The Sakura Ultimate is as the name suggests, the top end touring car chassis 3Racing currently produce. It replaces the the successful Sakura XI chassis and using their 2 years of experience, 3Racing have managed to completely redesign the race platform improving key elements such as, suspension geometry, flex symmetry and weight distribution. SakuraUltimate-1 Inside the box, it is pretty much what we expected from 3Racing. Detailed instructions and clearly labelled part bags makes building a complex chassis very straight forward. SakuraUltimate-2 The Sakura Ultimate uses a front locked and a rear ball differential for a super sharp front end and a stable rear axle. 3Racing offers a wide range of diff systems for the Sakura as hop ups if you want to further customise the handling of the car. SakuraUltimate-3 The chassis makes great use of carbon fibre graphite and aluminium parts, which other brands will usually only include with a chassis costing twice as much. SakuraUltimate-4 It's good to see that the whole drivetrain is supported by aluminium bulkheads allowing it to support powerful motor systems with ease. SakuraUltimate-5 Bando drivebelts as standard for improved performance and reliability. SakuraUltimate-6 All new direct aluminium steering rack system for smoother steering response and vastly reduced steering 'slop' SakuraUltimate-7 SSK Front CVD for maximum traction when used with a front spool. ARB with adjustable droplinks front and back are included as standard SakuraUltimate-8 The Ultimate comes with all new Factory Racing oil dampers featuring aluminium thread shock body and harden and PTFE coated shock shaft for improved strength and efficiency. SakuraUltimate-9 All these suspension parts are mounted on carbon fibre graphite front and rear shock towers featuring a wide range of shock mounting positions. SakuraUltimate-10 Here are some photos of the completed build with and without electronics. SakuraUltimate-12 SakuraUltimate-13 SakuraUltimate-14 SakuraUltimate-16 SakuraUltimate-17 Overall, we feel the Sakura Ultimate definitely lives up to its name. We would highly recommend this chassis to any RC enthusiasts with the skills and experience to take on a high end chassis but are being held back due to the high costs.
