Yokomo SO/MO & YZ-870C Offroad Parts release
Yokomo has added number of new parts for some of the buggies in its 1:10 Offroad range. For the SO series 2WD Buggy they hand an LC gearbox made from Graphite-mixed resin. Harder than standard gearbox, it provides increased rigidity of the rear area and on throttle there is less yawing and snagging, allowing for sharper cornering. Also for the SO is a Rear bulk cap and differential height adapter which also made of graphite-mixed resin increases stability around the rear. New SO series rear lower suspension arm feature a modified shape to make it more flexible and the wheelbase has been extended to increase the relative front load and achieve higher cornering speeds. They are available in standard type and graphite molding. For their YZ-870C, the buggy’s large-diameter 2.2-inch wheels are now available in a new white colour, allowing the use of current 2.2-inch size tires while retaining the YZ-870C’s distinctive wheel hubs, making it possible to choose the best tires from a varied lineup for a variety of surfaces. One new optional part for MO2.0 4WD Buggy is a replacement axle for front double-joint universal. Finally Yokomo are offer 5.5mm size rod end balls manufactured from titanium. Reducing weight at the tie rod and upper rod section, they are especially effective in improving steering response and dynamic performance on high-grip surfaces.
