RS4 Sport 3 Drift: Featuring Dai Yoshihara’s Subaru BRZ
We’re expanding the RS4 Sport 3 Drift range with the help of Dai Yoshihara and his awesome Turn 14 Distribution Formula D machine! The 2011 series champion and multiple podium finisher has had his classic Nissan S13 replica in our drift car line-up for some time, and we’re extremely proud to have the next car in his fleet, an amazing 1000 brake horsepower Subaru BRZ beast!
The Subaru BRZ body features Dai’s official Turn 14 Distribution race livery in its unique blue, black and silver finish – another amazing replica drift car to add to our ever-growing athlete line-up! The Subaru BRZ is a rare sight on the drifting scene, so right out of the box this beauty will be the center of attention! Under the hood, this 1/10th scale Subaru is built on the fan favourite HPI Racing Touring Car chassis, the RS4 Sport 3. With full time shaft driven 4WD, a fully sealed drivetrain, waterproof 2.4 GHz electronics/radio gear, fully independent double wishbone suspension and adjustable oil filled shocks, you’ll be ready to shred in any condition.

We’re introducing an awesome new wheel in our 1/10 line up, inspired by the actual R.M.K Design R5 Forged Wheels used by World Champion drifter Dai Yoshihara on his Subaru BRZ drift car. Moulded from durable nylon, these lightweight wheels are tough enough for racing and stylish enough to stand out in any winning line up.
Falken Azenis RT615 T-Drift Tyres
Rounding out the package are official replicas of the actual tires that Dai Yoshihara runs on his Subaru BRZ: Falken Azenis RT615 T-Drift Tires are a special hard plastic tire with the fully licensed tread pattern from the popular Falken Azenis RT615 tire. The realistic tread pattern is also a great way to show off your drift machine. The extremely hard compound delivers long life and makes it easy to break traction to get your machine sideways for maximum drift angle as you clip the apex.
![double-bellcrank steering](https://hobbiesdirect.com.au/image/catalog/product/hpi/hpi-120096/descriptions/hpi-120096_04.jpg)
The performance tested adjustable double bell crank system provides optimum steering precision at all speeds. A metal drag link plate connects the cranks for extra durability; the additional drag link mounting positions also allow Ackermann angle adjustments.
![double-wishbone fully adjustable suspension](https://hobbiesdirect.com.au/image/catalog/product/hpi/hpi-120096/descriptions/hpi-120096_05.jpg)
The suspension of the RS4 Sport 3 uses the race-proven double-wishbone suspension design, similar to a full-scale modern race car. You’ll be able to control the anti-squat and anti-dive of the front and rear arms using the standard pivot blocks, and the option parts allow you to adjust the sweep and toe angles. You’ll also be able to easily change the roll centre front and rear with the racing-style vertical ball stud mounting on both the inner and outer camber link mounts. Multiple shock mounting positions provide a full range of shock suspension angle adjustment to suit different road conditions.
![adjustable height body mounts](https://hobbiesdirect.com.au/image/catalog/product/hpi/hpi-120096/descriptions/hpi-120096_06.jpg)
The adjustable height body mounts let you fit any 1/10th scale touring car body from HPI Racing to the RS4 Sport 3 chassis. All you need to do is adjust the front, and rear body mounts to allow the wheels and chassis elements to fit properly underneath the body. Body pins hold the mounts in place, and the multiple mounting hole positions allow you to fine-tune the exact body fitment.
![tunable rear suspension](https://hobbiesdirect.com.au/image/catalog/product/hpi/hpi-120096/descriptions/hpi-120096_07.png)
The rear hub is fitted with a vertical ball stud style adjustment that allows easy rear roll centre adjustment. Moving the ball stud up or down with the optional spacers changes the traction characteristics of the rear end as the car goes through the turns. The suspension arm also features three different shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.

One of the ways we gave the RS4 Sport 3 the best possible handling was to make sure all the components fit as low as possible in the chassis. This gives the car an amazingly low centre of gravity for enhanced cornering capabilities.
