Careful assembly is crucial for the performance of your drift car. Follow the steps below, referring to the detailed assembly guide included in your kit for specific part numbers and diagrams. Ensure all screws are tightened appropriately, but avoid over-tightening.

1. Unpacking and Inventory

Carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list. The kit includes:

• 1 x Carbon Fiber Chassis
• 2 x Differential Gear
• 4 x Skokdemper
• 1 x Rear Wing
• Additional hardware and components as per the detailed parts list in your kit.

5. Electronics Installation (Not Included)

Install your chosen motor, Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), steering servo, and receiver. Ensure all wiring is neat and secure, avoiding interference with moving parts. The chassis is designed to accommodate various standard RC components.

6. Wheels, Tires, and Body (Not Included)

Mount your preferred drift wheels and tires. Finally, attach your chosen 1:10 scale drift car body. Ensure the body posts are adjusted for proper fitment and clearance.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled and equipped with electronics, your Yokomo MD 2.0 is ready for operation. Always ensure your battery is fully charged and your radio system is properly bound and calibrated before use.

1. Kontrôles foarôfgeand oan it útfieren

• Verify all screws are tight and no parts are loose.
• Check steering and throttle response from your transmitter.
• Ensure wheels spin freely and without obstruction.
• Confirm battery is securely mounted in the floating battery holder.

2. Driving Your Drift Car

The MD 2.0 is designed for RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive) drifting. Practice smooth throttle control and counter-steering to initiate and maintain drifts. Experiment with the adjustable Ackermann ratio and differential height adjustments to fine-tune handling to your driving style and track conditions.

• Stjoer: Use the steering wheel on your transmitter to control the front wheels. The adjustable Ackermann ratio allows for precise tuning of steering angles during a drift.
• Gasklep: Use the trigger on your transmitter to control forward and reverse motion. Smooth throttle input is key for maintaining drift angles.
• Remmen: Braking is typically integrated with the throttle control. Pushing the trigger forward from neutral usually engages the brake.

3. Post-Run Procedures

• Verbreken de batterij út de ESC.
• Turn off your transmitter and then the receiver.
• Inspect the car for any damage or loose parts.
• Clean the chassis and components as needed.

Ûnderhâld

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Yokomo MD 2.0.

• Reiniging: After each use, clean the chassis and components to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Ynspeksjes: Periodically inspect all screws, nuts, and bolts for tightness. Check suspension components for wear or damage.
• Lubrication: Lubricate moving parts such as universal joints and differential gears with appropriate RC-grade lubricants.
• Skokbrekers: Check shock absorber oil levels and seals regularly. Refill or replace as necessary to maintain consistent damping.
• Lagers: Inspect bearings for smooth operation. Replace any rough or seized bearings.
