Team Academy STR-4 Pro II Build By Murdock

Can you make any touring car chassis into a drift machine? I have to say YES! So to go away from the norm I got a unique but familar touring car layout. Most well known RC cars are made in Japan or American brands. I sourced one from Korea. I wanted to build up something way different then what everyone runs, and found the only touring car Academy released couple years back. Academy is known for their models, and off road RCs. The chassis is somewhat old, but has many of the feature I like for drifting. Full carbon chassis with top and bottom deck carbon fiber, comes out of the box with front one way, easy to lock the diff without any modifications, very nice adjustable shocks, fully adjustble turn buckles for camber, and shaft drive for more solid throttle response. You can purchase the STR-4 Pro II from MRC in Jersey. Here is a link for the chassis.

Stage 2: The Build!

Bag A

Front One-way

Bag B

Assembled rear ball diff without the diff balls. The locking nut is made of aluminum so it can be tighten down harder then most. The rear axle is now completely locked without any glue, JB weld, and/or other methods.
