Introduzzjoni
This document provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Yokomo YD-2 Rear Motor Conversion KIT (Y2-RMC). This optional conversion kit is designed for use with all Yokomo YD-2 series chassis, aiming to optimize rear traction without significantly altering the overall weight distribution. By relocating the motor, the kit enhances traction control, particularly on low-grip surfaces, which is beneficial for drift applications. The design process involved extensive testing to achieve an optimal balance for high driveability and efficient traction.

Gwida għall-Installazzjoni
This section outlines the steps required to install the YD-2 Rear Motor Conversion KIT onto your Yokomo YD-2 series chassis. Ensure your workspace is clean and you have the necessary tools.
- Preparazzjoni: Carefully disassemble the rear section of your existing YD-2 chassis, removing the original motor mount, gearbox, and associated components. Refer to your YD-2 chassis manual for specific disassembly instructions.
- Motor Mount Assembly: Attach your motor to the new rear motor plate. The included motor mount allows for 6 levels of height adjustment. Select an initial height setting that provides adequate gear mesh and clearance.
- Gearbox Assembly: Assemble the new gearbox housing halves around the internal gears and differential from your original YD-2 chassis. Ensure all bearings and shims are correctly positioned.
- Integration with Chassis: Mount the assembled gearbox and motor plate onto the YD-2 chassis. Secure all fasteners according to the provided diagram (if applicable) or standard RC assembly practices.
- Final Assembly and Adjustments: Reattach any remaining components such as suspension arms, shock towers, and shocks. Perform initial adjustments for gear mesh and ensure all moving parts operate smoothly.

Konsiderazzjonijiet Operattivi
The rear motor conversion significantly alters the weight distribution of your YD-2 chassis, leading to increased rear traction. This characteristic is particularly advantageous for drift driving on low-grip surfaces.
- Motor Height Adjustment: The included motor mount allows for 6 levels of motor height adjustment. Experiment with different settings to fine-tune the traction and handling characteristics according to the track surface and your driving style. Higher motor positions generally increase weight transfer to the rear, enhancing traction.
- Konfigurazzjoni tax-Xażi: Due to the altered weight balance, it may be necessary to adjust other chassis settings such as shock oil, spring rates, camber, and toe to achieve optimal performance.
- Stil tas-Sewqan: The increased rear traction may require adjustments to your driving technique, particularly in throttle application and steering input, to fully utilize the benefits of the conversion.
Manutenzjoni
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your RC vehicle and the conversion kit components.
- Tindif: After each use, clean the chassis and conversion components to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air.
- Spezzjoni: Periodically inspect all screws, fasteners, and moving parts for looseness or wear. Tighten any loose screws and replace worn components as necessary.
- Lubrikazzjoni: Ensure that all gears and bearings are properly lubricated according to the recommendations in your YD-2 chassis manual.
- Xibka tal-irkaptu: Regularly check and adjust the motor's pinion gear mesh with the spur gear to prevent premature wear and ensure smooth power delivery.
Issolvi l-problemi
This section addresses common issues that may arise after installing the rear motor conversion kit.
- Poor Traction: If traction is insufficient, ensure the motor height is adjusted correctly. Consider increasing the motor height or adjusting other chassis settings like rear toe-in or shock rebound.
- Ħsejjes mhux tas-soltu: Check for proper gear mesh between the pinion and spur gear. Inspect all rotating components for obstructions or damage.
- Is-sħana żejda tal-mutur: Verify that the gear mesh is not too tight, which can cause excessive friction. Ensure adequate airflow around the motor. Consider using a smaller pinion gear if the motor consistently overheats.
- Unstable Handling: Re-check all installation steps to ensure components are securely fastened. Adjust chassis settings such as suspension, camber, and toe to compensate for the new weight distribution.
