Improve YD-2 handling precision with Yokomo Y2-501MRA

The Yokomo Y2-501MRA Aluminium Ball Differential Joint Set is designed to replace the stock gear differential on YD-2 models, delivering lower rotating weight while keeping strength where it counts. This upgrade aims to enhance steering accuracy and mid-corner control for drivers chasing consistent lap times.

Why fit aluminium diff joints to your YD-2

Aluminium reduces drivetrain inertia and keeps wear resistance high, helping the car react more quickly to inputs. That makes aluminium joints a practical modification for racers seeking improved response without compromising longevity.

Installation guidance and compatibility points

When changing from a standard gear differential or a steel ball diff joint, you will need a drive cup protector (B8-500DP?360) to secure the dogbone end of the universal shaft. The Yokomo Y2-501MRA set includes both left and right joints for a complete replacement.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Are these diff joints suitable for both touring and drift YD-2 builds?

They are suitable for both styles; touring drivers will notice quicker responses while drifters may benefit from improved transition control.

What should I check after fitting the Y2-501MRA joints?

After installation, check for smooth dogbone engagement, ensure the drive cup protector B8-500DP?360 is fitted correctly, and verify there is no unwanted play in the diff outputs.

Will switching to aluminium alter diff setup values?

Switching materials does not change the mechanical preload or gear ratios, but you may perceive different handling characteristics so a small setup tweak could be beneficial.
