Troy, though the upper arms don’t appear to have any real benefit, the same could be said for the MST RMX 2.0/2.5. The upgraded arms may not seem to do all that much on their own. However, upgrading to aluminum arms did take away some of the sloppiness of the plastic. Whether there is a true benefit or not, my car definitely feels a little more tighter and more precise versus plastic.
@RoadsideRC 23 дні тому
I had a similar thought - I attempted to flex the stock arms...I just didn't see it. Instead of the plastic flexing- it seemed any tightness might have been gained by reducing slop that has been created due to the plastic wearing down on the hinge pins.

I understand that!

Great !!! They finally made it. But I confused, you show in this video that you have one spacer on the front and one on the back. But in "Alignment Settings" video it was two spacers on the front only. Did I miss something ? When did you change it ? And how about the lower arm, is there still 3 spaceres on the back only ? Thank you
@RoadsideRC 23 дні тому
Yes - I have changed the alignment more. Another video coming out soon.

Been thinking about upgrading my diff in the Sakura D5 MR...is there any diffs out there that'll fit it? Should I just lock the diff with hot glue?
@RoadsideRC 22 дні тому
Hi there! First off - locking is not an upgrade. You want the diff to be open. It makes for smoother drifts and higher speed. The D5 comes with a gear diff - which is actually one of the better options. Ball diffs can be great, but require a lot of tinkering. The only possible "upgrade" is the C-LSD from Rhino Racing. Not sure if anyone has fit one to a D5 yet.

@@RoadsideRC right on thanks for saving me the troubles..maybe I'll try a thicker or thinner oil to see what I like best.
