Yokomo MSR-020A MS2.0 Aluminum Touring Car Chassis — Setup-Focused Kit  [MSR-020A]

Yokomo MSR-020A MS2.0: Setup and Tuning Implications of a Low-CG Chassis

The MS2.0 adopts an aluminum main chassis that uses a 1.5mm plate to push mass lower, aiming for reduced roll with retained controlled flex. The compact layout keeps critical components central to maintain predictable stiffness and repeatable handling through setup changes.

Design intent and mechanical character

The reduced plate thickness shifts mass down while preserving measured compliance to avoid harsh reactions at the handling limit. This mechanical philosophy supports a broader tuning window on high-traction surfaces instead of an all-out rigid chassis. A precision chassis screw has been introduced to simplify consistent assembly with thinner aluminium.

Chassis layout and notable components

Key hardware underlines the MS2.0 intent: front and rear bulkheads, long lower suspension arms, a long upper deck and long-link upper arms that centralise mass. The drivetrain specification includes a 42T front spool, a rear differential and a centre pulley. Low servo mounting keeps servo mass near the chassis plane, while aluminium knuckles at both ends provide robust steering mounts.

Build and finishing orientation

Presented as a component-oriented kit, the MS2.0 favours precision hardware and assembly repeatability rather than a fully bundled entry set. Its component choices suit hobbyists who prefer to tune geometry and setup for consistent lap-to-lap behaviour.

Who this chassis suits

The MS2.0 is for builders who want a lowered centre of gravity without losing a useful amount of chassis flex, and for racers who value predictable changes from setup adjustments.

The Yokomo MSR-020A MS2.0 aluminum chassis is a setup-friendly touring car platform that balances a lower centre of gravity with deliberate flex characteristics to support tuning and consistent performance.
