Yokomo emerged as a pioneering force in RC racing with a legacy dating back to being one of Japan's first RC manufacturers. Known for creating the first Ready-To-Run (RTR) cars in the 1980s and bringing RC drifting to the world in 2003, Yokomo continues to set industry standards with their high-performance drift cars, racing kits, and parts that combine Japanese engineering with track-proven durability.
Yokomo focuses on 4 main product categories: drift chassis, touring cars, off-road buggies, and performance parts. Their lineup includes 6 YD-2 drift platform variants, from the entry-level YD-2S with plastic chassis (209.90€) to competition-grade carbon fiber models. The Drift Package RD2.0 (219.90€) and Super Drift SD series provide ready-to-assemble kits for different skill levels.
For serious racers, Yokomo produces aircraft-grade aluminum parts including caster blocks, hub carriers, shock towers, and suspension arms that cut weight while boosting durability. Their electronics line features drift-specific gyros with adjustable endpoints, low-profile programmable servos, and ESC/motor combos tuned specifically for drift or race applications.
Supporting all vehicle platforms, Yokomo offers performance parts including specialized shocks with various stroke lengths, precisely weighted springs, and chassis stiffeners that let racers match their setup to specific track surfaces and driving styles.
Yokomo, YD-2 chassis designer, revolutionized RC drift with platforms that perfectly balance grip and slide. Since 2010, their drift cars have won 7 major international competitions, proving their racing DNA works. Their 2022 YD-2 platform refinements include improved weight distribution and 20% greater steering response over previous models.
Every Yokomo product showcases Japanese quality standards through precise manufacturing. Their injection-molded parts maintain 0.01mm tolerances, while CNC-machined aluminum components use premium materials that resist bending and wear. This attention to detail extends across their line, from their 834B reproduction buggy to their newest YD-2Z drift car, ensuring consistent performance through hundreds of runs. Yokomo parts, tested by professional drivers, deliver reliability race after race.

Yokomo's YD-2 platform is designed for competitive drift racing with a low center of gravity, adjustable suspension geometry, and high-grip chassis. The rear-wheel-drive layout and multiple tuning options enhance control and precision on technical drift courses.
Yokomo's programmable servos allow users to customize response speed, torque, and endpoint adjustments, unlike standard RC servos, which have fixed parameters. These programmable features provide precise control tailored to different driving styles and conditions.
The best Yokomo drift car for beginners is the YD-2E, offering a user-friendly setup and stable handling. Advanced racers prefer the YD-2EXII or RD2.0, which have more tuning options and performance-focused components.
