All - Just bought the Sakura S Zero. Great Car. Silly question. I do not see where you can hook up the receiver antenna? Is there an antenna post?

Thanks -

Check page 19 of the manual. Picture in the upper left corner shows the plastic antenna mount.

Hope your not too serious about being your last build. you will miss out on a lot. Having good tools, patience, and good forearm endurance is the key. Mine went together without a problem. Even built the fgx without a problem. A few people have complained about the screws in the kit. I didn't have a problem there either. Been racing this car for quite a few months and have done a few complete tear downs and still on the original screws.

Congrats on the zero s. You will have a ton of fun racing at hotshots in marietta. A lot of sakuras on the track and a lot of racer support. I'm running the yellow usgt corvette right now. soon to be a gold Ford gt. I'm also running the red ferrari f1 car. I usually run Saturdays but I won't be there this weekend. Trying to make it out this Wednesday. If you come out be sure to say hi.

Yea... a bit of oil on the screws, and tapping the holes first helps a bunch.

Oh and a good set of hex/allen is a must.. can't really cheap out there.

believe me, I learned that that hard way.

Yea probably not my last build Jaja be used I'm enjoying building it..I think next time I will prepare myself with better tools..anyone have a suggestion on how to make the threads on the screws go easier? I heard u can put some grease on the tip of the screw helps?

I thought the screws went in easy compared to all the 1/8 scale cars i've built anyway

Thank Cannot make it this week but I will be there soon. Saturday nights are better for me. I have been there several times on the off-road track. This is my first on-road car and I am excited. I plan to race the VTA class soon. I will stop and say hi. I just painted a blue BMW body last night and it looks great

Welcome aboard. I think I met you a couple of weeks ago. Saturdays are normally less stressful as the series night is Wednesday (we're between series now anyway, but ...)

You do know that the BMW won't be VTA legal, right? If it's your first time on road and on the track it'll probably only last a few weeks anyway

VTA has an approved body list. See http://www.usvintagetransam.com/rules/index.html

Yes I know. I guess I bought the BMW body to practice with and it looked nice I do plan to get the VTA body soon along with the Novak setup. For now, I will use my spare esc/motor (17.5) that I have laying around.

i know this has nothing to do with this car but ive always thought it would be cool if 3racing came out with a 1/12 pan car that's not expensive like they did with the sakura zeros s make it out of the non expensive parts and such like the zero s and not out of all graphite and aluminum

I'm a little surprised they haven't done that, too. I like my Zero S's a lot and an inexpensive 3Racing 1/12 pan would make a nice addition to my collection.

Maybe the 1/12 is next???? It really makes sense for them to do it the way they did. F1 is very popular in aisa and a 4wd tc chassis is popular everywhere. Around here 1/12 is a come and go class. I haven't run my serpent in months. it sure is fun to drive though.
