Track focused mass tuning with 3Racing SAK-D4801

The 3Racing SAK-D4801 brass weight balancer is engineered to adjust inertia characteristics on the Sakura D4 chassis. Its compact brass construction offers a high mass to volume ratio, enabling precise shifts in roll moment and yaw damping for drivers refining transient behaviour.

Technical benefits of brass ballast

Brass delivers dense mass in a small envelope, allowing setup engineers to lower the centre of gravity without compromising component clearance. This concentrated ballast influences weight transfer timing and can reduce mid corner snap when combined with suspension damping adjustments.

Integration with Sakura D4 setup work

Designed to install using existing Sakura D4 mounting points, the SAK-D4801 preserves suspension geometry while providing a repeatable ballast location for setup comparisons. It is suitable for testing balance points, evaluating front to rear load bias, and trimming steering response for competitive drifting.

How does this affect transient response?

The added mass increases rotational inertia, which typically smooths transient responses and reduces twitch during rapid direction changes. Adjust damping to maintain desired responsiveness.

Where is the best mounting location for tuneability?

Mounting close to the chassis centreline yields balanced roll control, while offset placement can bias understeer or oversteer. Use consistent mounting positions when testing to isolate variables.

What complementary changes should I make?

When adding ballast, review shock damping, ride height and anti roll bar settings to harmonise load transfer and maintain predictable drift angles at speed.
