Carbon deck upgrade for a firmer Sakura D5MR chassis

The 3Racing Sakura D5MR Carbon Upper Deck, model number SAK-D549, is a lightweight carbon fibre upgrade aimed at improving chassis behaviour. It gives drivers a firmer platform that helps with steering predictability on mixed surfaces.

Why fit a carbon upper deck?

Carbon fibre construction keeps weight low while increasing torsional stiffness. The deck is accurately produced to match the Sakura D5MR mounting points, making for a straightforward swap. Increased rigidity cuts down on unwanted flex so the car responds more precisely to setup changes and driver input.

Will I notice a weight penalty after fitting this deck?

No significant weight penalty is expected; carbon fibre maintains strength while keeping mass low compared with many alloy or composite alternatives.

Is any chassis trimming required?

The SAK-D549 is cut to fit the Sakura D5MR, so trimming is usually not necessary. Check mounting holes and clearances before final assembly.

How does it affect setup adjustments?

With a stiffer deck you may notice less chassis roll and a tendency to respond quicker to suspension and anti-roll bar changes, so recheck baseline settings after fitting.
