YOKOMO Product Description MS2.0 Touring Car

If we had to choose a performance requirement for a touring car, it would be ‘speed’, but countless factors contribute to achieving it. The true test lies not just in making the tyres spin faster, but in the speed that can be achieved on the track during a race.

The Yokomo MasterSpeed MS2.0 consists of 90% new components, and its balance takes road conditions and tyre grip into account. The low centre of gravity and weight distribution greatly increase the car’s cornering speed!

The Yokomo MS2.0 offers drivers instant speed and a sense of fulfilment at the end of a race.

YOKOMO – a passion for RC cars

Yokomo is one of the most traditional and influential brands in the RC car sector, particularly in the 1:10 electric touring car class. Here is a brief summary of its history and significance :

Origins and development

• Founding : Yokomo was founded in Japan in the 1970s and initially made a name for itself with off-road and on-road models.

• Entry into touring cars : In the early 1990s, Yokomo began to focus intensively on the emerging class of 1:10 electric touring cars.

Milestones

• 1993–1995 : Collaboration with Masami Hirosaka, one of the world’s most successful RC drivers. Together with him, Yokomo developed some of the first competitive touring car chassis.

• Mid/late 1990s : The Yokomo YR-4 and YR-4M2 models set new standards and brought the brand international recognition.

• The 2000s : With the MR-4TC and later the BD series (Belt Drive), Yokomo embraced belt drive, which had a lasting impact on the scene.

• BD series : From BD (Belt Drive) through to the BD5, BD7, BD8 and BD11, the platform has been continuously refined over the years and is one of the most popular competition chassis.

Racing successes

• Yokomo has won numerous IFMAR World Championships and EFRA/ROAR titles, notably through drivers such as Masami Hirosaka, Naoto Matsukura, Ronald Völker and Christopher Krapp.

• Yokomo dominated the scene with its BD series, particularly during the 2010s, often in direct competition with Tamiya, Xray and Awesomatix.

Today

• Yokomo remains one of the leading manufacturers in the 1:10 electric touring car sector.

• With the current BD12 (as of 2023), the brand offers a high-end chassis that is used at the very highest level worldwide.

• As well as touring cars, Yokomo also produces drift and off-road models, but remains inextricably linked to the racing scene through the BD series.

👉 In short: Yokomo is regarded as a pioneer and a long-standing favourite in the field of 1:10 electric touring cars. From the first competitive chassis in the 1990s to the state-of-the-art BD generations, the brand has played a key role in shaping the development of this class and remains a fixture in international RC racing thanks to its numerous title wins.
