Yokomo SD/RD2.0 Drift Car Alu Parts

Yokomo has announced the release of a number of new aluminium parts for its SD/RD2.0 1:10 Drift cars.  First up is an aluminium front bulkhead bridge for RD2.0 and SD2.0 which increases the rigidity of the front area.  This improves the stability of the front section when diving into and coming out of corners, and increases the freedom of the driving line.  The shoulder section has been significantly thinned out for a lightweight finish.  For the RD2.0 there is a new aluminium mounting adapter that holds the lower rear shock.  By increasing the rigidity of the shock mounting, it improves  operating precision and increases road-following performance against minor vibrations. It is also heavier than the standard plastic one, which tends to increase the unsprung load and traction.  Also new for the RD2.0 is an Aluminium suspension mount.  Shaped to fit the RD2.0 suspension mount, which has a rearward gearbox position, this mount increases suspension rigidity for reliable operation and improved traction.  The width of the suspension mount is a D width that can be set in the same range as the RD2.0 standard, which makes it easy to achieve a slightly narrower profile.  Fine adjustment is possible by replacing the bushings.
