Sakura D5 chassis wheel base

Modification on my D5S SPORT EDITION to get a millimetric configurable wheel base from 250mm to 262mm and fit “any” 1:10 body shell.

I also took the optional top motor mount. The back motor mount is a bit too on the rear – i.e. you can’t have a z4 coupe body shell.

Once you are sure… really sure… you want to cut this gorgeous machined chassis… the work is pretty simple, I used 1.5mm nice carbon plates and I drilled rails.

Parts on the rear are screwed and epoxy glued.
