Yokomo YD-2S rear toe control system

From Yokomo is this new rear toe control system that will dramatically improve the running performance of the YD-2S series. By installing a kingpin shaft on the rear hub carrier and connecting a linkage for toe control, it is possible to change the toe angle in response to suspension operation. Aluminium lower caster blocks, aluminium hub carriers and graphite arm plates are used for light weight and high rigidity. The damper is also mounted on the front side of the suspension arm, which reduces the weight of the rear overhang and gives it a racing look. For example, if the suspension is set to “Bump-in” which changes to “Toe-in” when the suspension is sunk, the car will have smooth turning performance at the entrance of the corner, but when the throttle is turned on at the exit of the corner, the car will accelerate with more rear grip. When the car is set to Bump Out, the rear grip is increased to facilitate acceleration, and when the car is set to Bump In, the car swings out dynamically from a stable straight to create a drift with a long distance. Also, the toe angle can be easily adjusted without steps, which greatly expands the range of settings.

Protoform Nissan GT-R R35 Pro Mod body & Outlaw wing

Protoform are proud to announce a partnership with Nissan. This collaboration begins with bringing the car they call ‘Godzilla’ to the No Prep RC Drag Racing scene for the first time, the Nissan GT-R R35 Pro Mod. The officially licensed body is the ultimate aerodynamic upgrade to your Losi 22S No Prep Drag Car or other 13.2″ wheelbase drag car. They combined the signature wide-mouth grille, side vents and powerful stance of the R35 GT-R with some stretched, pro-mod drag racing proportions to transform your no-prep car into a scale-1/4-mile import beast. It features a built-in spoiler, but for top-level Outlaw Class racers, or you can pair it with the upgrade Outlaw Wing Kit for maximum stability and performance at blazing fast speeds. Just trim the rear spoiler lip off your GT-R™ and mount the wing on the conveniently marked dimples.

Rêve D MC-1 red & purple versions

The highly anticipated colour versions of the MC-1 from Rêve D are finally ready for release. The MC-1 was the R.C.D.C champion from the all Japan cup in 2021, taking all podium places, and to celebrate they have released this limited version. A high quality red or purple anodising process has been applied to each aluminium part while keeping the enhanced properties of the original chassis, such as pitching & roll rigidity optimised for drift. Also included is the lightweight aluminium gear case, with excellent maintainability and their special design motor plate that can change the motor height without removing the spur gear unit. Furthermore, in this MC-1, comes with both types of upper deck so that it can be used with both slide rack and bell crank steering systems.

Yokomo YD-2RX Teams Edition drift car

Yokomo have introduced a limited edition ‘Teams’ version of their YD-2RX drift car. While based on the RX’s motor layout for high rear traction, the use of the Teams’ main chassis ensures a good steering feel. Not only does it have a sharp response to cornering, but it also provides better control while cornering. The suspension is also fully tuned with SLF big bore shocks, Team’s tapered shock pistons, titanium coated shock shafts and high grade O-rings, combined with the latest drifting springs for a competitive suspension. Other features include brass rear suspension mounts to improve rear traction, a LW integrated bulkhead to reduce front weight and a lightweight slide rack for weight balance. Available in red, black or purple versions.

RC Maker X4 carbon option parts

RC Maker have produced more new carbon items for the Xray X4, starting with this GeoCarbon floating front servo mount plate. It offers the ability to float the steering off the chassis, removing any interference with chassis flex. The bonus of this, is it’s also possible to lower the whole steering rack in the car by installing shims under the bellcrank posts and removing them from the steering arm (to maintain the same bump steer). RC Maker clam that this lowers the whole centre of gravity of the car, yielding faster response and more agile handling.
