dbrunton Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Does anyone have any experience with the Sakura D3 copies from china. I was looking at one that looks nice and has all alloy parts and carbon chassis http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-Carbon-SAKURA-D3-CS-1-10-4WD-Drift-Racing-Car-Frame-Kit-w-Front-one-Way-/271594801184?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3f3c4fc820 not sure if its worth buying or not as it looks like it has all Sakura parts on it.

catalin4u24 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I don't think it is a copy. Its a fully hopped up sakura d3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 doesnt look like a copy to me either, at that price, it better not be either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I read on a few various places they are copies or wrong colour seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammy Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah they are cheap copy's. Some have had luck reporting no problems. Others haven't been so lucky. Reporting shed loads of problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gimp Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I've been looking at getting a D3 . Noticed a few with wrong colour purple parts. Whats the obvious to look out for Hammy/D3 guys so I don't get a lemon? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrunton Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I decided to buy one and see what there like, when it arrives I think I may strip it down and rebuild it myself will post some photos of it once it arrives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammy Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ahh yes a good strip down is a must. Thread lock everything as nothing will be Binding cvds Is one of the main ones, same old belt tension issues, and very quick wearing belts, as in, rips the teeth from the belt rather than belt snapping. A few rough edges here and there on metal and carbon. But like I say it really is luck of the draw. I was seriously considering one myself a while back thinking I could rectify and dodgyness, until I heard about the ban of clones on soulrc's track so haven't bothered.
