3 Racing Sakura D3 CS Drift
#1261
Went for a practice session at the LHS drift track yesterday...dropped down my FDR to 6.46 with 100t spur and 28t 64 pitch gears. Found more improvements since some of the big sweeping elevation turns allows me to go faster as I drift up the elevation and avoid hitting the inner rails.
...now starting to have even more fun with my D3 during practice sessions

Also can anyone explain from experience what changing the cs ratio will do from a handling/performance perspective?

Hi lads,has anybody manage to find a better quality front belt for this car ? I've gone thru my fifth front 138t belt yesterday.
I have tried all different tensions on it,it's just simply a shit quality belt.
Anyone manage to find a carbon Kevlar kind of belt ?

I've read a guide on Driftmission that recommends Tamiya aramid belts
it says they resist streching, never try'ed it myself as I didnt build my car yet

I dropped a little to 1.81 ratio...which makes it a little easier to handle and not spin out as much. Bt, I think as I get better...I will go back to stock 2.14 CS and have even better drift angles!

I'm running blue front and pink rear
and an 8.5T Yeah Racing hackmoto motor and Hobbywing Xerun V2.1 ESC

Also, check to make sure nothing is binding and that both sides are equally tensioned by the position of the bearing adaptors and not tweaked

i got the 3racing D3 set of the optional springs...right now i am using the purple and blues...haven't tried out the others yet...but right now, with my fully hopped up D3, it is working very good and I am very happy with it.

Bugger.
Did the front and rear A Arms and then realised that I dont have my aluminium steering rack yet and cant do anymore.
Oh and FYI using either AE Black Grease or Losi Black Grease works well to grease the threads when screwing in to plastic.
So far.... no stripped heads!

Got more practice in today at LHS carpet drift track. Met someone there that helped me make more adjustments...and to my surprise, had to let the chassis kick out even more...contrary to what I initially thought to prevent spinning out. He showed me how to drift smoother and utilize the chassis to continue into the drift and let the D3 do the work
...and by doing so...steering input is minimal. A lot of the drifting is controlled by smooth delivery of throttle and more throttle. Releasing the trigger would induce the D3 to kick out and go into a transition and then more smooth throttle to continue the drift after the transition.

.and I started to see and get a feel for it. I almost felt like I was driving completely wrong with my D3 every since.
It's a whole different mentality...but it does look sweet. (Specially in full steering lock)
When I get better with finesse, I will make another video
