Yokomo YD-2/4 diffusor sets

Coming from Yokomo and made for their YD-2 and YD-4 drift cars are two diffusor sets to further enhance the performance of the cars. First up is the front and undertray diffusor kit that consists of a front and undertray diffusor that will help to achieve improved front end grip using the front aerodynamic help while the undertray diffusor accelerates and guides the air towards the rear end of the chassis for improved overall grip without loosing the ability to precisely drifting the car. The front and undertray diffusor are usable for both the YD-2 and YD-4 kits. Also new is the side diffusor set for the YD-2S series of RWD cars. The side diffusor will greatly improve overall traction and top speed while the smaller gap between the chassis and the body will improve body rigidity and durability. All parts are moulded from impact-resistant composite material for durability and a low weight.

Yokomo YD-2/4 adjustable rear aluminium H-arms

Yokomo have introduced their new adjustable aluminium rear H-arms for the YD-2 and YD-4 series of drift cars. The multi-piece wishbones are slightly shorter than the standard parts for improved drift performance while included shims allow to fine-tune the car’s track width to ensure best possible adaption to various track conditions and driving styles. The sturdy alloy material makes for great precision and an optimised weight distribution with the arms being a direct fit on the YD-2EXII car but they require Y2-301D2 and Y2-301E2 rear alloy arm mounts as well as B8-301BS bushings for installation in all other YD-2 and YD-4 kits.
