Yokomo MS2.0 Aluminum Chassis Touring Car Kit

Following the launch of their latest 1:10 Electric Touring Car. the MS2.0, in August, Yokomo has announced an Aluminium Chassis kit, aluminium chassis specification perfect for the indoor season which is just beginning. Its low centre of gravity makes it easier to handle high-grip surfaces such as carpet, but also is appropriate for medium to high grip asphalt enabling higher cornering speeds. The 1.5 mm thick aluminium main chassis lowers the centre of gravity and weight vs 2.0mm designs, while allowing more chassis flex providing more traction and a wider setup window. Screw fastening from the underside has traditionally been challenging with thin chassis, but the MS2.0 uses dedicated high-precision screws for precise machine building.
