Technical Overview of the Sakura D4 AWD Sport Black
The 3Racing Sakura D4 AWD Sport Black, model KIT-D4AAWDS/BK, is presented as a drift platform with a pre-assembled chassis designed to accept performance upgrades while maintaining predictable handling characteristics. Its architecture supports stepwise tuning for competition use.
Visual and Structural Details
The Sport Black finish provides a conservative visual profile suited to track use, while the silver rims retain a clear profile for assessing wheel alignment and camber during setup.
Upgrade Compatibility and Parts
The chassis layout includes mounting provision for an aluminum steering system (#SAK-D4819) and space for brass weight balancers (#SAK-D4801, SAK-D4802 series), sold separately. These parts are typical first steps to alter steering ratio and mass distribution for competitive handling.
Suspension and Tuning Notes
The mono shock configuration centralises damping characteristics and reduces variable maintenance points, enabling consistent response across sessions. Simplified front upper arms permit fast caster adjustments to suit different track grip levels.
Component Interchangeability
Standard knuckles are compatible with the D3 and D4 Sport Edition brake disc set (#SAK-D301/V2), and the front one-way unit provides a serviceable handbrake effect used by drivers to initiate controlled oversteer during entries.
