Yokomo YD-2SXIII high traction gearbox spacer

From Yokomo, for their drift team is this spacer set that can increase rear traction by raising the gearbox height of the YD-2SXIII. The main plate is made of 2mm thick steel and weighs about 18g, and features Yokomo engraving. Furthermore there is an aluminium plate mounted on the front side of the gearbox and an aluminium shim mounted on the front side of the upper deck. The parts contents are made for the SXIII, but it can also be used for E series and R series chassis by adding spacers. Of course, an increase in weight, increases the feeling of ground contact, but a higher differential position will increase the angle of the universal shaft and the force on the tip of the universal axle presses the tire toward the road surface resulting in more traction.

JConcepts 2.2″ Stadium Truck Sprinter

The Sprinter tire from JConcepts is now available in a 2.2″ Stadium truck variant. Featuring square, angled pins that are stacked vertically to flex and fold evenly across the tire the company started with a new tread and focused on durability and performance to bring a rear tire option to market that competes on loose surfaces which are wet or dusty. The outer sidewall of the tire has angled pins incorporated into the design to help release the turn and provide the rotation not only needed in dirt off-road but specifically in dirt-oval racing. The blended tread to tire body is supported with a generous radius which promotes “pin snap” and resists tearing or separation. Horizontal traction bars connect several pins near the centre of the tire which bonds a critical area for increased push at high-speed. The sidewall area blends nicely into a step-spike feature which helps smooth the transition in bumpy sections and create side-bite.
