Coming soon from Yokomo is their new SP-02DV2 programmable servo for RWD drift cars. An updated firmware allows for better adaption to the needs of rear-wheel driven cars with a new function to suppress hunting, a malfunction that can occur in combination with steering gyro units. Also included is a wider support for the different settings both entry and pro level drivers need. As for the hardware side of things, the servo utilises a heatsink aluminium middle case, a coreless servo and a mixed titanium and aluminium geardtrain. The servo is programmable using Yokomo’s optional SP-03DPC programming device and it will hit stores soon.
