on any search engine and you'll find more of her pics. She's a Japanese singer.

I had to hold the rear of the car over the rollers for mine to work. Not a lot, just enough for the rollers to grip... once you have it rolling for a fw secs, it should stop beeping

It sounds like these things are good for comparisons but I don't think they are going to show true speed. If you just need speed, maybe the treadmill trick will do.

that's about it SK, that's what I use mine for.
They just measure how fast you can get the wheels to spin.
