PurpleDrumstick Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'll do my best [emoji4] Good lad. I went nrd last night. The d4 runs so much better. Still got mad understeer though which I think is down to wrong front tyres and no front wheel weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenyboy Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Could you not relocate your battery? Would altering the gyro help kick the back end out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha id say that's a poor attempt but I know all I want to do is drift when im at the track haha Ill have a look. First things to try are definitely the weights and tyres then onto geometry which to be honest wont be far off. Ill have it on the setup station this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Wheel weights will help to keep the momentum in the wheels. Does it ever feel like the front wheels have stopped and fling the back out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony89 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 How you getting on with your fxx scratcher? You got much speed out of it? I was messing with my schumacher on friday up at soul. Nearly maxxed all settings on esc, and it was still slow. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When It got to 3:20 am and I had got bloody nowhere I gave up lol that rear end is so bloody complicated haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleDrumstick Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Just got back from a mad weekend at nrd. 14 hours of drifting including 4am drunk drifting lol the d4 is running amazing and almost running 90 degrees of steering lock after some adjustments lol I may have stupidly tested it without the bodyshell and snapped the lower arm in the last ten minutes though lol whoops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk I've put heavy weights on the back wheels and it's given it a bit more go. I've worked out what gear set should give me the right mix of speed, torques and stability so I'll be ordering it this week... I just keep forgetting. Are you running the Schumacher RWD?

anthony89 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yea just for a muck around! But actually handles ok'ish! Just need a little bit more speed Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Cool. RWD is way more addictive! A big struggle for me was finding grip on the rear. A guy was trying to help me tune it but just kept adding sprung weight which kinda helped but ruined the speed and handling. Changed it for a bit of unsprung weight, less camber, wheel weights and now it's better. Just need the gears but I'm putting so much back into my company this year that everything else is taking a back burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Another awesome weekend at NRD. Stopped over again, this time we were drifting until 6am lol about 16 hours of drifting on 2 and a half hours sleep, definitely interesting.

Ryanmorrison92 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Afternoon all just been reading through the thread while stuck on the M1 in traffic, on way to gatwick airport. Very good read a lot of information. I have had a 3Racing Sakura D3 for about 18months, it's totally stock and I have only used it on car parks. I want to get into a little more drifting. Is the D4 RWD a better rig as I'm not really a fan of all this CS ratio. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just won one of these, on an online competition [emoji847][emoji847][emoji847] I'll have to find some time now to get the car setup!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
