On track it provides the car with a feeling of more rear traction and improved driveability. The final option are Brass LiPo hooks for the Mi8, Mi9 and FT9. Weight a total of 36-grams it keeps a low centre of gravity and aids finding the perfect balance, especially when using Shorty LiPo’s.

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.

MXLR New Formulation V2 Oils

Germany’s MXLR has released a new V2 formulation of its Ball Bearing oil and its Driveshaft & Gears oil. The newly refined Ball Bearing oil was developed once again in close collaboration with a specialised German manufacturer and is further optimised to reduce rolling resistance even more efficiently and ensure a freer drivetrain with reduced power loss. The new light-blue coloring helps easily distinguish it from the original version and makes application more visible. Ultra-thin consistency means just 1–2 drops are enough to penetrate sealed bearings and deliver long-lasting performance and protection. The new V2 Driveshaft & Gears oil offers improved wear protection, stronger adhesion, and still maintains exceptional freedom of movement. Even under high RPM, the oil continues to lubricate critical components reliably. As before, both oils come in 10ml bottles with precise metal tip to ensure clean and effortless application.

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.
