Yokomo RS2.0 Optional Servo and Suspension Mounts

Yokomo has released two new option parts for their entry level Rookie Speed 1:10 Electric Touring car in the form of an Aluminium/Graphite servo mount and an Aluminium suspension mount set.  The servo mount is a hybrid structure that enhances the steering response of the RS2.0.  The stay connecting it to the chassis is made of aluminium, and a lightweight graphite plate is used on the upper side of the chassis to prevent excessive changes in the centre of gravity.  The servo itself is firmly fixed to the chassis to increase steering response and improve line tracing accuracy in corners.  The aluminium rear suspension mount, which also fits the previous RS1.0. is basically designed to have the same width as the standard one, but the rear rear suspension toe angle can be changed by interchanging the two types of bushings.  The kit standard (3 degree) bushing is the centre bushing, and by swapping the orientation of the offset bushing, the toe angle can be selected between 2.5 and 3.5 degrees.

British manufacturer Schumacher has released a number of new option parts for its TITC debut winning Mi9 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  First up is a new Carbon Fibre lightweight rear shock mount set.  Not only does this set reduce the overall weight of the car, it also provides better body support and is a stronger solution to the standard body mount in a heavy rear end shunt.  On track it gives the car more rear end stability.  Also new is a Carbon Fibre rear top deck brace.  A simple solution to brace the rear top deck for a stiffer rear end flex solution.

Yokomo RS Solid Axle Kit

Yokomo is giving owners of their entry level Rookie Speed 1:10 Electric Touring cars the option of this Solid Axle Kit.  Lighter than a standard geared differential, it eliminates unnecessary differential operation, resulting in a more stable ride.  It is particularly effective on high grip surfaces such as carpet, providing greater stability on corner exits and reducing spin on acceleration for faster exit speeds.  The loss of differential operation puts a strain on the driveline due to the difference between the inside wheels when cornering, but the use of a double-jointed universal in conjunction with a double-jointed universal minimises the loss of power and allows smooth turning.  Sets with or without double-joint universals are available.
