DP-YD2SX2P

The YD-2S series has taken world drift competitions by storm, weaponizing the overwhelming rear traction of its high-mount motor. Among them, the top-end YD-2SX model—a true world-class, race-ready machine—is now available in a limited-edition Purple Version as the "YD-2 SXII" featuring the newly developed curved slide rack!

Based on a luxurious matte graphite main chassis, it comes equipped with a multitude of enchanting purple anodized aluminum parts and high-quality graphite options. The balance of weight and rigidity can be adjusted, allowing you to draw out machine characteristics tailored to various driving styles. Aluminum parts such as the front bulkhead and shock tower feature a bevel-edge finish, providing an ultra-premium look. It is truly a "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 PURPLE version!!!

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

Key Features

The main aluminum parts feature an enchanting purple anodized color. The aluminum suspension mounts, which are also tuning parts, are finished in black anodize to ensure a seamless look even when settings are changed. *The purple anodized parts are strictly limited, and additional parts will not be sold separately.

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

The slide rack adopts a curved shape derived from repeated test runs. It eliminates the tie-rod interference at maximum steering angle that was a negative point of the linear type, allowing for high controllability and composed driving even at deep drift angles. Furthermore, by mounting the slide rack unit at a forward tilt, the angle change of the tie-rod relative to the horizontal plane during steering operation is minimized, 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 mounts are made of aluminum to achieve high response.

Optional graphite chassis plates, which attach to both sides of the main chassis, come as standard equipment. They increase the rigidity of the main chassis, and by choosing the screw fixation positions for the side braces and these plates, subtle adjustments to the chassis roll rigidity can be made. This allows for fine-tuning of the front/rear traction balance without altering the suspension alignment, making it easier to obtain driving characteristics suited to road conditions.

Only short Li-po batteries are compatible, but various battery mounting styles can be selected depending on the fixation position of the battery stopper. In addition to horizontal and vertical placement, the horizontal position can be selected from three locations front-to-rear, allowing for adjustment of front/rear traction by changing the weight balance.

By changing the fixed position of the motor mount plate, the motor can be selected from seven different front-to-rear positions. This allows for fine-tuning of the weight balance, making it possible to achieve the optimal balance for the road surface being driven on.

Shortening the rear suspension arms brings out traction performance that maximizes the characteristics of drift tires. Load is easily transferred even with minimal roll motion, improving grip feel throughout the entire corner. The rear hub carrier is also a new type compatible with high upper arms. This setup allows effective use of the contact patch through camber change, even when using tires with a flat tread surface.

The Purple Version adopts newly developed drift-specific springs. It is equipped with D-177FA Direct Type Springs (all-around) in the front and D-179RA Side Grip Type Springs (all-around) in the rear, providing the latest in driving quality
