Rêve D YD-2 HT rear lower arms

Rêve D have announced the soon release of their new HT rear lower arms for drift car kits such as the Yokomo YD-2. The High Traction HT specification arms are CNC-machined from high-quality Duracon POM material for an accurate finish and best possible suspension action and they are of a reversible design, allowing to run the rear lower shock absorber mounting positions in two different heights, helping to fine-tune the suspension settings. The arms are available in 45mm, 48mm, or 51mm length and they use 3mm inner and 2mm outer suspension pins. Also available is a maintenance kit that includes four M2 tapping screws as well as a pair of 6mm spacers, the latter is necessary for the YD-2 series cars as the arms are 6mm narrower in the inner arm mounting area.

IGT8 Serpent 1/8th DAO drag assisted one-way

Coming from IGT8 and made for Serpent 1/8th scale cars is the DAO drag assisted one-way set. The system works with silicone oil to increase the internal friction that slows down the motion of the front wheels when being off throttle. This effect will improve braking, steering at corner entry and it will also help with more consistency and faster lap times. Tested extensively by the IGT8 team, the DAO was officially debuted at the 2019 US Nitro Cup with great results as Paolo Morganti took the TQ in the 1/8th class and Rafael Angulo finished 3rd while Ricardo Garri won the Master class.
