The Yokomo Master Drift MD1.0 Load Transfer Special (LTS) 1/10 Electric 2WD RWD Drift Car Kit is a high-performance machine designed to simulate the authentic weight transfer and suspension movement of a real drift car. Built for serious drifters, the LTS version focuses on achieving a realistic load transfer and enhancing the car's roll through corners.

Its customization options allow for precise tuning to match your personal driving style and track conditions.

About the MD1.0 LTS


High-Mounted Battery & Motor

The MD1.0 LTS is engineered with a high-mounted battery and motor, which enhances the car's ability to mimic the weighty feel of a real vehicle. This setup produces traction roll, allowing the car to maintain realistic behavior through corners. The adjustable battery holder also allows for fine-tuning the weight distribution, providing greater flexibility in controlling the car's balance and drift angle.

Customizable Suspension System

Equipped with specialized front and rear multi-layer springs, the MD1.0 LTS delivers smooth and responsive suspension performance. The aluminum shocks and graphite lower arms contribute to a flexible and stable suspension system, allowing for precise control during drifts. The suspension setup is fully adjustable, offering a wide range of roll center configurations and ensuring you can tailor the car's handling to any track condition.

Advanced Steering Components

The MD1.0 LTS features a high-mounted front steering block with adjustable kingpin angles, offering a realistic camber change during cornering. The steering angle is designed to maintain deep drifts, while the high-mounted upper arms reduce excessive nose dive, giving you more control through turns. This design not only improves the car's drift performance but also makes low-angle video shots look more dynamic and realistic.

  • High-mounted battery for traction roll

Yokomo Master Drift MD1.0 LTS 1/10 Electric 2WD RWD Drift Car Kit
Super clean kit!
In typical Yokomo fashion this kit is top of the line.

It comes with both the original MD 1.0 front end as well as the LTS mod components
and it also comes with 2 building manuals the stock MD 1.0 manual and the supplemental LTS manual.

I will say that can get a little confusing you will have to follow both the manuals when building the LTS setup and be really on top of looking between both manuals to make sure you are doing the right step for the right build you are going for.

This being said my only complaint about this kit is the steering assembly.
If you follow the instructions line for line you end up with a steering assembly with ALOT of play/slop.
I'm talking like 10mm to 15mm of wiggle in the front wheels.
This is because the front steering assembly is essentially a grooved and curved bar that is sandwiched between 3 bearings.
No matter how many shims and spacers I threw at it, I just could not eliminate the play in the steering.

It wasn't even drivable no matter how I tuned it.

So in my quest to tighten up that steering, I eventually put a much bigger bearing on the front of the grooved steering bar.
This eliminated all of the play in the front and now the steering is buttery smooth.

Overall I do not recommend this kit to a first time drifter/builder
And Yokomo if you ever see this
The 2 back bearings in the steering are a good size but the front one needs to be 1 to 2 mill thicker and 1 to 2 mill wider with the same center hole size.
The one I'm currently using is a wheel bearing for an xray fwd 23, it is slightly too big and the center hole isnt snug but it works better then the stock bearing.

Hope this was helpful!
