RE-DRB 4-Sale. Tsunami & Samurai Spec - Sold!


Looking for new homes. These two are quality builds. Great spec for a step up to a high spec drift chassis.



These two machines are very similar. But the blue machine has a slight advantage. Or does it?

Stock Yokomo DRBs were originally sold in limited red and original blue for 65400 yen in Japan when new.

then by the time you added all the Alloy options and CS gearsets you were well over 80000 yen. Add more brands and the sky was the limit.


These are both premium drift chassis including...

Front-mid engine layout with low spur position suitable for low body mounting.

Alloy bulkheads
Alloy steering components
Alloy motor mount and spur holder
Alloy shock absorbers
Alloy Servo mounts
Alloy center pulleys
Front one-way
Full ball bearings
CVD drive shafts **
Wheel Clamp Hex
Titanium turnbuckles.


TSUNAMI BLUE Spec includes the following upgrades

Yokomo alloy front bumper weight 
Yokomo rear belt stabilizer pulley
Yokomo 1.5FCD rear drive gear and belt set 
Yokomo 1.8FCD rear drive gear and belt set (not fitted)
Yokomo Titanium screw set

Team Suzuki alloy front suspension arms.
Team Suzuki alloy rear suspension arms.
Yokomo rear toe block 3.0
**Overdose front 45.5mm CVD and extended axles.
Overdose front KPI Ball bearing 8-8 C-Hubs and knuckles
Kazama adjustable rear hub
RC926 30mm springs
64P spur and pinion
replacement foam Bumper.
Blue Alloy wheel nuts.
Original Long Lipo holder and Short lipo holder 



All upgrades and current setting is well thought out. Team Suzuki, RC926, Kazama and Overdose all feature on this machine.



The high traction chassis is a little more flexible than the stock SSG and also has a cut out for the spur and elements for engine cooling.

Underneath is unmarked. the added weight of the alloy suspension components is all good for extended slides and solid traction.


I'm selling the TSUNAMI BLUE DRB for $600AUD. A very reasonable price. More here.


This RED SAMURAI Spec chassis includes all Yokomo upgrades.

Yokomo alloy front bumper weight 
Yokomo rear belt stabilizer pulley
Yokomo 1.3FCD rear drive gear and belt set
Yokomo Titanium screw set

Team Suzuki alloy front suspension arms.
Team Suzuki alloy rear suspension arms.

Overdose Servo Saver (tamiya)
Active hobby Antenna post
Red Alloy body posts
Red Alloy wheel nuts
Short lipo holder only.... (Long lipo holder can be sourced)
RC926 30mm springs
48P spur
Original foam Bumper.


Upper deck is original DRB modified for stabilizer. lower deck has battery marks and ESC position has residue.


Rear of lower deck is lightly grazed at the rear. Lower Shock mounts are Tamiya push on ball style.


RC Square linked body pins. No spur holder. Bolts only.

I'm selling the SAMURAI RED DRB for $550AUD. A very reasonable price.



Tsunami and Samurai chassis are a very solid base. I've owned an SSG and HT with overdose in blue almost identical spec.  Personally I prefer the rigid SSG for accuracy of suspension tuning, but both are very effective.

They are awesome!


I currently have 5 DRB chassis (yes there is a mirror in this shot) all are different specs and I enjoy them all. but these 2 have to go. I can absolutely recommend the DRB for a top level drift chassis. Even though the DIB has replaced the DRB. It really is no comparison. The DIB doesn't respond to suspension tune like the DRB does.  If you are looking for a full tune drift chassis. One of these is actually a cheap solution.

SAMURAI RED Yokomo Full Option DRB SSG for $550AUD
TSUNAMI BLUE Yokomo Full Option DRB SSG HT + Overdose for $600AUD

+ Shipping.
