Sport 3 Drift!
Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis
with an ALL-NEW Nissan
Silvia S15 Widebody

We’re excited to add another legendary team to our All-Star Drift lineup! The Sport 3 Drift range proudly welcomes the Feal Suspension Race Team. Founded by Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis, the CEO of Feal Suspension, Odi began his professional drifting career in 2011 and has since become a proven championship contender. He secured 2nd place in the Formula Drift USA championship in both 2023 and 2024, and took 3rd overall in 2021. 

To celebrate this incredible achievement, we’re introducing an all-new, officially licensed HPI Racing Nissan S15 Widebody 200mm Bodyshell, recreated with the Feal Suspension Race Team’s striking 2023/2024 livery in 1:10th scale. This highly detailed Nissan Silvia S15 body is paired with a full set of brand-new Kansei Astro Wheels in white, each wrapped in HPI Racing T-DRIFT Slick drift tires, so you can start sliding as soon as you hit the throttle.
New Body plastics include: Wing Mirrors, Engine Supercharger, Intercooler and Roof Vent details.

Under the hood, this 1/10th scale drift machine features the HPI Racing Sport 3 Touring Car chassis. With full-time shaft-driven 4WD, a fully sealed drivetrain, waterproof 2.4 GHz electronics and radio gear, independent double wishbone suspension, and adjustable oil-filled shocks, it’s ready to drift whenever you are!

 KANSEI ASTRO  WHEELS

We’re not only adding another legendary replica drifter to our lineup, but we’re also introducing a brand-new wheel design to our extensive selection of 1/10 wheels, tires, and bodies. Inspired by Odi’s personal choice of rims, the Kansei Astro wheel is a favorite among JDM enthusiasts worldwide. Featuring a Gloss White finish and eye-catching Orange spoke stickers, these wheels look every bit as stunning—albeit in miniature!

T-DRIFT TIRES

A slick plastic-type drifting tyre for easy sideways action and long tyre life! Our hardest compound drifting tyre yet, the T-Drift tyre will get you drifting and getting sideways in no time. Because of the very hard and slick tread of the tyre, you will be able to get into drift mode faster than ever! These are a special hard plastic type tyre that is ideal for drift drivers who are new to intermediate level.

Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis:
Nissan Silvia S15!

Odi began his motorsport journey racing motocross, where he also experimented with customizing his own motorcycle suspension. This led to the creation of Feal Suspension. Venturing into drifting in 2009, earned his professional license in 2010, and was named Formula Drift's "Rookie of the Year" in 2011.

Odi competed in the inaugural Formula Drift World Championship securing his first of many Formula Drift victory at Road Atlanta in May 2015. In 2018, he debuted the Nissan Silvia (S15), which has undergone several transformations over the years. Most recently, the car showcased Odi's own Feal Suspension Race Team livery during the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

One-Piece Molded Chassis

The main chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and features the drivetrain tunnel molded right down the middle, just like a real car. It's a step beyond any plastic tub chassis car available today.

Low Profile Layout Design

One of the ways we gave the Sport 3 Drift 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 center of gravity for optimum cornering capabilities.

2S LiPo CAPABLE

The Sport 3 Drift features a versatile electronic speed controller that can be used with modern lithium-polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please note a LiPo adapter plug is not included, your model shop will be able to provide one.

Fits a Wide Variety of Batteries

The Sport 3 Drift chassis can fit lithium-polymer (LiPo) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) packs of various sizes, including the extra-long 7-cell NiMH packs. Whatever your power requirements, it can hold it all! A thick hook-and-loop strap holds the pack securely in place, and a simple battery block screws into place to allow you to adjust the weight distribution forward or backward for extra steering or acceleration. 

ALL-NEW RADIO GEAR

The Sport 3 is easy to drive with the included All-New 4 Channel 2.4Ghz FHSS TF-51 Transmitter.

Features:

• NEW 4th Channel - 100 position digital slider
• NEW Steering Exponential
• Drop-down steering position for a natural control position
• Foam-covered wheel for extra comfort and grip
• Leftie friendly! Swappable steering wheel design
• Rubber finger and thumb handle grips
• Rubber bumpers on all corners for the highest protection
• Magnetic area for body clips or screws while you work!
• Digital on and off switch
• Audible warnings for low power and idle time!
• Servo Reverse, EPA, Trims and Dual Rate switches.

The NEW RF-51 receiver features a waterproof silicone inner jacket for use in any weather. A built-in failsafe is also a major feature: Signal failsafe for electric vehicles, and signal & battery for the RF-51N on Nitro vehicles! The RF-51 also uses the HPI 4-way LED Adaptor to add headlights and taillights with the built-in LED Light controller!

Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive

The Sport 3 Drift features full-time four-wheel drive to give you the most control and precision on the road or track. All four wheels are driven by heavy-duty gear differentials at the front and rear, just like a real car. The extra traction gives you increased acceleration and cornering control for maximum confidence and fun. 

Sealed Shaft Drivetrain

The drivetrain of all the Sport 3 Drift models features the motor mounted longitudinally in the molded chassis, next to the long driveshaft that goes down the center of the car. The entire drivetrain, including the central driveshaft and gear diffs, is completely sealed to prevent dirt, rocks and debris from damaging or binding the drivetrain. The driveshaft, diffs and axles spin on ball bearings to maximize drivetrain efficiency.

