i bought the new top line springs today, white and yellow, for testing...

and also a pair of yokomo R2.

Tuesday night is new setup shakedown, with the recently added gyro.
after that, I will change my springs and tyres to test more possibilities and see whats the best!

thanks for your help mario ^^ and i saw your Mp on facebook Wink

i adjust the rear camber to 1 °, and the front to 3,5 °, for more grip, and i remove all the lest in front, and 40gr in rear.
Looking better.. So what tires are you using? The vid said rubber tires in the rear??

Looks pretty good in the last video!
I am wondering, how much effect does the gyro have? Is it possible to drift rwd without it or is it absolutely necessary?
if you wanna drift without gyro, it's possible if your track have a lot of grip. the gyro is necessary because your brain is slowly than the gyro.  

i don't know if you understand me...
Is the Sakura D3 chassis a good investment? i need to upgrade my chassis and thinking about this one, but ive never owned a belt drive car. And would you recomend upgrading the engine, servo, etc.?

the D3 isn't to bad as budget chassis' go, it come 114% CS out of the box but can be difficult to set up. always keep a supply of spare belts handy! if you do go this route get the wide angle CVD's, an FOW, and the new rear pulley mount with the belt tensioner. I'd get a new motor/esc and servo and a receiver so you can keep your old car on the road
