$300 RWD RC Drift Car Build | RC Drift Intro | Sakura D5S

The number one question we get about RWD RC Drifting...how cheaply can we get into it? Nobody ever asks the question about a top-shelf build.

Enter the Sakura D5S.
This chassis really sparked this conversation again for me. At less than $100, it is the cheapest RWD drift chassis on the market. Especially when you consider it even comes with tires, wheels, a pinion gear, and magnetic body mount in the box!!!!

The goal with this build: get drifting for less $$$ than the MST RMX2.0 RTR. You can frequently find it for $360-370. Example: https://amzn.to/3cRAs39
