In this video, we build a unique looking Sakura D5 MR RC drift rig that performs very well, at a budget price. This is a perfect setup for a loaner rig, a rental rig, or just another to add to the fleet. To keep the video from becoming any longer, we did not include drift footage. Drift footage of this rig will be released in upcoming videos, also with a comparison to a popular D5 clone.

Seems this is the best way to drift RC. Seeing how pretty much everyone swaps out 75% of the parts from RTRs.. doubling or tripling costs. Might as well pick and choose parts from the get go.

I was just thinking about a project just like this! To build a competitive backup car for as cheap as possible and then found this. Talk about perfect timing lol. Thanks for doing this video and keep up the good work bud.

@snipezpro9554

it's better d5s or d5mr, can you tell me sir?

@ripmax333 Жыл бұрын

My question is, does this Sakura D5 holds its own with other top brands like Yokomo and MST? Does it have any potential to be competitive?

@goguma2008

i just ordered this kit, just read it cant fit regular shorty lipos, you need to find 18.5 mm height lipos, can you confirm regular 25mm high shorty lipos dont fit even with spacers?

@christopherpaluck737

Would you guys sell a set of the vinyl decals you put on the D5?

Hey I’m new to the rc drifting hobby, what is turbo and boost exactly? What is it used for? Do you need a specific motor and esc for it?

I bought a used Sakura D5s as a second car. I replaced the shock absorbers, balends, steer arms and .. love that chassis 🙂 RMX is now the second chassis.

I want to add a very positive comment on Turtle Lab’s portable workstation he features on his videos . I purchased one and so have done a few car/trike builds using it. I find it a very enjoyable workstation, conveniently placing the tools in front of you and even capturing accidentally dropped items during the course of the build. I went with the steel for toughness and the ability to use magnetized lights anywhere on the workstation. I ordered the max setup for everything to take advantage of all the capacity it offers. I find this workstation setup a really nice addition to RC working table setup and really adds to my RC build/maintenance enjoyment . A+ on the workstation Turtle Labs!
