Yokomo FWD Type-A touring car body

This new clear lexan FWD Type-A touring car body from Yokomo meets the regulations of the 1/10 size FWD touring car category held around the world. Wide body fenders create an aggressive appearance, and the short wheelbase and front nose make for a light and nimble feeling. A large rear wing is also included to ensure maximum rear traction and prevent the car from losing cornering speed, resulting in better lap times.

Yokomo BD10F front balance weights

Yokomo have released this front balance weight to improve traction of the BD10F. The weight can be increased by 40g on each side for a total of 80g, reducing wheel spin that tends to occur during acceleration. This will improve acceleration out of corners and improve your lap times. By using only one screw to fix the weight to the chassis, the effect on chassis rigidity is minimised.

Yokomo BL-EP6P budget brushless speed controller

Yokomo have released the BL-EP6P, a brushless speed controller that is compatible with onroad, offroad and drift categories, comes with a programmer and is reasonably priced. In addition to Yokomo’s sensor type brushless motors, it can also drive general purpose sensorless motors. It is recommended for beginners and intermediates, but can also be used for a long time after your driving skills have improved, as the output characteristics can be adjusted by changing the program, and it has the performance to cover all the motors in the stock category. The included programmer is easy to understand with its one-button operation. By simply pressing and holding the buttons, you can easily make settings while watching the LEDs light up. The settings are also simple, making it easy to use even for first-time users of brushless motors.

Yokomo transmitter bag

Yokomo’s transmitter bag has received a refresh with the design changed to include the Racing Factory logo. The bag sports cushioning to protect your precious radio from bumps when traveling to the RC circuit. The design language of the bag is the same as that of the recently released pit bag, and so when combined they look great together. The interior and exterior is made of tear-resistant nylon, with shock-absorbing material inserted on all sides to shut out external shocks. The interior is a simple single compartment with one inner pocket, but it has a large capacity with room for a large transmitter. It can also hold peripherals such as chargers and spare parts giving the bag multiple uses.

Yokomo YZ-2CAL 3.1 2wd offroad buggy

The Yokomo YZ-2CAL 2wd offroad buggy specialised for use on carpet and astro turf surfaces, has been upgraded to the 3.1 version. Even though it is an upgrade, it is no longer an exaggeration to say that it is a new machine with newly designed parts throughout the chassis. The chassis has been lengthened, the wheelbase has been changed on the steering hub carrier, and the rigidity of the front and rear parts has been rebalanced to achieve a total balance that will lead to improved times. The suspension has also been upgraded to the latest configuration with 3mm shock shafts for a more responsive suspension, and is now fully prepared for the 2022 season.
