Product code: RSR-020
The Yokomo Rookie Speed RS2.0 Electric Touring Car Kit is an excellent choice for beginners looking to enter the racing scene, offering both performance and affordability. Its chassis is constructed from durable resin for both the main plate and upper deck, ensuring a smooth and stable ride with reliable traction. This lightweight material enhances handling and control, making it easier to maneuver. The chassis also features a sturdy aluminum motor mount that supports both brushed and brushless motors, promoting efficient heat dissipation and long-term durability. Additionally, the adaptable battery holder accommodates various battery types, including traditional round Sub-C 6-cell packs and modern LiPo batteries, providing flexibility in power options. To enhance durability, a large urethane bumper is installed at the front, offering protection against impacts and extending the vehicle’s lifespan.
The RS2.0’s drivetrain is designed for optimal balance, utilizing a two-belt system with equal-length front and rear belts. This configuration delivers a stable and responsive driving experience, minimizing disruptions during throttle inputs and allowing for smoother cornering. Both the front and rear drives are equipped with gear differentials, with the rear featuring a sealed, oil-filled differential case. By adjusting the oil viscosity, racers can fine-tune the car’s handling to suit different track conditions. Universal drive shafts maintain consistent power delivery, even when the suspension is active or the wheels are turned at sharp angles. This ensures smooth control, making the RS2.0 user-friendly, even for beginners.
The RS2.0’s shocks and suspension system are engineered to enhance handling and performance. Featuring short oil-filled shocks and lower shock towers, the design effectively lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity, improving stability and maneuverability. These compact shocks offer precise control and are compatible with competition-grade springs, allowing for extensive tuning options. A double-wishbone suspension setup at both the front and rear helps absorb surface impacts, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. Additionally, adjustable turnbuckle upper arms and tie rods enable easy camber and toe-in adjustments, providing racers with fine-tuning flexibility. With its advanced suspension components, the RS2.0 offers both competitive performance and room for future upgrades as driving skills progress.
