Doesnt list locations?
For those who don’t know, you can get Pocket Circuit equipment from the pawn shop and some weapons dealers(another way to get mesu king cards). The way to get them faster is winning a circuit and being called that there is new items in the Pocket Circuit Stadium.
I find your guide to be the most helpful one on the web. All specs you listed were sure-fire winners! Thanks so much!
The build for substory 50 is way too slow. Change the battery to the High Speed Battery and be ready to mash circle in the first round and you should win, but it’ll be a very close victory.
Guard dog of the circuit didint help me at all. Changed battery to high speed one and won…
You have the best builds of all the sites I visited it’s really beautiful
Your nothing but a liar I tested all these ended up losing every one of them the rc cars are randomized bud maybe next time do more gaming before you make a fake guide and cost everyone time
Bro you’re actively wrong, I’m currently using this guide and I’m winning. You’re just the Hater of Dojima
