Yokomo Rookie Drift RD 1.0 Assemble Kit

Yokomo Rookie Drift RD 1.0

Do you want to enjoy so much fun indoors and outdoors, work on your driving skills, challenge your friends in tandem battles, tune your drift car handling by adjusting its suspension geometry, improve its performance by upgrade parts, or build a body your dream car?

It has never been so easy, as with the new generation of rear wheel drive cars, which not only can be tamed by anyone in no time and with increasing experience are capable of inch-perfect accuracy, but also, thanks to RWD drivetrain and gyroscope, really do behave like a real drift cars!

Yokomo Rookie Drift is a successor of the YD-2 platform, which was rightfully the world's most popular and most common representative of this class.
Thanks to the steering lock, which its front wheels can produce, it's capable of sliding in extreme angles without spinning, which means it is not only forgiving to beginner mistakes, but experienced drivers can use this potential for an aggressive driving style.
Its weight distribution and transmission, designed by top level Japanese drivers, give this chassis an exceptional grip and thanks to quality dampers and suspension, it can be controlled with ease.
A well-thought design is also a pleasant bonus, which allows you to do any modification, or maintenance in a quick and easy way.
