DP-YD2SX2

The YD-2S series has dominated RC drift competitions around the world, armed with the overwhelming rear traction of its high-mount motor layout. The "YD-2 SXII" now arrives as a world-class, race-ready machine, featuring the newly developed curved slide rack installed on the top-tier YD-2SX model!

Based on a luxurious matte graphite main chassis, this model comes equipped with a wide array of aluminum and graphite options. You can adjust the balance of weight and rigidity to bring out machine characteristics tailored to various driving styles. Aluminum parts like the front bulkhead and shock towers feature a black anodized finish with beveled edges, exuding a sense of premium quality. It is truly a finish that can be called "the supreme machine."

The overwhelming rear traction due to the high mount motor layout, YD-2S series has been dominated RC drift competition in the world. Especially the top range model YD-2SX has now renewed with new developed curved slide rack system, it is exactly an out of box ready for the battle in the world, new birth of “YD-2 SXII!!!

Based on the luxurious graphite luxurious main chassis, various aluminum / graphite options are equipped with. It is also possible to change the balance of weight and rigidity of the car, and it is possible to draw the machine characteristics according to various driving styles. Aluminum parts such as front bulkhead and shock tower are given a bevel edge treatment of black anodize for luxury appearance. It is exactly the finish that can be said as “the supreme machine”

Main Features

The front suspension arms are of a newly designed short type. The positioning of the steering stopper has also been refined to achieve an overwhelming steering angle.

The slide rack utilizes a curved shape derived from repeated test drives. This eliminates tie-rod interference at maximum steering angles—a negative point of linear designs—enabling high controllability and composed driving even at deep drift angles. Furthermore, by mounting the slide rack unit at a forward tilt, changes in the tie-rod angle relative to the horizontal plane during steering operation are suppressed, resulting in stable cornering characteristics throughout the entire steering range.

The servo is mounted in an inverted position in pursuit of the ideal steering feel. The front bulkhead and servo mount are made of aluminum to achieve high responsiveness.

Optional graphite chassis plates, which attach to both sides of the main chassis, come standard. These increase the rigidity of the main chassis and allow for subtle adjustments to chassis roll rigidity by selecting the screw fixation positions between the side braces and these plates. Since you can fine-tune the front-to-rear traction balance without altering the suspension alignment, it becomes easier to obtain driving characteristics suited to road surface conditions.

While the model only supports short Li-po batteries, you can choose from various battery mounting styles by adjusting the fixed positions of the battery stoppers. In addition to horizontal and vertical battery layouts, the horizontal configuration offers three selectable positions from front to rear, allowing you to adjust front-rear traction by changing the weight balance.

By changing the mounting position of the motor mount plate, you can select from seven different positions for the motor. This allows for fine-tuning of the weight balance to achieve the optimal setup for the track surface you are driving on.

The use of short arms in the rear suspension delivers traction performance that maximizes the characteristics of drift tires. It allows for easier load transfer even with minimal roll motion, improving grip throughout the entire corner. The rear hub carriers are also a new type compatible with high upper arms. This setup allows for effective utilization of the contact patch through camber changes, even when using tires with a flat tread surface.

These super low-friction shocks feature aluminum shock cylinders treated with Kashima coating to minimize frictional resistance with the piston. They adopt an 11.2mm big-bore cylinder, the largest capacity in its class for on-road use. In drift driving with resin tires, fine vibrations from the road surface are a major factor in reducing tire grip; however, the high-capacity super low-friction shocks absorb these vibrations, ensuring maximum grip. Being height-adjustable, you can change the ride height simply by rotating the spring tensioner, and they accommodate springs of various lengths. Of course, you can finely adjust the damping force by changing the shock oil or pistons to suit various
