Not  per-say but look up suspension 101 in the guides section most of my KPI mod is in that thread



I adjusted my toe out a bit 2* so not as much ackerman now

Anyway that can shed some light on the diff issue I asked about earlier?

Can I get a Sakura S geardiff or maybe a balldiff in the front of the Sakura D3? Or any other diff that might fit? Sakura FF balldiff with a Sakura S/D3 pulley perhaps?

I think the sakura zero S will fit if you turn them around but not a 100% sure, for the front or you could line the pulleys up on the opposite sides

Hi All

Been speaking to pickled on rctech.com but figured that this site was probably a better place to hang out for the Sakura D3

Just ordered my D3 CS yesterday, first drift car (first on road car!) Ordered a Tamiya 86 shell to make her look pretty.

Also ordered

1 x 3Racing Aluminum Front Bulkhead For Sakura D3 #SAK-D315/PK
1 x 3Racing Low Friction Front Belt 519 For Sakura D3 #SAK-D116

1 x 3Racing Spring Set For #M03M-13/LB/V2 #M03M-13/V2/OP

Anything else glaringly obvious I should order? pickled mentioned picking up some 1mm & 0.5mm m3 washers so they are already on the list. I will also be mainly running on smooth/polished concrete, massive underground parking garage for my apartment block, so any advice one wheel/tyre and shock oil/spring choice is appreciated.


Slowly reading through this thread.


Cheers for all the info.- Will

If your drifting on concrete I would suggest medium or hard spice tires. The softs will be a little aggressive

I think those springs will be too short? I'd get the blue SAK-D329 and green SAK-D326 from 3racing.com also try and get some Xpress (#XPA-BN4812) 4.8/12 Ball End and Yeah Racing (#BN-0009BK) 4.8mm Delrin Ball End Size 15.00mm these are what I got to replace the stock ends as they are open ball ends

they should have called it the hachi-roku GT sounds way better, he's just gonna have to leave the diffuser off or cut the rear of the shell to match?

Wow Thanks guys!

Ok so now I have...

New Tyres
New Blue and Green Springs
Rear Alloy Bulkhead
New Ball Cups

Now the shell is the new FT86/FRS not the old one.

I also have a spare set of RPM ball cups would they work?

1 x 3Racing Aluminium M3 Flat Washer 1.0mm (10 Pcs) (PK) #3RAC-WF310/PK
1 x 3Racing Aluminium M3 Flat Washer 0.5mm (10 Pcs) (PK) #3RAC-WF305/PK
1 x 3Racing Aluminum Rear Bulkhead Bearing Housing For Sakura D3 #SAK-D313/PK
1 x 3Racing Aluminum Steering System For Sakura D3 #SAK-D310/PK
1 x *Yeah Racing 50mm Aluminum Damper Set (BU) For 1:10 Touring #DP-0001BU
1 x *Yeah Racing (#YA-0291-4PL) Transmitter Bag For Futaba 4PL
1 x SPICE (#SPD-008) High Flat Pull Drift Tire Reversible Hard


No springs, as they didnt have any so I grabbed a Yeah Racing 50mm Damper kit. Hopefully that will fit.

Now thats it. NO MORE!

the dampers on the D3 are 54mm just get the springs from 3racing you'll need 4.3mm ball links as well
