Yokomo YD-2SXIII graphite high traction chassis

For the YD-2SXIII, Yokomo have introduced this new main chassis made of graphite that changes the running characteristics of the machine by drastically changing the shape. Although optimised for the YD-2SXIII, the screw hole positions on the main chassis are the same, so E-series gearboxes and rear motor conversions can also be installed. While using the 2.5 mm thick plate material common to the YD-2 series graphite chassis, it has been slimmed down overall and has been significantly lightened, so it can be used on low grip road surfaces such as P tiles and coloured concrete. In particular, the area around the rear is designed to be as thin as possible by slit processing, making it possible to maximise rear traction. This main chassis has the perfect characteristics when you want to improve the stability of drifting in corners.

MiBorg M-chassis RCV driveshafts

Coming from MiBorg and made for the Tamiya M-chassis are the new RCV driveshafts. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration and more compacity compared with a double joint. This leads to a more predictable driving and in addition the wheel axles allow the use of pin-less wheel hex adapters for a better wheel concentricity. These driveshafts can be use on the rear, they bring more stability and a better control of the trajectories.
