Chassis

so the kit I’ve got is the Yokomo yd2s and there’s two different versions of this. I think you can also get one that’s got a carbon chassis. This is the more basic one. I think it’s like a, I don’t say entry level. It’s like a mid-range um chassis I believe and there’s two different versions. I’m not sure of the complete differences. I just know that the s version I got some advice from a good friend of mine that does some drifting. He said that this is the better one of the two to get in his opinion rear wheel drive so a proper drift car not four wheel drive. This is rear-wheel drive. It’s gonna take some getting used to.

Electronics

you get a basic gyro with this kit as well that comes with it that’s the yg302. That’s just a basic gyro. I will at some point upgrade to a a better one. we’ve got a low profile savox servo. should be up to the job. Just got some cheap drip wheels I got from aliexpress. just some cheap ones to get started with until I actually find out what I want. i’m gonna be using surpass hobby rocket. it’s a 10 and a half turn v2 pro and it’s going to be paired up to hobby wing xr10 pro.

Performance

this thing is definitely in my top three or even top two of enjoyable builds.so good everything goes together absolutely fine. awesome quality and i mean it took me a while to realize why i was so impressed with the quality. it’s made in japan and who doesn’t like stuff that’s made in japan. japan have always been at the top of the game for the quality and products.
