Yokomo RS1.0 Short Shock Conversion Kit

Yokomo has released a new Short Shock Conversion Kit to further enhance the performance of their RookieSpeed RS1.0 entry level 1:10 Electric Touring Car to racing specifications.  This set of carbon shock towers and aluminium short shocks delivers a precise ride with minimal body roll.  The shock length has been shortened by more than 7mm to achieve an impressively low centre of gravity.  The hard-coated aluminium cylinders operate smoothly and provide a supple suspension that grips the road surface effectively.  The latest competition springs can also be used for the shock springs, allowing for a much wider range of settings.  The front and rear shock towers, made of carbon and specially designed for short shocks, reduce weight and increase rigidity for sharper response.

Yokomo MS1.0 Alu rear body post mounts | Shock Pistons

Yokomo has released more new optional parts for its MS1.0 1:10 Electric Touring Car with the release of aluminium rear body post mounts and thicker to 2.9mm shock pistons.   The aluminium rear body post mount for the MS1.0 converts the standard rearward post into a vertical one.  This design improves stability and performance and is an alternative for mounting bodies with long rear overhangs, scale bodies, and more, giving you greater versatility and control over your vehicle’s setup.  With the new pistons by increasing its thickness to 2.9mm and expanding the area where flow velocity increases, a firmer damping can be achieved.  This adjustment proves particularly effective in high temperature tracks, where heat causes oil to thin out.  The new pistons ensure consistent performance under varying conditions.

Yokomo MD1.0 LTS (Load Transfer Special) Drift Kit

In its latest Drift car development, Yokomo has released the MD1.0 LTS (Load Transfer Special).  This high-end chassis replicates the movement of a real car, characterised by its weighty load transfer and chunky suspension with sinking and stretching legs.  Building on the MD1.0 configuration, the LTS features a high-mounted battery that strategically adjusts the centre of gravity to produce body roll, allowing the car to navigate corners with the realism of a true vehicle. The front and rear boast specially designed, supple, multiple-wound springs exclusive to the LTS, enhancing the roll and providing a pronounced sense of weight through effective rebound utilisation.  At the front, an aluminium steering block with high-mounted upper arms minimises excessive nose dive, a common issue in rolling machines. This setup offers a balanced reduction in understeer and improved controllability.  Additionally, the adjustable kingpin angle allows for realistic camber changes during steering, making low-angle video shooting even more captivating.

Yokomo RD2.0 Graphite Chassis & Top Deck

Yokomo has introduced a new graphite main chassis and upper deck for its RD2.0 1:10 Drift Car.  The plates are cut from matte graphite with the 2.4mm thick chassis helping to improve steering response without compromising the operability of the RD2.0.  The chassis supports only short-size Li-Po batteries. In addition to the standard holder, the DRB-118LA holder can be used to move the battery mounting position further back.  The upper deck is made from a slightly thinner 2.2mm material, designed to balance rigidity with the main chassis. Two additional upper deck posts can be added, allowing the rigidity balance between the front and rear to be adjusted.  There are also threaded holes for mounting LTS high-mount battery holders, which allow for settings that take advantage of roll.
