In this exhilarating Roadside RC episode, the fearless team embarks on a daring mission to transform the Sakura D6 from a conventional mid motor belt-driven setup to a cutting-edge lower rear motor idler gear configuration. The burning question on everyone's mind: which reigns supreme, the classic belt drive or the innovative idler gear? Armed with a plethora of parts from Three Racing, including idler gears, transmission housing, shims, and motor mounts, they dive headfirst into the intricate conversion process.
With the car's initial weight clocking in at 1,000g and a modest rear weight bias of 67%, the team sets out to unlock the potential benefits of repositioning the battery for optimal performance. As they meticulously assemble The Idler Gear diff Sak d630 and navigate the complexities of disassembling the rear components, challenges arise in adapting to the idler gear's unique requirements. The absence of conversion-specific instructions adds a layer of difficulty, forcing the team to rely on their expertise and intuition to navigate the conversion process.
Undeterred by the hurdles, the team forges ahead, carefully adjusting the idler gears to ensure seamless operation and precise gear mesh. By boldly deviating from the prescribed instructions, they craft a customized setup that maintains shock orientation and circumvents potential clearance issues. The strategic tweaks to the motor mount and ESC placement culminate in a remarkable increase in rear weight bias, promising enhanced traction and performance on the track. As the dust settles and the modified Sakura D6 emerges lighter yet more agile, the team revels in the triumph of their daring conversion feat, setting the stage for thrilling new adventures on the RC racing circuit.
