Yokomo YZ-2DTM 3.1 2wd EP buggy

The YZ-2DTM, Yokomo’s 2WD off-road buggy specifically for use on dirt, has been upgraded to the 3.1 version and is now available as a more complete package. 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. With the goal of improving stability to cope with the increased speed due to the continuously improving power sources, the chassis has been lengthened, the wheelbase has been changed with the steering hub carrier and the rigidity balance of the front and rear parts has been reviewed to achieve a total balance that leads to improved laptimes. 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.

Yokomo YD-2 ‘Teams’ lightweight Flex chassis set

Team Yokomo’s competition drift brand, Teams, have announced the release of their new light weight flex chassis set for the YD-2 series. The lightweight graphite main chassis plate and special lightweight battery holder provide the right amount of rigidity and traction for a more balanced and controlled feel. While the design is slim and stylish, the weight and rigidity has been carefully balanced with bold cut-outs and milling on the bottom chassis plate. The flex balance not only improves rear traction, but also the load on the front tyre, ensuring better response of the steering. The chassis is also designed to take advantage of the inherent flex of the chassis material, with separate FR/RF suspension mounts to allow for unobstructed flex. The battery holder is also compact and separate, maximising the use of the whole chassis plate and allowing the car to keep constant traction on uneven surfaces and extreme throttle input.

Yokomo BD10F stabiliser set & competition capacitor

Two new items from Yokomo, the first of which is a rear stabiliser set for the new BD10F FWD touring car. Since the rear stabiliser is not standard equipment on the BD10F, this set is effective when you want to improve steering response and improve performance on high-grip road surfaces. Three types of stabiliser bars (1.2, 1.3, 1.4mm) are included. Also new is a capacitor for racing that maximises the performance of your ESC. When the load becomes high due to sudden throttle operation it supplements the electric power and enhances the acceleration. Each cord is attached to the battery ± terminal of ESC, but since it is non-polar, it can be used regardless of which pole it is attached to.

Yokomo YD-2Z teams slide rack set

New from Yokomo is this teams slide rack set that fits the YD-2Z. Since the aluminium slide rack rail has been lightened by changing its shape and milling, it is effective in reducing front traction weight and improving steering response and performance. It can be attached to the conventional YD-2 series, but a bulkhead and upper deck compatible with slide racks is required.
