RE--YD2-RX Drops @ BROZ!

 

So how does the pre built and pre-setup RX drive... Different and Awesome!

 

Mounted under the CA* S14, Just as you'd expect, traction is premium. definitely the focus of the RX in on moving forward with rear squat. But even at decent angle, the drive overcomes the front grip deficit. 

Transitions... they do come a little slower with the weight behind the rear wheels, but you can swing from big angle to big angle with a smooth confidence. 

Hang time is real. 

I look forward to playing with the motor position a little and trying a new body next year.  

My other YD2-REX was setup with some new R31 house Work CR-11R that match very well. Still able to snapily throw this one around at big angle. 

So it's great to have two machines that drive very differently. 

Let's see what the RX brotherhood brings.

YD2 RX Samurai

 

New Chassis! https://teamyokomo.com/product/dp-yd2rar/

On a recent trip to Japan. Unrelated to RC. I couldn't resist a look inside my local shop.

With Yokomo refreshing its lineups, it seems everything is on sale. 

I'm a bit over screwing together chassis these days, so one of these gorgeous factory-assembled YD2 RX has found it's way into my suitcase.

Plenty of Alloy and carbon. Red for Samurai Spec. Slide Rack.

Rear Motor version with alloy sus mounts

Starting to fit out. 

I still have some red electrics.  

And some Sanwa goodies. 

Next stage ESC wiring and test run.

86 Looks good with black but as usual hard to see on track. 

Save for pics. Broz Diorama track is where is run. 

Real life vs RC is still very much a challenge.

YD2-REX Shakedown @ Broz

 

Shakedown @ Broz. 

Or is it Akina-san. 

The track is looking great these days. 

But what about the YD2. Basically. The fist setting didn't have enough lock.  So an adjustment in front toe started to see improvement, then a front track change and more camber server mixed results. 

It's not far away from a solid setup. Very fast, very slidy, but it just needs to be a little more stable.  

Until next time... Let's think of how to improve.  

YD2-REX Shakedown Ready

The YD2 is ready for a session. so the body is mounted up and the girls are in. 

Weigh balance by WW ladies. The chassis is tested on the house tiles and seems very forgiving. 

Added some custom canards and a few old stickers... maybe temporary.
