Got in the mail today! Ordered from dinball on ebay. Took about a week.
If you are in the U.S. you could of ordered it from TQ Racing and got it much sooner!

Picking up a Sakura XI soon to start racing in 17.5 sportsman. Besides getting full ball bearings, would upgrading to the floating servo mount make a huge difference? Which other extra parts would be useful when i start racing? Stabilizer set? Front end parts?
Going to run it with a Futaba 3pl, FEETTECH lowlrofile servo and sp reventon r+V3 mmm 17.5 motor. Hopefully i'll be set for a while. And all for about $300.

Kimbrough 48p 66T (aka: team associated 66) is a perfect fit onto the Xi pulley.
The swaybars work very well also - either the Zero set, or the Xi set.
If the swaybars and a kimbrough 66t are not properly working, something may be out of whack.

Anything else I should upgrade? Any benefit using SSK drive shaft?
If I would to install anti-roll bars, will it be sufficient just install on the front?
Thanks

Is it having SSK shaft for the front is sufficient? What about the rear shaft?
Thanks

SSK is not a necessary piece, but it will help if you are already consistent and fast, and run with a thick front diff/spool. The standard cvd's in the rear are more than enough, as they won't reach a steep enough angle to justify the use of an SSK-type shaft.

Has anyone tried the graphite chassis? I would like to save some weight and this will do more than I need.

Regarding the anti-roll bars, will it be useful or sufficient to install only the front?
Thanks

hi guys, I just bit the bullet and bought myself a xi, this will be my first rc ever, and I have a quick question: I plan to use the xi as a drift car to play with my nephew, after much reading I realize that I should put in a one way diff for the front, and that is where I have a problem, 3racing SAK-U315 (ultimate) vs SAK-59 (zero-s), they both say it is compatible with the xi, so is the diff the same? the zero-s one looks like it has a gear on it, where the ultimate does not...can anyone help me out? thanks!
