Boolean21's Sakura D4 RWD drift car

[BUILD THREAD] Boolean21's Sakura D4 RWD drift car

Got poisoned by Bro Chris's Sakura D4 RWDrift car and motivated to get this going...

Yes! I'm determined to master basic drifting on a RWD drift car!
I'll try!


Here's some photos to document the build..

Very compact packing and really, nothing much in the box! Which is good. Anyone can squeeze the build into their tight schedules.

 



Bro Chris also advised us to get the magnet mount for Sakura D4 and the pinion too.



And let the build begin!

One fruitful night of midnight oil consumed!
 



Will be adding the electronics soon!




Thanks for looking!

Continued the building up of the Sakura D4 RWD drift car...

Bought this interior some time back in view of setting up a RWD drift car and time has came!
Used a right hand drive body for this build

Here are the photos of the interiors
 


Now to see how i can install the interiors into this body shell.



Test fit...
 


Next, installing the magnet mount....

  

Epoxy would be a good choice to glue these magnet holders onto the body shell...
 


Done!



Now test fitting the interior in the body shell...
    


Paintng completed!
 


Now to cover up the previous mounting holes on the body shell...
 


Installing the extronics...
Used a sensored ESC Combo...
  
Done!
 


Setting up the radio...



Done! Ready for the night drift meets!

Poor man's light buckets - DIY light buckets for the drift car body

Needed some lights for the night drift meet... had been sourcing around for suitable materials for some easy DIY light buckets for the LEDs to light up the drift car during the night drift meets.

And came across this in the fridge...
So, I thought... quickly finished up the grapes and I will have light buckets!




Thinking of how to cut....



and trimmed out the light buckets...



Hot glued the light buckets onto the body shell...
I think I would need some training on how to use hot glue!

Never fail to be messy every time when using hot glue...
Any tips to share?

 


Drilled 3mm and 5mm holes for the LEDs, installed the light unit and tidied up the cables..

That's it, a quick and simple Poor man's DIY light buckets....

 

Thanks for looking!
Keep RC-ing!
