Chassis
The Yokomo RO2.0 1/10-scale 2WD electric off-road buggy features a carefully designed resin-based main chassis that balances strength, flexibility, and low weight. Engineered to handle the demands of competitive off-road racing, the chassis delivers excellent durability without sacrificing responsiveness. A key highlight is the adjustable battery mounting system, which allows the battery to be repositioned forward or rearward to modify weight bias. This flexibility lets drivers tune the vehicle for maximum rear traction on loose tracks or achieve a more neutral balance for improved stability at higher speeds. The design also includes a detachable electronics tray, enabling the speed controller and receiver to be removed together for faster and easier servicing. Complementing the chassis, the aerodynamic body shell and oversized rear wing generate increased downforce, improving cornering stability and enhancing control while airborne, making the RO2.0 a versatile and competitive racing platform.
Drivetrain
The RO2.0 utilizes a durable three-gear transmission engineered to deliver strong rear-wheel traction and consistent performance on dirt surfaces. The motor is mounted closer to the rear of the vehicle than in conventional layouts, shifting additional weight over the rear tires to boost grip and improve acceleration, especially on low-traction tracks. The transmission is fully enclosed within a sealed gearbox, protecting the gears from dust, sand, and debris. A factory-installed slipper clutch helps regulate power delivery, reducing drivetrain shock during landings and smoothing acceleration over rough terrain. Combined with a protective gear cover, this drivetrain configuration ensures reliable operation and long-term durability even in demanding racing environments.
Suspension
Drawing inspiration from high-level competition buggies, the RO2.0 suspension employs a double wishbone layout at both the front and rear for enhanced stability and precise wheel control. Threaded, oil-filled shock absorbers allow for ride height adjustments and easy tuning through shock oil changes, giving drivers the ability to adapt to a wide range of track surfaces. The long-travel suspension geometry provides excellent impact absorption, helping the buggy remain composed over large jumps and uneven terrain. Adjustable turnbuckles and steering links enable fine-tuning of camber and toe angles, allowing racers to dial in handling characteristics for optimal cornering. For those seeking even greater performance, optional aluminum shocks are available, offering smoother operation and increased durability. This highly adjustable suspension system delivers predictable handling and confidence, making the RO2.0 a strong performer on any off-road course.
