Race Spec Graphite Upper Deck for Setup Precision

The 3Racing SAK-A533/ST Graphite Upper Deck is a race focused upgrade for the Sakura Advance 2K18 EVO chassis. Manufactured from precision graphite, this deck increases torsional rigidity to sharpen transitional behaviour and reduce unwanted flex under load, aiding drivers who tune aggressively for lap time gains.

Technical Advantages for Tuners

Graphite delivers a high stiffness to mass ratio which improves chassis consistency across varying track conditions. The reduced compliance allows finer suspension tuning and more predictable weight transfer for quicker steering inputs and improved mid corner stability.

Fitment and Setup Considerations

The SAK-A533/ST mounts using the Sakura Advance 2K18 EVO standard points for quick installation. Tuners should consider revising spring rates, shock damping and anti roll bar settings after fitting to optimise front to rear balance and exploit the increased chassis rigidity.

What setup changes are commonly made after fitting this deck?

Common changes include softer rear springs or increased rear shock oil to compensate for reduced chassis flex, plus small adjustments to front toe and camber for optimal tyre contact.

Does the deck affect roll centre or ride height?

The deck itself does not alter roll centre geometry, but the increased stiffness changes dynamic ride characteristics, so check ride height and corner weights after installation.

Is this suitable for competitive regional racing?

Yes, it is intended for competitive settings where chassis consistency and precise handling are critical; pair with tuned suspension components for best results.
