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.

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.
