The Yokomo YD-4 4WD Drift Car Kit delivers the controllable
performance required to produce an exciting run under any circumstances.
Even in a run-through scene that requires you run your machine on the
edge while you match your opponent, control is the most important
factor! Tanso (Single / Solo) runs that are performed at the limits of
your machines ability and Tsuiso (Tandem / Battle) runs where you aim to
match your opponent require precision control from the driver. This
requires a sense of harmony between driver and chassis that cannot be
achieved with just any chassis.
By lowering heavy objects and keeping the weight in the center of the
chassis, it creates stability during a launch and increases stability
at high drift angles. By gathering most of the mass towards the center
of the chassis, excess momentum while pivoting is reduced. This allows
for sharp drift initiations and transitions, while maintaining high
stability and control-ability in a drift. In addition to shorty LiPo
compatibility, A simple change of the battery holder location allows for
use of a standard size LiPo (Square/Round).
Rigid H arm front suspension increases steering response and helps
to increase line tracing accuracy. IStandard ‘H’ arm type suspension
tends to have steering angle limitations and clearance issues compared
to an ‘I’ arm. The YD-4 resolves this issue with an exclusive suspension
arm that has a compact hub carrier. Its 55 degree maximum steering
angle is the highest in its class. The steering block is a narrow scrub
type to achieve neutral steering feel. The block also has added KPI for
movement close to that of an actual car to achieve a more realistic
drifting style.
A high precision steel slide rack type steering system allows
precise Ackermann ratios - even at large steering angles - is supported
by bearings on eccentric posts for fine clearance adjustments and helps
to minimize wheel play.
Although it uses gears common to the Drift Package series in the
front and rear, the gear cases have been redesigned to allow the center
of mass to be dropped by 2mm. (When compared to the DP) The shock tower
also sits lower but the new body post design allows for the rear shocks
to be mounted vertically. The shock spring retainers are also redesigned
to allow for long springs.
