Included in the Stage-D kit is a mid-engine chassis
that relocates the engine to the middle of the car to optimize the balance of
the car for drift driving, tested and designed by the HPI Japan drift crew. The
new chassis is precision machined from 3mm aluminium for durability and
track-tuned stiffness. Strategic lightening holes shift the balance of the car
to the front, making the car pivot and drift easily in the corners. Fully
countersunk chassis holes allow for extremely low ride height.
For custom looks, the alloy chassis is anodized in
brilliant purple. And, all of the necessary chassis conversion hardware is
included... front and rear drive shafts, exhaust header, billet alloy servo
mounts, alloy upper deck stand-offs, zero degree rear uprights, screws, fuel
tubing and an instruction manual.
Just like the real drift cars, lightweight carbon fiber is
included for maximum performance and durability. The Stage-D upper deck is made
from high tech 2.5mm carbon fiber, as are the front chassis brace and receiver
tray. The carbon fibre parts look great and add stiffness to the chassis. Based
on the mid-engine chassis design, the upper deck relocates the electronics and
fuel tank for a front biased weight distribution that allows the car to slide
smoothly and hold a steady drift through the corners.
Special drift tires are included, moulded from hard
compound rubber that has been developed purely for drifting. The HPI Japan drift
team did extensive testing to find a hard compound that allows high revving
nitro drifting on paved surfaces, with extreme durability for hours and hours of
drift action. To mount the tires, high impact nylon 5 spoke wheels are included,
26mm up front and 30mm in the rear that feature a realistic deep dish/large lip
look that fit perfectly on a wide range of 200mm R/C of JDM-style tuner car
bodies. The shiny chrome finish comes pre-masked in the tire
bead are to make gluing the tires quick and easy.
 
There's nothing like the power, sound and smoke of a nitro
engine to make the drift action as realistic as possible. Beyond the sight and
sound advantages over electric cars, this nitro conversion allows virtually
non-stop extended drift sessions, no waiting for batteries to charge, no
dumping, no bogging down in the corners, just peg the throttle and let the power
of the nitro engine haze the tires for realistic drift action!
