OVERVIEW Features: Weight Distribution Steering Drivetrain Suspension Tune and Upgrade to Your Specifics The R31RS requires the following for operation: - 2-channel Radio System Item# OTA-R31RS
Street Jam's latest 1/10-scale RC drift machine is the OTA-R31RS. With a front-mid motor layout and 3-belt drive system, the R31RS is ready to slide, with a drift-specific design (not just a converted touring car platform with drift tires!) and an extensive feature list that all competitive drifters can build upon.
Positioning the motor and battery pack in line with the chassis allows for a near perfect side-to-side weight distribution. With the motor positioned behind the front differential, handling and suspension tuning is more consistent since the bulk of the weight is sitting in between the four wheels. The forward mounting still gives the R31RS a forward weight bias needed for high-speed, high powered drifting, without overloading the front end for a more consistent drift, regardless of if you're running 50/50 or a counter-steer setup.
The R31RS features an extended steering angle that is required for drifting, thanks to the design of the front arms, blocks, and hub carriers. Caster and Ackermann are adjustable, as is the usual camber and toe-angle found in all performance-spec chassis.
The inline belt drive system sends power and braking force parallel to the R31RS chassis. This means there is no uneven torque steer that is inherent on center shaft-driven competitors. Easily accessible drive pulleys give the driver the option of running 50/50 (even power to the front and rear wheels) or 'CS' counter-steer style simply by changing the pulley sizes to over drive the rear wheels. The spur gear can be quickly changed for ratio tuning without any extra disassembly. The spur gear mount is compatible with any standard 48-pitch or 64-pitch spur gears.
The base of the R31RS's suspension components center around the four coil over shocks. Each shock features upgraded aluminum alloy shock bodies that are threaded for quick pre-load adjustment. Their oil-filled design is competition spec, as is the multiple shock mounting points on the front and rear shock towers. Camber and front toe is adjustable via standard turnbuckle links.
Because the R31RS is based on Street Jam's successful and widely popular R31 platform, there are already hundreds of upgradeable options available. These options include (but are not limited to) carbon fiber double-deck chassis, carbon fiber shock towers, aluminum alloy bulkheads and chassis components, aluminum alloy steering linkage, aluminum alloy hubs and blocks, titanium complete chassis screw sets, and more. Also, you can tune the R31RS even more with Street Jams numerous tuning parts, such as different spring sets, caster and toe blocks, suspension mounts, and more. The R31RS is also concourse-friendly, with the option to change to a shorter or longer wheelbase to fit the scale body of your choice.

Installation Notes
Integy products are designed for experienced RC enthusiasts. Unless included with the product itself, most of our products do not include instructions. The purchaser is responsible for any product assembly/disassembly, any set-up and adjustment, and periodic maintenance. If you need help disassembling your stock vehicle, you will need to refer to the instruction manual/exploded parts view of your particular vehicle, as provided by the manufacturer of your vehicle. If you are unable to assemble and/or install a product, please consult your local Integy dealer for assistance.
All products will require some prep out of the package. Some items (shocks, gearboxes, axles, etc.) are assembled for packaging purposes only, and may require standard prep before installation and usage, such as shimming for proper alignment, checking tightness of all components and fasteners, installing your own shock oil, anti-seize, or grease. Please be sure to apply threadlock on all metal-to-metal interfaces prior to installation; do not just install the item out of the package and assume they have been prepped correctly. Check, adjust, and set/reset all new items when taken out of the package.
Wheel and tire sets may be sold partially assembled for packaging purposes only, and require standard wheel/tire prep before installation and usage. All wheels and tires require CA glue (if press-fit style) or separate assembly (if beadlock style) before being used. Wheels and tires are not always pre-glued from the factory (unless specified in the product name or description).
Unless specified, not all products include hardware; if new or different-sized hardware and/or fasteners are included with the upgrade kit, those are meant to replace the factory hardware. Extra hardware, shims, or spacers may be required for some installations. Some parts may require permanent modification to the vehicle for fitment, and may eliminate certain OEM features. Some items may require modification to the vehicle for proper clearance.
Due to factory supply delays beyond our control, certain products may ship with hardware (screws, washers, etc.) that is different from what is originally shown in the website product photos. Any alternates will be compatible hardware that will not affect the functionality of the product.
Certain Integy-branded items replacing OEM parts may not be compatible with another Integy-branded items due to design language.
Colors shown in product photos are as close to possible to the actual item; color matching between parts is not guaranteed. Parts are for specified usage only. We do not guarantee product compatibility with other aftermarket branded products.
hard to find upgrades in aluminum parts
This is a great product only problem is it is hard to find a lot of upgrades especially aluminum ones! The main pulley shaft assembley is the weak point on the entire car due to the small holes on the rod, my go to drifter though!
