So I decided to jump into the build a drift car scene and, got into a Sakura D6 , however its very very unorthodox .........
I originally built it with a Xerun 10.5 and the 120 quikrun ........... which was suffice it to say a most excellent set up, along with a revd servo and Yokomo gyro.
The transmitter I'm using is a Dumbo RC DDf 350 which really works well for its price point .
I was running it and wasn't really seeing the results I wanted, sooooo...........
I thought I'd try something different, I decided to swap out the Xerun and quikrun for a Sidewinder ESC with a Valineon motor...........which is pretty stable and really drives amazingly,
The Xerun and quickrun 120bl ended up in my MST RMX 2.5 and have made the MST a very driveable platform and a much more aggressive platform. whenever I can I'll upload some pics, anyone interested in talking on either platform feel free to message, and I'll reply as I'm available.

That’s awesome! I’d recommend keeping them and hitting the local track 😉. I’ve got my MST 2.5 all tricked out. Just ordered a SD3.0 blue kit. Will be my first kit build but I’m excited for it! (My mst)
