Yokomo SO2.0 Dirt Edition Buggy

Yokomo SO2.0 Dirt Edition Now Available‼️The SO2.0 Dirt Edition is the ultimate 2WD off-road buggy, meticulously engineered for superior performance on dirt tracks. While it shares the fundamental components of the standard SO2.0, this edition has been optimized with several key modifications for dirt surfaces.


Key Features:

1.  Rear Suspension: The rear suspension arms have been shortened and paired with dirt-specific springs, allowing the vehicle to better adapt to uneven and loose dirt surfaces.
2.  Enhanced Rear Traction: This buggy features a hard graphite-molded gearbox coupled with a ball differential, specifically designed to increase rear traction, ensuring stability and control even in challenging dirt conditions.
3.  Optimized Weight Distribution: The hard graphite gearbox not only boosts rear traction but also improves the overall balance of the vehicle. By adjusting the chassis weight distribution, the Dirt Edition achieves a perfect blend of cornering precision and acceleration performance.


These enhancements make the SO2.0 Dirt Edition an exceptional choice for off-road enthusiasts seeking peak performance on dirt tracks.


Changes from the SO2.0 to the Dirt Edition:

1.  Ball Differential: Now included as standard equipment, improving traction and control.
2.  Graphite Molded Gear Case: The rear gear case is now made of hard graphite, enhancing durability and performance.
3.  Rear Suspension: Features shorter suspension arms designed for better handling on dirt surfaces.
4.  Newly Developed Springs: The Dirt Edition comes with specially designed springs tailored for dirt track conditions.
5.  J-Concept F2 Body: The vehicle sports the J-Concept F2 body, offering aerodynamic advantages and a sleek design.
6.  Astro High Clearance Wing (7-inch): Equipped with a 7-inch Astro high clearance wing, providing improved downforce and stability.

These updates make the SO2.0 Dirt Edition uniquely suited for dirt track racing, with enhancements focused on traction, handling, and aerodynamics.

MINIPRO R/C Car Inertia Motor Dyno V2

The new MINIPRO R/C Car Inertia Motor Dynamometer (Dyno) V2 is designed for testing all types of R/C motors, whether brushed or brushless. The load on the motor is produced by the inertia flywheel unit, which is enclosed by a high-quality 6061 aluminum frame to protect against high RPM speeds. An embedded dyno board accurately measures the acceleration of the DUT (device under test).

The dyno uses a pinion/gear combination to accelerate the inertial mass (flywheel). The embedded dyno board measures the flywheel’s inertia (the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion) and calculates the time it takes to accelerate it. From this data, it calculates the output power and torque of the DUT. The dyno repeatedly measures and calculates power in small increments to produce an accurate graph of the motor’s power characteristics on a PC.

Precision, often referred to as “repeatability,” is crucial in a dynamometer. This means that testing the same electric motor multiple times should yield consistent results. Our dyno achieves repeatable test results using the built-in throttle controller sensor (license required).

Cancellation of Costa Rica IFMAR 1/10th worlds event.

IFMAR was just informed by FAMAR that the Costa Rica event needs to be cancelled due to noise issues with a neighbor party. Despite offers from the club to build a wall the local government is not willing to cooperate. To avoid late minute cancelling due to not having the necessary permits the organizing club decided to cancel now with about 5 months to go. IFMAR understand this is not the NEWS we want to submit, but this is force majeure and beyond IFMAR and the organizer. IFMAR are looking into the possibility to move to another location.
