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.

Yokomo updated BL-RPX3 & BL-RPXS Speedos

Yokomo has updated both its BL-RPX3 & BL-RPXS brushless speed controllers with the release of V2 versions. While maintaining the powerful output and boost/turbo functions of the previous versions, the power feeling settings and braking have been greatly improved. Specifically, the compress, which determines throttle feel, can now be adjusted to the minus side as well, whereas before it could only be adjusted to the plus side. In addition, the addition of a party mode allows the throttle opening range corresponding to the compressor to be limited. In order to improve the response and strength of the brakes, powerful braking at high speeds is now possible.

Yokomo RD2.0 Aluminium Steering Bell Crank Set

Yokomo has introduced a new Aluminium Steering Bell Crank Set and Steel Front Axle for double bearing for its RD2.0 1:10 Drift Car. The aluminium steering bell crank set has a forward tilt angle on the wiper post to reduce bump changes when the angle of cut is applied, and shows neutral characteristics. The length of the servo rod attachment can be adjusted with a spacer, so the feeling can be changed by the lever ratio with servo activation. The front axle used in the double bearing design for ultimate rolling of the front tire is sold separately. Although made of steel for increased strength, the 3mm shaft and hub shape make it lightweight.

Yokomo MS1.0 Aluminum Rear Upper Bulkhead

New from Yokomo for their competition spec 1:10 Electric Touring Car is this MS1.0 Aluminium Rear Upper Bulkhead. Castor of the new upper arm is set at 2 degrees, reduced from the kit’s standard 4 degrees, to improve rear turning performance in corners. In high-grip surfaces, the timing for corner exit is quicker resulting in greater on power traction. In addition, the aluminium shock mounts, which were previously mounted on graphite shock towers can now be mounted directly to the bulkhead.
