Racing Performer DX2 Type-R Brushless Motor

New from Yokomo’s Racing Performer electrics line comes a new second generation of its popular DX series brushless drifting motors. The colourful anodised DX2 series is a high-revving Type-R specification available in four colours (blue, purple, red and black) and three different gear ratios from 11.5T to 15.5T. The 11.5T DX2 prototype was used by Team Yokomo’s KAI to win the world-class WTDC drifting event in Malaysia last year, and its performance is already well documented. The slightly softer 13.5T is easy to use on P-tile surfaces and the more torquey 15.5T has a different rotor size to complete the power feel.

Yokomo RS2.0 Optional Servo and Suspension Mounts

Yokomo has released two new option parts for their entry level Rookie Speed 1:10 Electric Touring car in the form of an Aluminium/Graphite servo mount and an Aluminium suspension mount set. The servo mount is a hybrid structure that enhances the steering response of the RS2.0. The stay connecting it to the chassis is made of aluminium, and a lightweight graphite plate is used on the upper side of the chassis to prevent excessive changes in the centre of gravity. The servo itself is firmly fixed to the chassis to increase steering response and improve line tracing accuracy in corners. The aluminium rear suspension mount, which also fits the previous RS1.0. is basically designed to have the same width as the standard one, but the rear rear suspension toe angle can be changed by interchanging the two types of bushings. The kit standard (3 degree) bushing is the centre bushing, and by swapping the orientation of the offset bushing, the toe angle can be selected between 2.5 and 3.5 degrees.

Racing Performer 740 DC Charger

Yokomo through its Racing Performer electrics product line introduces the 740 DC Charger. This DC charger/discharger is compatible with a wide range of batteries, including Li-Po/Li-Fe batteries, and is ideal for racing use. It has two charging ports, each capable of 400W output. In addition, an ultra-fast charge of 800W is possible using the parallel charge function. The colour LCD panel is easy to read and operate, and the easy-to-understand interface makes it simple to use.

Yokomo RS Solid Axle Kit

Yokomo is giving owners of their entry level Rookie Speed 1:10 Electric Touring cars the option of this Solid Axle Kit. Lighter than a standard geared differential, it eliminates unnecessary differential operation, resulting in a more stable ride. It is particularly effective on high grip surfaces such as carpet, providing greater stability on corner exits and reducing spin on acceleration for faster exit speeds. The loss of differential operation puts a strain on the driveline due to the difference between the inside wheels when cornering, but the use of a double-jointed universal in conjunction with a double-jointed universal minimises the loss of power and allows smooth turning. Sets with or without double-joint universals are available.

Yokomo MD2.0 Champion Edition

Team Yokomo is releasing the kit of drift team driver Kai Ito who won the World Championship at the world-class drifting event “WTDC” held in Malaysia. The base machine is the MD2.0, which has a front-rear balance that emphasises steering maneuverability while taking advantage of its high rear traction. The front lower arm is also made of resin instead of graphite with a ball pivot, which improves handling and response. Because the suspension structure provides sufficient rear grip, the motor is purposely set in a low position to obtain agile motor performance. By eliminating the sluggishness often associated with high-mounted motors, the motor’s combativeness in pursuit scenes is enhanced.

Yokomo SO 30mm fan shrouds

Yokomo is releasing a 30mm fan shrouds for their SO3.0 and SO2.0 1:10 2WD Buggies. The 30mm fan shroud is attached to the cooling fan to increase the cooling effect of the motor. The motor duct shape has been optimised and will greatly contribute to maintaining motor performance and efficiency in the coming warmer season. A 30mm cooling fan is attached to the chassis via the Z2-CFM aluminium cooling fan stay and secured using the upper hole of the fan – the cooling fan/aluminium fan stay are sold separately.

Yokomo SO Series Alu Rear Hubs

Yokomo is releasing new aluminium rear hub carriers for their SO series of 1:10 2WD offroad buggy. Compared to the standard plastic rear hub carrier, the aluminium rear hub carrier is much stiffer, resulting in greater driving stability. They provides a greater sense of stability during jump landings and cornering. As with the standard version, height inserts are fitted to accommodate changes in roll centre and slip angle.

Yokomo updated BL-RPX3 & BL-RPXS Speedos

Yokomo has updated both its BL-RPX3 & BL-RPXS brushless speed controllers with the release of V2 versions. While maintaining the powerful output and boost/turbo functions of the previous versions, the power feeling settings and braking have been greatly improved. Specifically, the compress, which determines throttle feel, can now be adjusted to the minus side as well, whereas before it could only be adjusted to the plus side. In addition, the addition of a party mode allows the throttle opening range corresponding to the compressor to be limited. In order to improve the response and strength of the brakes, powerful braking at high speeds is now possible.
