Yokomo YD-2/4 front lower short A-arm

Yokomo have announced the soon release of new short front A-arms for the YD-2 and YD-4 series of drift cars.

In addition the mounting position of the shock absorbers is adjustable using shims for near endless set-up possibilities. The complete set, and also optional 27mm and 30mm lower rod end adapters, will hit stores from end of May.

Fenix introduce new Pro10 diffs & silicone fluids

Fenix have introduced a new Pro10 gear differential specifically designed for the popular VIP Performance VTE kit, a prototype ball differential as well as a range of silicone fluids. Starting with the VIP gear diff, the assembly uses a 7mm titanium axle and a new diff housing that allows for proper 235mm specifications. Included in the kit comes a clamping diff hub with M3 and 4-40 unc threads that allows to use either of the two. As for the prototype ball differential, it builds on a 1/4 inch titanium axle for durability and precision, it utilises 16 1/8 inch diff balls for smoothness and like the above gear diff, it will make use of the double thread clamping hub. Last but not least comes Fenix’s new silicone fluid range that covers everything from shock to touring diff up to gear diff silicone oils. The 100 percent pure silicone oils are made in Europe and they come in convenient snap cap bottles.
