Yokomo have introduced the YD-2S Plus, the latest addition to the popular YD-2 series of drift cars. Based off of the standard YD-2 the 2S Plus will feature a redesigned motor and transmission section with the motor being mounted in a high, rearward facing position for improved traction especially on very slippery surfaces. The chassis is of a new design, taken over from 1/10th buggies, with a carbon fibre main plate and composite side rails, doing away with the common top deck. The construction will result in improved steering control and optimised dynamic weight distribution. The kit will utilise shorty battery packs only and it will hit stores at about mid to end of September.
