From T-Works for the Yokomo BD10, is this 6mm bearing wheel hub axle set. Available in standard and +1mm offset they help improve traction by joining the wheel hub directly to the wheel axle. This setup requires a smaller bearing on the outside on the wheel hub to accommodate the new axle. The set includes the hubs, spacers, bearings and all parts to convert two axles.

Yokomo have introduced this limited edition servo called the SP-03D that has been specially tuned for RWD drifting. The full aluminium case, which has both great heat dissipation and rigidity, features a brushless motor for great steering response, speed, and torque. The servo’s parameters can be adjusted using a dedicated program card to your personal liking with custom tuning including anti-shake level adjustment.
A number of new items from Yokomo starting with this set of light parts and wings that fits the Pandem 90 body. The weight increase of the body is minimised by making it made of lightweight polycarbonate while firmly reproducing the fine details. It comes with headlight and taillight brackets and a 4-split rear wing, and is a relatively easy to mount material and of course can be painted to match your car’s scheme.
OfficinaRC has created a new line of titanium ball studs. These new versions expand the current range by also working with Xray and Yokomo models and all other brands that use 4.9mm and 4.2mm studs. The 4.9mm line comes in 4mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm while the 4.2mm version comes in just 4mm. Machined from billet 6Al-4V Titanium with a 2mm Allen head on top of the ball, the titanium used is of the highest quality and is practically indestructible. Thanks to the quality of the material used, strength is also increased, while have a weight saving of 42% over the standard parts.

Two new items from Yokomo, the first of which is a rear stabiliser set for the new BD10F FWD touring car. Since the rear stabiliser is not standard equipment on the BD10F, this set is effective when you want to improve steering response and improve performance on high-grip road surfaces. Three types of stabiliser bars (1.2, 1.3, 1.4mm) are included. Also new is a capacitor for racing that maximises the performance of your ESC. When the load becomes high due to sudden throttle operation it supplements the electric power and enhances the acceleration. Each cord is attached to the battery ± terminal of ESC, but since it is non-polar, it can be used regardless of which pole it is attached to.

New from Yokomo is this teams slide rack set that fits the YD-2Z. Since the aluminium slide rack rail has been lightened by changing its shape and milling, it is effective in reducing front traction weight and improving steering response and performance. It can be attached to the conventional YD-2 series, but a bulkhead and upper deck compatible with slide racks is required.

Yokomo announce a further upgrade of the pre-assembled RWD drift car YD-2AC, which is ideal for beginners. They will now deliver a special package equipped with the digital brushless steering servo SP-02DV2, which is highly evaluated by advanced users. The SP-02DV2 is a drift-only model equipped with a ‘hunting suppression function’ that reduces malfunctions of the gyro, which often becomes an obstacle during drift driving. And the brushless system is combined with the BL-SP4 speed controller with various programming functions and the latest ZERO-S 13.5T drift motor. Since the chassis is a super standard model YD-2E of RWD drift, you can enjoy sufficient performance with the same specifications and customise with various optional parts.
Yokomo have introduced their new BD10F competition FWD touring car, which utilises the components from their BD10 touring car and realises the optimum weight distribution for FWD drive. The bulkhead and suspension arm are the same as the BD10LC, but it is a pure competition FWD touring car that has been converted to FWD by changing the main chassis and motor mount. The dedicated weights on the front and the position of the motor near the front ensure the traction required when accelerating. They have managed to eliminate the excessive steering response due to the weight increase, by changing the Ackerman ratio with the long bell crank. At the rear, in addition to the Axon shock that has a reputation for smooth operation, a mass damper that is simple but has a high effect of canceling vibration is adopted, and the rear grip is increased to prevent stall when cornering. Of course, there are some optional parts for BD10 that have been released so far that can be shared, and running costs can be reduced, including the sharing of consumable parts.
