The RE-Xtreme RC DRB-REW chassis conversion was produced about 8 years ago and I produced close to 50 kits.
The main focus was rear traction to keep up with CS cars on the same tyre and create enough steering lock to prevent spinning on the very basic gyros of the day.
Honestly, this was one of the first RWD chassis in this layout that is now pretty standard.
We had near Zero grip on our GCRC polished concrete surface so I needed to get as much of the weight rearward without the too much weight effecting steering.
And also allow the user converting their old chassis with enough flexibility to use whatever conversion parts up front. Wide track, Wipers, Slide racks, Dual Servo, Front Mount Servo, Middle servo, left right. etc.
So when a friend bought this back into our group, I was excited to see what components were used.
Wrap up next recommended items and alloy y arms with OD extended ball ends give this a great amount of lock. and not much bump steer.
I offered to help another friend who acquired a set of chassis plates that had been produced by Bezerk RC directly. (you can still get them) albeit without screws etc.
All my DRBs were converted much like this one although this one holds a challenge without the type 2 front uprights.
I think I got this pretty close to a working machine but there's a few key items this one needs to loose it's true CS like a Diff/Spool and some front knuckles.
These chassis still perform very well with a few friends still hounding my tuned YD2s.
Still proud i put in the efforts.
Time to debut the DEMI Works More FD
and there may be many more.
Demi Works FD II may as well be Demi More. ;)
The first one I made is awesome so I needed another.
They always start as a bunch of parts and painting is a pain in the ass.
Test fit always brings up the smile and motivation.
Then when the shoo goo is setting, I start trying the wheels.
Yokomo YD-2 RX & ZX Samurai Spec
Both Chassis are very very similar
Components are Yokomo Chassis with Slide rack and SLF Shocks
Motors and ESC are Accuvance (in fact Keyence from 2011) and still going strong.
Sanwa SG01D Gyro + Addiction RC Cases / Sanwa BLS Servos / Sanwa RX982 / 462 Receivers
Both cars started as Yokomo YD-2 RX Factory Assembled - Red Versions

FD back on the YD2 RX. Wow this feels good with this body. A bit more up front downforce and it turns in pretty nice also. Amazing what true downforce does.
Im liking these Raijin S15.
They are a good Scale body.
Monster A90 solved some inconsistency. I guess letting the front of the body drag on the ground isn't really the best. Raised it up and feels amazing now.
YD2 Test Time but first lets run the RX Red and Black Twins
These chassis are so fun fun because they are se stable and so equal. really fun tandems.
The S14s are a bit dark. but when they are together they look great.
Small details are lost in the colour scheme.
the other chassis under the Supra is the YD-2 ZX. Im chasing a gyro issue in the ZX that I think is caused by play in the slide rack. but that process of elimination continues.
Its Still extremely good and once that inconsistency is eliminated. It will be pretty unbeatable.
FDs are back on track. always a good say when the scene is cool.
Met some twins. Reve'D RD-Xs are pretty strong
Battled all night with the YD2 twins RX and ZX debut was pretty awesome. running lap after lap with great dynamics.
The 86 is actually a pretty small body and the RX really needs a bit more width. Next time a body change.
