New camaro drift project

[looneybin]

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.

Nice looking ride! What offset wheels are those? 200mm body?

 

[looneybin]

+11 and yes its 200mm hpi body. Got some camber and thinner hex's to make it fit.

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

What chassis is it? where did you pick it up from?

 

[looneybin]

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.

Hey man i have the sakura d3 as well how are you going to mount that body? I having issues mounting mine because of where the body post line up on some of the bodies

 

[looneybin]

Actually I am having trouble too with the front. I ham going to run Velcro mounts though so I may work out different that posts.

Why you post this? I've been tuning brushless motors for drifting and had to pick up this kit now dangit!

i have my d3 kit not even close to being done built I'm having issue with the pulleys ordered the aluminum ones so it can be easier to install them the stock ones (plastic) are hard..

i have a rx7 body not even painted or touched..

anyways this clone is very good and has a lot of reviews. i should of went with this clone than the kit but the d3 is my first kit hopefully i can build it before thanksgiving.

im not sure but i think the clone dosnt come kit version

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

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.
