3 Racing Sakura D3 CS Drift

I didn't replace the shocks on mine, but I did replace the shock spacers, pistons, lower e-clips and shock bodies. I also built the shocks (very) carefully, with green slime around the o-rings and shock ends to cut down on the possibility of leaks... But they will happen I'm sure.

The manual recommends cutting a few millimeters off the back of the bumper to get it to fit, which I dutifully did, but whatever material they're using for the bumper made it difficult to bevel the underside for clearance as I normally would.

Again, I'm not knocking the car, but now that I've upgraded the pullies, added titanium gearbox shafts and an alloy rear bulkhead bearing housing, as well as an alloy belt tensioner, the price is starting to get up there.

I've just ordered some more parts to try the C-hub delete mod for it, and will post pictures if that works...

Dorvack.

yes I know the prices start to accrue and if we buy all the options in the end we will end up with a top end chassis. So it will cost us a bit in the end. I have had the lower shock o-ring retainer come loose spilling the oil. I haven't built mine as slowly as you I just service them every couple of weeks. Sorry if I got a bit defensive I've had my fair share of drama's with this chassis too, but I've overcome or modded my way out of it. I'm not going to add all the option parts to this chassis I'm going to wait till the carbon is released then build a complete other car with the parts. I just ordered a set of alloy pulleys and deleting the C hubs are you using the yokomo caster blocks?


this is the belt tension mod I came up with for this chassis
