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.
