PurpleDrumstick Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Anyone for a fully hopped up D4 RWD. This thing drifted so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurcyP Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 looks nice, noticed the motor is toward rear in a typical mounting spot, what does it handle like as my FXX has the motor right at the front. im guessing you need to load the front end up with weight otherwise you have no front end control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 im not sure i can comment tbh. Last night was my first time drifting properly lol i tried two different 4wd chassis' and that beauty of a d4. Only thing i did find is the d4 is very understeery but he could drive it epicly well, he said its all in power control and practice. He was pleased with how i did for a first timer though. He also said there is one MUST buy hop up for the d4 which is alloy steering arms as theres too much play in the plastic ones so they will be purchased soon Also, he could drift tandem with his mate who was using a DIB 4wd chassis and still keep up with him. They arent as slow as people say they are once setup right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arent as slow as people say they are once setup right Understeer particularly on entry can be sorted by dialing in more negative camber, i use around 8 degrees now and its much more reactive but its also personal preference. all the talk of RWD is crap, all the negativity comes from those who give up after 5 seconds and have no clue what they are talking about. I have had the FXX-D go silly quick, however this is with softs and the tyres literally melt, even my DS racing mediums are melting on the rear ive initiated drifts so quick on softs that ive over taken the 4wd boys ...fun but wont be using softs any time soon as it will ruin the carpet which is used for racing as well so that plus additive lol.

PurcyP Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Setup with RWD is immensely important so yea station will be so useful. experiment with shock position, camber link position and length etc. i know the rule of thumb for some reason is front shocks straight up and then lay the rears down, i found it too fast when it came to transitions, a bit snappy. changing the shocks and camber links slowed it all down for me. ..but yea rwd is a tinkeres game so keep experimenting.

That it is that it is. His is the reason I got a rwd as I loved it. I know I don't have the oxygen kit (yet) but setting it up as close to Dan's as possible to try and get the same kind of feel from it.

PurpleDrumstick Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Damn it. That's cheap lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 How can they sell these off for so little money?! I'm so tempted to get one of these. I'd wait for a few people to buy them and make sure everything fits first, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I might message them to see if it is a full car, and not just a bag of upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 From the description it seems like the complete chassis but you never know! It'll be a "clone", whatever it is. There used to be crazy cheap D3 chassis around. Full carbon and aluminium chassis for a hundred pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It can't be too bad, it's cheaper than a basic d4. And you could afford to change a few things as it has more to offer than a stock one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Here's the cheapest guy who is selling it, it's pre built to the stage of the pictures. This seller also goes into a bit more detail about it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-10-Alloy-Carbon-SAKURA-D4-RWD-Drift-Racing-Car-Frame-Body-Kit-KIT-D4RWD-/171996370282?hash=item280bc8556a:g:Ii0AAOSwkZhWQ~2q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
