Default New camaro drift project

Sold off the 4tec chassis and bought this beauty. Unfortunatly it is a clone of a sakura d3 drift car from 3racing. This one is full option and ran me $220 with a front one way bearing. I did my research and this thing has nothing but great reviews. Aluminum and carbon fiber look sweet and unlike most this chassis has a good rep for quality. Swapped the wheels and body over. Now I have build a new cage.

Got my speed passion 13.5 combo installed. Got to order a savox lowpro and a longer sensor cable and then we can roll.

Look up carbon and alloy sakura d3 on eBay. Seller is flyingxys or something like that. Its a knockoff but its good quality. There are many good reviews for it online. I have never read a bad one actually.

I just went through it and put locktight on everything. Heatshrinked the cvds as an extra measure and finished the wiring.

Hard to tell which is the clone and which isn't, seems all are listed as 3 racing products. Well, I got one kit and one carbon roller so I guess I have both.
