Yokomo MSR-020A MS2.0 Aluminum Touring Car Chassis Kit — Electric Powered  [MSR-020A]

Yokomo MSR-020A MS2.0 Aluminum Chassis Overview and Low-CG Focus

The MS2.0 update centers on an aluminum main chassis that shifts mass lower through a narrowed 1.5mm main plate, aiming to reduce lateral roll without creating an overly harsh ride. The layout concentrates components around the centreline to keep weight compact and manage chassis rigidity for consistent behaviour on high-traction indoor surfaces.

Construction focus and handling character

The thinner main plate is intended to lower the centre of gravity while preserving a controlled level of flex that smooths abrupt feedback at the limit. This mechanical approach seeks a usable handling window on carpet and other high-grip surfaces, rather than a purely stiffness-first design. A high-precision chassis screw was introduced to address assembly demands of a thinner plate and improve repeatability between builds.

Chassis layout and key components

Component choices reflect the MS2.0 emphasis: front and rear bulkheads, long-type lower suspension arms, an extended upper deck, and long-link upper arms produce a concentrated mass layout. Drive elements include a 42T front spool, a rear differential, and a centre pulley to control torque transfer. Low-mounted servo placement helps keep servo mass close to the chassis plane, and aluminium knuckles at both ends give durable steering points.

Build and finishing orientation

This kit is presented as a component-focused platform rather than a parts-bundled beginner set. Precision hardware and the dedicated chassis screw point to an intent for repeatable fitment, while the suspension geometry and upper deck choices favour hobbyists who value consistent mechanical behaviour across multiple runs.

Who this chassis suits

The MS2.0 suits builders seeking a touring car chassis with a lowered centre of gravity and deliberate mechanical choices. It appeals to hobbyists who want a balance between rigidity and controlled flex and to collectors who prefer a clearly documented aluminium-based platform.

The Yokomo MSR-020A MS2.0 aluminum chassis is built for modelers who prioritise a lower centre of gravity and precise assembly, delivering a stable, well-documented base for high-grip indoor running.
