About the RS2.0

Chassis

The Yokomo Rookie Speed RS2.0 1/10 On-Road Competition Electric Touring Car Kit is a perfect entry-level choice for aspiring racers, featuring a high-performance yet budget-friendly design. Its chassis, crafted from durable resin for both the main plate and upper deck, provides a balanced and smooth ride with strong ground contact, ensuring consistent traction. The use of resin also helps to keep the kit lightweight, allowing for better handling and control. The chassis includes a robust aluminum motor mount, designed to accommodate both brushed and brushless motors, giving it excellent heat dissipation and durability. Additionally, the battery holder is versatile enough to fit various battery types, from round Sub-C 6-cell packs to modern LiPo batteries, ensuring flexibility in power source options. For added protection, a large urethane bumper is integrated into the front to shield the vehicle during crashes, maintaining the kit's longevity.

Drivetrain

The drivetrain of the RS2.0 is finely tuned for balanced performance, thanks to its two-belt system featuring equal-length front and rear belts. This setup creates a stable, responsive driving experience with minimal disturbances during throttle inputs, resulting in smoother cornering. Both the front and rear drives utilize gear differentials, with the rear incorporating an oil-filled, sealed differential case. This allows for the tuning of driving characteristics by adjusting the oil viscosity, granting racers the ability to optimize handling for specific track conditions. Universal drive shafts ensure consistent drive efficiency, even when the suspension is engaged or steering at sharp angles, making the RS2.0 remarkably easy to control, even for novice drivers.

Suspension & Shocks

The shocks and suspension system of the RS2.0 is designed to elevate handling performance. The inclusion of short oil-filled shocks, combined with lower shock towers, drastically reduces the vehicle's center of gravity, leading to enhanced stability and improved maneuverability. These shorter shocks provide precise control, and their compatibility with competition-level springs opens up a wide range of tuning possibilities. The double-wishbone suspension on both the front and rear absorbs road surface impacts, delivering a smooth, composed ride. The turnbuckle upper arms and tie rods make it easy to adjust camber and toe-in, offering fine-tuning capabilities for competitive racing. This combination of high-end shock and suspension components ensures the RS2.0 is capable of delivering a competitive edge on the track, with plenty of upgrade potential as skills improve.
