I don't have a D3 yet, so I can't try to fit the diff. I need a diff, so before I know if one fits, I'm not going to buy the D3. There's no point in getting one if there's no diff for it. There surely must be someone who tried a diff?

the d3 is a little different than most chassis, what I notice is you don't need to counter steer so much the second you get sideways, all you have to do is go full throttle and let the over-driven rear wheels do the rest

It's not hard to get it sideways but for long bends you do need to counter steer a bit I love tight turns and switch backs I release the throttle lock the rear it steps out the to the opposite direction your steering then back on the throttle to keep the drift going while counter steering. I love this chassis especially with the mods I've done.

Hahs! Welcome to the addiction!
Don't worry. This is the better kind...better than spending it on drugs.
But I understand what you mean...I think I need to go into rehab because of this addiction!
And just when you think you placed your final order...then you figure out something else to spend your money on and keep adding more to that order. Lol!

pickled

are you going to get the rear bulkhead and alloy suspension mounts (don't forget suspension balls if you do!) It's a great addiction.

Tell me about it!

Im supposed to be saving for a wedding!

No plans yet, Im hoping what I have will keep me going for a while, and will allow me to learn.

What tires do y'all run when on smooth concrete?

I would also like to know the answer to this.

Hell I would like to know how you mount drift wheels to Drift tyres!

Is it just CA glue like in Offroad?

Slushiest_MJ

I got HPI T-Drifts, and ABS Placstic ones and I can't grip at all. Nothing just spins all the time. Was thinking about just leaving T-Drift in the rear and putting something with more grip in the front. Maybe some HPI Grips or the HPI A drifts they are more rubber than hard plastic.
Anyone else got ideas?

As for mounting hard plastic ones (HPI T-Drifts)all I did was boil them for like a 30 seconds to get them kinda soft and then press them down on the wheel. After they are on the wheel I put them in the freezer for a few minutes to shrink them back down and harden them back up.

At the moment I'm running Spice SPD-008's High flat pull reversible drift tires.

But I've bought some Super Racing D5's for asphalt/concrete

I've heard good things about Raikou Drift Tires

Ok from what I've learnt about drift tyres you don't want to glue them! what you do is put the rims in the freezer over night, boil a small saucepan of water then turn it down to a simmer drop a tire into the pan for about 40 sec then take a rim out of the freezer and the tire out of the pan carefully use a butter knife or something place rim on a flat surface and slip the hot tire onto the rim leave till cool repeat process till all wheels are done and cooled then you have your completed drift wheels. The process can be repeated to remove the tires from the rims aswell
