Sakura D5 Graphite Upper Deck Upgrade

The 3Racing SAK-D553/GR graphite upper deck is produced to improve the stiffness envelope of the Sakura D5 chassis. Its precision cut graphite gives a solid platform that reduces chassis flex, improving the car's response when you push for faster corner exits and tighter lines. The component is optimised for racers wanting a direct, balanced feel.

Handling and Weight Balance

By replacing the stock upper deck with the 3Racing SAK-D553/GR, the car gains a firmer upper structure while keeping overall weight low. This supports quicker steering inputs and helps the chassis return to its neutral posture faster after load changes, aiding stability under power.

Specifications

  • Material: Graphite
  • Compatibility: Sakura D5 Chassis

Will a stiffer top deck reduce traction?

A stiffer deck shifts how the chassis uses tyre contact; it can increase steering and midcorner grip but may require shock or antiroll adjustments to maintain traction on lower-grip surfaces.

Is drilling or trimming needed for fitment?

The part is designed to mount to the Sakura D5 without trimming. Test-fit before final assembly and use the original screw pattern for alignment.

How does graphite compare to aluminium for upper decks?

Graphite offers a lighter, vibration-damping option that stiffens the chassis without the extra mass of aluminium, affecting overall balance and feel. Choose based on tuning goals.
