This is the Yokomo YD-2E PLUS 2WD RWD Drift Car Kit, featuring a
Graphite Chassis. The YD-2E Plus features more steering angle due to the
Short Suspension Arm which was redesigned to prevent interference with
the wheels; the location of steering stopper has also been refined. The
main chassis is made from slim graphite made from top-down from YD-2EX
which is the high-end model of the E series. By using matted high-grade
material, it has become a chic image finish. A longer stroke rear
suspension arm is now available as standard equipment. By increasing the
down-stroke amount, it is possible to pull out more rear roll
aggressively and enhance traction and stability. Aluminum shock bodies
are the super low friction type, featuring Kashima coating to reduce the
maximum frictional resistance with piston. The largest capacity in
on-road car category, 11.2mm big bore cylinder, was adopted and enabled
to absorb even small vibrations due to run with a resin tire on road
surfaces, it is now possible to get maximum grip. A height adjust system
makes it possible to change the car height by rotating the spring
tensioner and suitable for various length of springs.
The YD-2E Plus features an innovative design of the 4-gear
transmissions for drift use. This system prevents the left/right
imbalance due to the torque of the motor, by installing the motor in
horizontal position, leading to neutral steering characteristics.
Meanwhile, the rear traction will be increased on the throttle, so it is
possible to escape when cornering stability and acceleration forces to
withdraw. High dust-proof sealed gearbox is also attractive. In
addition, the rear transmission gear is a lightweight type by using a
plastic bevel gear and aluminum axle, contributes to the improved
throttle response and performance.
In order to make use of the rear traction obtained by the 4 gear
transmission, Yokomo set the rear toe-in slightly smaller. Push the
machine moves forward without wasting the acceleration force when
raising the throttle. Since the rear catch is lessened even when
turning, it makes natural turn-in and flip-back possible.
Standard batteries are all possible for use with the YD-2E series;
standard/short size LiPo Battery, NiCd, NiMH, such as 6-cell battery
also available.
