I just recently purchased a D4 rwd. Have built it up as to what I can without the electronics so far.
Compared to the team magic, the quality of parts seems rather poor.
Building the car was ok. However I made a few mistake putting the parts in the right way.
Besides that, it was easy to assemble. However the recommended tension setting in the manual was a little to high. Loosened this setting 1 step down.
I replaced the original hex adapters with alum disc brakes. In the end I had to remove the disc brakes in the front. It wasn't spinning as freely as it should be. I retained the rear disc brakes.
Front lock seems rather small. Increased lower arm about 6 mm on both sides. Added 3mm spacers to original 5mm hex. Front wheels still don't spin as smoothly. Brought out the wd40 and kinda fixed the smoothness somewhat. Will alum knuckles actually improve the spin ? Will get that later I guess.
Next steps is to get basic electronics for the car.
Anyone tried skyrc motor combo ? Looking at the 10t combo. Or should I just get speed passion r 10.5t.
Thinking of a cheap Sanwa servo to go with the car. Srg-cs
Will get the same gyro as my other car.
For now will reuse some older radio.
