Racing Performer DX1 Type R titanium shaft motor

Yokomo have also introduced the newest version of their Racing Performer DX-1 Type-R, which is their best-selling motor for drift users. This spec features a lightweight and high quality titanium rotor shaft to further enhance the performance of the Type-R. A lighter rotor makes the throttle very smooth, while the optimised magnetic force improves high speed performance while working well with the boost and turbo functions of the speed controller. Compared to steel shafts, it is more resistant to overheating which can maximise efficiency even when running for long periods of time. In addition, by smoothing the descent of rotation when letting off the throttle, you get the feeling of rolling in the corner, which enhances control during cornering.

Yokomo YD-2 slide rack, ESC mount, fans & brass mounts

Yokomo have released a ton of new option parts for their extremely popular YD-2 drift chassis, starting with this upgraded slide rack set. The now single piece aluminium bulkhead that supports the entire slide rack ensures more accurate setup than with the original parts. In addition, changing the bridge at the rear end of the front bulkhead to the upper deck adapter, it enhances the flex at the front of the chassis. This set is compatible with both E series and S series, and the graphite upper deck compatible with slide racks will be required when using it for the E series.

All bulkhead-holes are 3,1mm to improve flex and reduce tweak, and both are available in 1.5mm or 2mm thick carbon.

Usukani PDSR Active Toe system

Coming from Usukani or their PDSR series drift cars is this active toe system. Consisting of new rear aluminium uprights, which has a ball raced pivot point at the base, as well as a system to attach the upright to the arms, the active part comes from a track rod mounted between the lower arm and the upright. Featuring a multitude of mounting points for fine adjustment, as the suspension travels up or down the small track rod pivots the upright from its default position.
