DP-YD2ZX

　The top-tier RWD drift car is finally here! Introducing the YD-2ZX, the flagship model that sits at the pinnacle of the YD-2 series. 　It features a graphite double-deck chassis based on a supple, high-traction main chassis. The steering servo is now mounted directly to the chassis, and the upper deck has been redesigned with a flexible shape, ensuring smooth steering feel without hindering the flex of the main chassis. 　Equipped with a special high-heat-dissipation motor mount on the Z-spec gearbox, the motor is set to a high-mount position. This allows the battery to be relocated to the rearmost position, moving heavy components closer to the rear axle to increase traction without compromising handling performance. The car is luxuriously outfitted with aluminum parts, including the front bulkhead, suspension mounts, shock towers, and big-bore shocks, resulting in a high-quality machine configuration.

The front comes standard with a machined lightweight bulkhead. A wealth of aluminum options has been utilized to dramatically increase rigidity.

The steering slide rack also features the latest lightweight rail specification to enhance steering response.

Aluminum lower arm adapters and steering stoppers have been included to improve performance by reducing unsprung weight.

The chassis employs a method of fixing the servo directly to the chassis using a dedicated servo mount and servo horn. Compared to connecting it to the upper deck, this avoids interfering with chassis twist, allowing for a neutral steering feel.

Due to clearance constraints, a low-profile steering servo is required (servo stay height is approximately 17mm).

The upper deck features bold cutouts to provide supple characteristics. It matches well with the high-traction chassis, enabling smooth cornering without front-end binding.

The high-traction chassis emphasizes suppleness. It offers excellent front-to-rear traction balance, with the added benefit of being lightweight.

While restricted by the upper deck, it is possible to select from 7 motor positions pivoting around the top shaft.

The battery is moved back into the space underneath the motor, creating a layout that prioritizes the rear weight distribution critical for an RWD drift car.

The front and rear shocks are fully tuned for smooth and stable operation. They feature a perfect combination of fluorine rubber diaphragms, high-grade O-rings, and titanium-coated shock shafts. They are paired with drift-specific springs: D-177FA Direct Type All-Round for the front, and D-179RA Side Grip Type All-Round for the rear.

The Z-series gearbox offers excellent maintainability. For the differential, a lightweight gear diff with an aluminum axle is used.
