Technical Note on the 3Racing SAK-A508 Graphite Upper Deck

The 3Racing Sakura Advance 2.0mm Graphite Upper Deck is a competition-minded component that reduces torsional flex in the Sakura Advance chassis. The 2.0mm graphite provides a repeatable stiffness profile that helps with predictable weight transfer and sharper steering response, useful when fine tuning handling for qualifying and race conditions.

Technical Highlights for Tuners

  • Material: CNC-friendly graphite for consistent mechanical properties across runs
  • Thickness: 2.0mm selected to give measurable stiffness gains without excessive mass increase
  • Compatibility: Profiled for secure mounting to Sakura Advance chassis points to ensure correct geometry
  • Performance: Reduces variable chassis deflection to make setup adjustments more effective and repeatable

How does the SAK-A508 affect setup sensitivity?

By lowering chassis flex, the deck increases sensitivity to suspension and anti-roll bar changes, which helps experienced tuners extract more predictable handling from fine adjustments.

Are there recommended tuning directions after fitting?

Start by softening damping slightly and re-evaluating roll centre with sway bar choices. The stiffer deck often allows increased front steering precision with modest changes to camber and toe.

Is the SAK-A508 a cost effective upgrade for club racers?

Yes, it is a targeted upgrade that improves tuning resolution and handling consistency at a reasonable cost, making it valuable for drivers focused on lap time improvements.
