Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the Tamiya TT-02 entry-level touring car is a drift performance conversion.

Combined with the highly adjustable suspension and steering geometry, owners will be able to tune the performance and behaviour to their liking. Adjustable rear universals have been included so that drovers can also adjust track width. Updated DSG dampers with longer ball cups allow for more droop and the possibility to tune the throw of the chassis when going into the corner. The suspension and steering parts are machined from high-quality aluminium and they come blue anodised and laser-engraved for looks.
