Refine Your Drift Technique with the Yokomo YD-2R Plus
The Yokomo DP-YD2RPLS - 1/10 Drift Package YD-2R Plus Kit showcases Yokomo engineering focused on balance and drift control. Built for drivers who want predictable slides, the rear motor layout shifts weight rearwards to change the handling character, giving drivers a rewarding platform for practicing controlled drifts and advanced cornering lines.
Chassis Layout and Driving Feel
The rear-mounted motor on this platform improves rear traction and alters weight transfer, producing a drift feel closer to real drift cars. The low-profile chassis keeps the center of gravity down for stability at speed while letting you flick the car into a slide and maintain smooth transitions.
Tuning Range and Upgrades
Drivers can fine tune suspension geometry, shock rates and gear ratios to suit different surfaces. The kit accepts common upgrade parts and uses precision bearings and adjustable dampers, so incremental changes deliver noticeable handling improvements without sacrificing reliability.
How It Compares in the Yokomo Lineup
Compared to front-motor Yokomo variants, the YD-2R Plus delivers a rear-biased feel that alters throttle steering and pivot points. That difference makes it appealing to pilots who want to work on weight transfer and tail control rather than the balance offered by front-motor versions.
Set up Tips for Consistent Drifts
Experiment with tyre compound and camber settings to find the right slip angle for your surface. Softer tyres give more grip on smooth floors, while small camber tweaks help steady the car in high speed turns. Keep moving parts clean and lightly lubricated to preserve predictable handling.