Bottom-Access Driveshaft

The central driveshaft that connects the front and rear differentials is easily accessed from underneath the chassis. This allows the drivetrain to be completely sealed to protect it from rocks and debris no matter where you may want to drive your car. 

Option: Carbon Fiber Driveshaft Cover 

You can easily replace the stock driveshaft cover on the bottom of the chassis with a carbon fiber cover that provides extra stiffness and extra-cool looks.

Easy Access Differentials

Getting to the differentials for quick adjustments is a matter of removing just 4 screws - this allows you to pop out the diff and change the grease, check the gears or just give it a general service. 

4-Gear Metal Diffs

Bevel gear differentials at each end of the car transfer power from the driveshaft to the dogbones and axles that drive each wheel. The all-metal construction allows the drivetrain to withstand powerful brushless motors for easy upgrading in the future. Rubber-sealed ball bearings support the differentials and each diff can be tuned independently by changing the diff grease. 

Option: Diff Spool 

The optional diff spool removes all diff action for direct traction and braking action from your trigger finger straight to the wheels.

Double-Wishbone Fully Adjustable Suspension

The suspension of the Sport 3 Drift 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 center front and rear with the racing-style vertical ballstud mounting on both the inner and outer camber link mounts. Multiple shock mounting positions provide a full range of shock suspension angle adjustments to suit different road conditions.

MULTIPLE SHOCK POSITIONS

Option: Carbon Fiber Shock Towers

The option pair of carbon fiber shock towers not only look amazing but also adds extra stiffness to the suspension for optimal performance. The carbon fiber material is extra-lightweight which lowers the center of gravity on the Sport 3 as well.

Oil-Filled Threaded Shocks

The Sport 3 Drift is fitted with a set of composite coilover-style oil-filled shocks, just like what you'd see on a real race car! The fully adjustable shocks are fully tunable to provide the optimum chassis performance on a wide variety of road surfaces. The ride height is quickly adjustable by using the threaded shock collars. Further tuning adjustments are also possible by changing the springs and shock oil weight.

Option: Anodized Aluminum Threaded Shocks

For optimum performance, you'll want a set of anodized aluminum threaded shocks that are machined to perfection. The full anodized aluminum threaded shock body, aluminum shock collar, aluminum top and bottom caps will allow you to make the most precise tuning adjustments.

Tough Front End Suspension

The Sport 3 Drift front end uses the strong C-hub style suspension seen on the latest RC touring cars, with a vertical ball stud camber mount that lets you change the front end roll center – which is a critical racing adjustment that allows the Sport 3 Drift to be a step above other sport-level RC touring cars. The suspension arm also features multiple shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.

Tunable Rear Suspension

The rear hub is fitted with a vertical ball stud style adjustment that allows easy adjustment of the rear roll center. 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 3 different shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.

Option: CVD Driveshafts

The optional all-in-one CVD drive shafts greatly increases the precision and efficiency of the entire driveline and steering for maximum driving performance. 

Option: Adjustable Camber Link Turnbuckles

The optional set of adjustable turnbuckles will allow you to quickly fine-tune the camber setting of your Sport 3 Drift for optimum performance.

Double Bellcrank Steering

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 allows for Ackermann angle adjustments.

Rugged Spring-Loaded Servo Saver 

The Sport 3 includes an adjustable multipiece cam-style servo saver, which protects the servo from crash damage. In the event of a crash or collision, the front wheels usually take a big portion of the blow and transmit the impact directly to the steering servo. The strong spring-loaded cam action of the servo saver is designed to absorb this force and protect the servo gears from impact!

Aluminum Motor Mount

The cast aluminum cam-style motor mount holds the motor in place for a secure pinion/spur connection. Two screws hold the cam firmly in position on the mount, and cooling fins on the lateral support aid heat dissipation to keep the motor running as efficiently as possible.

Rugged Front Bumper

To protect the front suspension, chassis and body from impacts big and small, an extra thick foam bumper is securely fastened to the front of the Sport 3 Drift. The "Odi" Nissan S15 features a new top mount with new mounts for the Intercooler, which can be seen through the cutout in the front of the shell. 

Customize Your Look

A huge variety of option bodies, wheels and tires from HPI lets you fully customize the style of your Sport 3 to suit your style.

Adjustable Height Body Mounts

The adjustable height body mounts let you fit any 1/10th scale touring car body from HPI Racing onto the 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.

Body Choices

You can fit any 1/10^th scale touring car body from HPI Racing onto the Sport 3, from hot hatches to supercars, pick-up trucks to supertouring racers. All you need to do is adjust the body mounts front and rear to allow the wheels to fit underneath the body properly. A simple system using body pins holds the mounts in place, and you can fine-tune the fit to get the exact ride height you want. 

Comprehensive Instruction Manual

All HPI Racing kits include a detailed multi-language instruction manual. Exploded diagrams and extensive information about your Sport 3 Drift ensure that you have the know-how when it comes to maintaining and upgrading your kit. You can also download a digital version of the manual to your personal electronic device and keep it with you for easy reference on the go.
