The Stage-D10 features \u003cstrong\u003ehex adaptor brake discs front and rear that rotate with the wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The scale brake calipers also have adjustment built in for fine-tuning their position depending on your wheel setup, or you can remove them completely!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut there's a clever twist!

A wiring guide across the top of the shock tower keeps your ESC wiring exactly where it needs to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanning to experiment with a rear motor configuration? The ESC can be moved forward of the rear shock tower and mounted on the \u003cstrong\u003erear top plate\u003c\/strong\u003e, freeing up the space needed to explore different motor and gearbox positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA diffuser element designed to smooth airflow under the car for improved aero efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Start experimenting with \u003cstrong\u003ecamber, toe, track width and suspension geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e, then dig deeper into battery placement, Ackermann, servo position and the huge range of motor and gearbox configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can get straight into the setup and start making the Stage-D10 your own, with many of the tuning options built into the standard chassis and no need for a long list of option parts. \u003cstrong\u003eUnless, of course, you want to!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stage-D10 front suspension gives you plenty of control over how the front end reacts through a drift. \u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable camber links, steering links, multiple roll centre and camber gain positions\u003c\/strong\u003e allow you to fine-tune the geometry, while the threaded oil-filled coilover shocks make ride height and spring preload changes quick and easy. There are Machanical stops included in the spare parts bag if you really want to take to extremes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable toe block options give you further control over the front suspension setup, with \u003cstrong\u003e1mm or 2mm wheel hex spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e providing a quick way to fine-tune the track width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFULLY ADJUSTABLE ACKERMANN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteering setup is a huge part of getting a RWD drift chassis to behave exactly how you want, so the Stage-D10 gives you plenty of room to experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAckermann geometry can be adjusted forward and backward, as well as up and down\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing you to change the steering geometry and tune how the front wheels work together through different steering angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFULLY ADJUSTABLE FRONT SUSPENSION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stage-D10 front suspension gives you plenty of control over how the front end reacts through a drift. \u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable camber links, steering links, multiple roll centre and camber gain positions\u003c\/strong\u003e allow you to fine-tune the geometry, while the threaded oil-filled coilover shocks make ride height and spring preload changes quick and easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable toe block options give you further control over the front suspension setup, with \u003cstrong\u003e1mm or 2mm wheel hex spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e providing a quick way to fine-tune the track width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are also mounting points ready for an \u003cstrong\u003eoptional front sway bar\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you another tuning option as you dig deeper into the Stage-D10 setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTUNE THE REAR FOR YOUR DRIVING STYLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the rear, the focus moves to finding the balance and traction that suits your driving style. \u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable camber links, toe block options and multiple roll centre and camber gain positions\u003c\/strong\u003e give you plenty to work with, backed up by the same threaded oil-filled coilover shocks but with a slight longer +2mm ball link and stiffer spring than the front. \u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the car are optional pistons and shock ball link lengths for the shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear suspension also works around one of the Stage-D10's biggest tuning features. With the \u003cstrong\u003egearbox and motor position able to move through a huge range of locations\u003c\/strong\u003e, plus mid or rear battery placement, you can make significant changes to rear weight distribution and then use the suspension geometry to fine-tune the resulting chassis behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting points for an \u003cstrong\u003eoptional rear sway bar\u003c\/strong\u003e are already built into the chassis, giving experienced tuners another option for controlling rear roll and response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal-Shielded Ball Bearings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stage-D10 is fully fitted with a set of metal-shielded ball bearings for maximum efficiency.

Powerful \u003cstrong\u003eN52-grade magnets\u003c\/strong\u003e and 10mm steel balls hold the body securely in place without putting mounting holes through the top of the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e3x10mm N52 magnets\u003c\/strong\u003e are held in a composite surround designed to locate perfectly over the 10mm steel ball. This makes lining up and fitting the body super easy, while giving the magnet extra support for those inevitable barrier bumps and door taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGot an older or aftermarket shell with body holes already in place? No worries! We've also included a \u003cstrong\u003econical screw-lock system with scale Aerocatch detailing\u003c\/strong\u003e to secure the magnets through existing body holes. Instead of an unwanted hole, you get a neat scale detail inspired by the hardware found on full-size cars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth of these systems will be available in a universal magnet mount set! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer traditional body posts, or planning to fit another shell? We've included those too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chassis has multiple conventional body mounting positions, with different post options to suit a wide range of bodyshells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd a Set of Custom Wheels \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext, you'll want to choose the right wheel and tire combination – and HPI Racing has a huge selection to choose from!
