Yokomo RookieSpeed RS1.0 Electric 4WD Touring Car Kit
Yokomo quality shows even on this lower price kit. Ran in VTA class and has lots of rear bite and steering on CRC black carpet. Leaps and bounds better than the 3racing S64 and Cero Ultra I had. Satisfied with my purchase for the price I paid. A lot of car for $200. Don't listen to the Awesomatix snobs that think you need to spend $800 to have fun with a touring car. Just waiting for Yokomo to release some hop ups now such as sway bars and springs. Only difficulty is getting the correct gear ratio for 25.5 motors. The largest 64 pitch pinion you can fit on the car is 47 tooth.

Yokomo RookieSpeed RS1.0 Electric 4WD Touring Car Kit
I absolutely love this kit! I am just finishing up the build and can't wait to race it this coming weekend. I would have given it 5 stars but the only reason I didn't is for the lack of hop up parts that are available for this kit as of now. I'm hopeful that more hop up parts will be made available in the future.

Yokomo RookieSpeed RS1.0 Electric 4WD Touring Car Kit
Very happy with the kit. You should have some familiarity with kits as the instruction diagrams can leave some things to interpretation. Built this car for a carpet spec racing. For the price and quality of kit you can’t go wrong in my rookie opinion.

New to competitive class onroad and this is a great way to get into the fast class.

* rear toe was -6/-5 degrees left and right side. The little
Pin heads were all the same except for one (manual has 8x pieces all identical F&R). I got a toe control kit and got it to racing alignment spec.



Update 10/22
* biggest issue is motor mount. gear options are very limited due to MM adjustments and clearance for upper deck supports. smallest Spur for 48P was 80T with a 31T pinion (removed 1x bolt for the support mount or it will grind). currently going with a 45t 64p pinion with a 100t spur to help speed.

Yokomo RookieSpeed RS1.0 Electric 4WD Touring Car Kit
Fairly simple straight forward kit, for the cost very acceptable!
Only ran into one issue, main shaft that holds the spur and belt drive gears was .004” over what it should be to fit in a 5x8 bearing but a little drill and few different grit sandpapers fixed it… shocks suck(can’t expect much out of a rookie kit) diff gaskets are very brittle(be careful) overall would recommend to someone new to kits and wants to get into on road. Or someone that wants something cheap that’s still a lot to bash around parking lots… this will absolutely not come close to handling like the mtc or comparable kit but it’s fun simple to assemble and fairly good as far as component quality

Yokomo RookieSpeed RS1.0 Electric 4WD Touring Car Kit
I just raced my first race with this kit after 20 years of not racing. I gotta say I'm super impressed with this kit for the price. It has great acceleration and is very smooth. Keeps it speed in the corners and is very easy to drive. It's a great low budget kit. Im competitive against the higher priced kits. Good job on this kit yokomo.
