Introduction of the uploader
Sakura : Japanese guy currently working in Germany.
My main hobbies are drawing, gaming, and RC cars.
I used to play RC cars a lot until about ten years ago. Then after long hiatas, I made a comeback to RC cars since late February of 2024!!
Recently I started RWD Drifting with Gyro too.

My Style and Attitude towards RC Cars
1: Usually play RC cars on public spaces.
2: Love to drive basically all categories; touring, drifting, offroads, trucks.
3: Always try something new, comparison and evaluaton of different chasses or configurations, etc...
4: Love making original handcrafted parts or modifications.

My Currently Drivable RC Cars
1: Sakura Zero S (I) : middle-speed-range 4WD touring chassis. I made some modifications to place items as close as to the center of the gravity. I believe it has the longest distance traveld so far. Yokomo Zero Brushless 17.5T, BL-PRO mk1. Top Speed : 42km/h (est.)
2: Sakura Zero S (II) : high-speed-range 4WD touring chassis, the fastest of my eintire fleet. Because of its sheer speed I rarely drive it. Vector X12 6.5T, XeRun120. Top Speed : 76 km/h
3: FF-03 Pro : 1/10 scale FF touring chassis. Always feels like to drive on its rail. Brushed 15T motor from Yokomo, Futaba MC600. Top Speed : 43km/h
4: M-05 ver.2 Pro : M size FWD touring chassis. Recently bought in March 2024 to expand the variety of the experience. Brushed 21T (Abshima's ECO boost series) and KOPropo's high-end ESC. Top Speed : 42km/h
5: M-06 Pro : First ever M size RWD touring chassis for me. Simaltaneously bought in March 2024 with M-05 ver.2 pro. Brushed 21T and cheap ESC (I broke LRP high-end ESC lately...). Top Speed : 42km/h
6: OTA-R : Belt-driven Countersteer-drifting chassis, based on TA-05, produced by Streetjam. Adjustable countersteering ratio (CSR) between 0 to 109%.
7: Drift Package Type C : Recently bought drift chassis in April 2024. Although front one-way differential, CSR 48 and 100 % are available, currently front and rear diffs are locked an d CSR is set to be 0%, for easy and straightforward drifting.
8: Sakura D5 MR Ver.2 : First ever RWD drifting chassis bought in April 2024. Rovox gyro, Tamiya sensorless brushless TBLM 12T. I've found the RWD drifting really interesting and fun!
9: DT-02 : RWD off-road buggy. Wider spiked tires have been set with some modifications on front suspension mechanisms.
10: XV-01 pro: 4WD off-road chassis.
11: XRT-4 High Trail: First ever Traxxas bought in March 2024. Remotely switchable 2 speed gearbox, front and rear diffs could also by locked and unlocked in real time.
