Yokomo YD-4MR mid-motor AWD drift car kit

Coming soon from Yokomo is the new YD-4MR mid-motor all-wheel drive drift car kit. Building on the proven YD-4 the MR kit features a mid-motor layout to add another weight bias variant which can be beneficial on a variety of track layouts and with different driving styles. The mid-motor gives different weight transfer characteristics while keeping a low centre of gravity design that improves the high speed snap/transition on high-grip surfaces such as carpet in contrast to the standard layout of the YD-4 which has excellent stability and high traction as standard. Designed for competition drifters the kit incorporates high-quality carbon fibre parts such as the chassis, upper deck and shock towers. The YD-4MR will be available as a full kit or as an optional upgrade package for existing YD-4 owners.
