Best chassis to start into RC Drift. Can keep up with others highly tuned chassis. Aftermarket support and pieces for this is huge.
Great starter chassis, it was easy and straight forward to put together if you've build a kit before. I wouldn't recommend this as a first build, you might struggled, compared to a Tamiya. But for an experienced builder this will be no problem. I installed some higher end electronics and so far after a quick toe adjustment by my local drift track owner before my first run, I was doing controlled donuts on the first battery pack and having some decent drifts on my next outing. I'm still no expert, but being able to just get out and get trigger time with minimal setup is pretty awesome. Also in a world of RTRs, being able to go old school and pick my own electronics, pick my own wheels and tires and body was nice.
This is a great chassis at a phenomenal price. Simple to build. Simple to install electronics. I'm running a v4 gyro, sp02 servo, and DX1 motor in mine, and I have had to do ZERO tuning since I built it a few months ago.
Very easy to build kit, most upgrade parts for yd chassis transfer over considering the rd is just a renamed yd kit. Worth every penny, can’t wait to drift this after I get the body painted and put together!
this chassis was easy to build (first build ever) drives great takes turns good
All five reviews are five-star ratings, and reviewers consistently describe the Yokomo RD2.0 Rookie Drift kit as easy to build, with one noting it suits experienced builders more than complete beginners compared with a Tamiya kit. Reviewers report good drifting performance, with one describing competitive results against more highly tuned chassis, and state that electronics installation is straightforward. One owner reports needing no tuning after several months, while another required a quick toe adjustment before first use. Reviewers mention strong aftermarket support and that upgrade parts from the related YD chassis fit. Reviews do not describe significant problems. The sample is small and all reviews relate to the same variant.
