Sakura Zero - Finally a whole new kit - guess who makes it?

I don't really know what I was doing..But I manged to come across this BEAUTIFUL new kit coming out in a couple of weeks...Apparently it's designed by 3Racing (not really...They leach off the best manufacturers and produce the most amazing stuff) and also manufactured by them.

Just like the parts they make, I'm betting this will be just as good, if not better.

"This is the all-new design of spur gear adaptor. Besides reducing the weight of screws, screw-less spur gear adaptor also reduces the first transmission power loss."...They sound very confident!

And since it's been manufactured by folks who know exactly what we want, it'll have the right hop-ups available... one-ways, solid axles/spools...
These are all the pictures I could find, if anyone's got more, let us see very happy

Whaddaya'll think?

AdBull.

cool .......not baad other then the fact that its rip off from other major brands....but in the end its a same car with a different name, but at least its a strong rip off

Looks ok, certainly won't be a short supply of parts. Personally, my jury is still out on the 3Racing stuff....some of it is very good, and some of it is horrendously bad...

That's a lot of turnbuckles. =/

3Racing parts are good and durable. Not as great as original parts, but they seem to be the best 3rd party manufacturer around.

A bad thing I don't like about parts from 3Racing is that the anodizing they do isn't all that great.
The color fades and is easily worn out after use.
But that's just the color, the functionally of the parts still serves it's purpose. =)

another chassis to look out for....

2010 seems to be a great year for drifting with new chassis from different companies coming out of the market...
