Yokomo RS Touring Car Series Option Parts

Yokomo has released a new optional Alu Heat Sink Motor Plate, Alu Lower Bulkheads, and a Sway bar set for their entry level Rookie Speed 1:10 Electric Touring car. For the RS2.0, the aluminium heat sink Motor Plate is shaped like a heat sink and improves the cooling eﬀect of the motor. It suppresses heat leakage of the motor during driving and improves power efficiency. Suitable for both the RS1.0 & 2.0, the aluminium lower bulkhead is offered in anodised blue, the optional image colour of the RS series and can be combined with the optional sway bars. The Sway bar set comes with three different bars, front and rear, each with ball bearing support for smooth operation and increased stabilising effect on the car.

Yokomo Folding Cushion

While most manufacturers focus on optimising their cars with new parts and accessories, Yokomo is giving driver welfare some attention with a Folding Cushion as part its latest products release. Along with two new ride height gauges, they introduce the foldable chair cushion which is made from a lightly lumbar urethane cushioning material and is approximately 24mm thick. Ideal for days at the track, it reduces fatigue and keeps you warm in winter. Measuring 37.5 x 31.5 x 25cm, it folds into four pieces for easy storage and is printed with the Yokomo Racing Factory logo for added style. The Japanese company’s new long reach offroad ride height gauge makes it easy to measure the inside of the chassis, which is diﬃcult to measure with ordinary gauges. The wide measuring range of 3mm to 42mm makes it suitable for all types of vehicles. The 3-7.5mm touring car gauge offers detailed measurements and the front and back can be used separately to measure in 0.1mm increments. The engraving is large and easy to read, allowing quick readings even during busy race intervals.

Yokomo RD/SD Option Parts | Spring case

Yokomo has released new option parts for their 1:10 drift cars that includes an aluminium Rear Hub Carrier for RD2.0/SD3.0, an Aluminium Upper Arm Mount for RD/SD series, and a Universal 30mm Fan Shroud plus a Yokomo Multi Spring Carry Case. The alu rear hub carrier is more rigid than the standard plastic one, and improves rer traction and slide control. Featuring five upper arm fixing positions, it allows for more precise adjustment of camber change due to suspension stroke. The lower suspension arm pins can also be selected from three diﬀerent positions, allowing the roll balance to be adjusted by changing the roll center, and the degree of traction to be controlled. It is available in black, blue, purple, and red to match the SD series. The new alu upper arm mount increases upper arm mounting rigidity and front tyre tracing. It’s anodised aluminium colour makes it suitable for SD3.0 blue version. Universal 30mm fan shroud increases cooling eﬃciency through the channel eﬀect. It is mounted on an adjustable angle bracket and can be installed on a variety of machines. It is particularly suitable for drift cars that require motor cooling and can be attached to the upper deck or bulkhead with double-sided tape. Finally the Yokomo Racing Factory branded Multi spring case allows you to neatly store shock springs, which tend to be cumbersome. The lower section is designed to hold springs for a variety of spring types, from speed to oﬀ-road, and the upper section can hold springs in their bagged state.

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.

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.
