Yokomo YD-2 brake discs and callipers set

Yokomo have released this new brake discs and callipers set for the YD-2. The brake discs themselves will include an integrated hexagonal hub to be able to mount the wheels and there will be 3 hub thickness, 5.5mm, 6.5mm and 8.0mm which will are all included so that you can adjust the track width and scrub radius freely. The brake callipers, which can be mounted to new front and rear knuckles, are gunmetal colour to better represent the realistic look and finish of a real car. The set comes with new plastic steering knuckles and rear hub carriers in order to be able to install the callipers, which will be shaped to match our latest spec settings. The new steering knuckles are set for the optimum trail and kingpin angle which where referenced from the dynamics of a real drift car so steering response is improved while increasing the looks while counter steering. The steering stopper and tie rod mounting positions are also updated to the latest specifications, and the operation when increasing the steering angle also becomes smoother. The rear hub carriers are designed with new upper arm attachment positions and this new positioning allows an increase in the range of setting the roll centre and the camber change to the rear, making it possible to positively utilise the roll especially when at a low grip surface such as P tile. By keeping more of the contact area when the chassis rolls by raising the upper arm attachment position this will ensure more stable grip in the lateral direction, for more aggressive drifting.
