Yokomo SO2.0 Dirt Edition 2WD Buggy

Yokomo has released a new ‘Dirt Edition’ of its SO2.0 1:10 2WD Buggy. Sharing the same fundamental components as the standard SO2.0 which as launched this time last year, the ‘Dirt Edition’ edition has been optimised for dirt surfaces with several key modifications.  The rear suspension arms have been shortened and equipped with dirt-specific springs, allowing the vehicle to better adapt to uneven and loose dirt surfaces.  For enhanced rear traction the buggy features a hard graphite-molded gearbox coupled with a ball differential. This setup is specifically designed to increase rear traction, ensuring stability and control even in challenging dirt conditions.  The hard graphite gearbox not only boosts rear traction but also contributes to the overall balance of the vehicle.  By adjusting the chassis weight distribution, the Dirt Edition achieves a perfect blend of cornering precision and acceleration performance.  Other changes over the standard SO2.0 include a ball differential that is now included as standard equipment for improved traction and control.  The Dirt Edition comes with newly developed springs specially designed springs tailored for dirt track conditions.  Included in the kit is JConcept F2 Body plus a 7-inch Astro High Clearance Wing providing improved downforce and stability. Combined these updates make the SO2.0 Dirt Edition uniquely suited for dirt track racing.
