Based on the latest high-end touring car MS1.0, this FWD competition machine has undergone revisions to the weight balance and alignment, and reconfigured parts.
At the EFRA Euro Championship held in Belgium, the home of the speed category in Europe, Frederik Hofgaard brought a Yokomo FWD prototype machine and, in the FWD class crowded with strong drivers, successfully set up the MS FWD to take the European Championship.
The same A-arm suspension as the MS1.0 provides high traction, and the unique weight balance of a FWD car ensures a firm grip on the road, allowing for cornering with little loss of speed. Many common parts are also used, reducing running costs and expanding the ways to enjoy the speed category.

A 90g brass weight is installed inside the front bumper to ensure increased front traction and maximize acceleration.
The shocks have been laid down slightly to lower the center of gravity around the front end, allowing for sharper approach to corners and a more agile ride.
The front axle is equipped with a gear differential. The cornering characteristics can be changed by changing the oil viscosity, allowing for quick response to changes in road conditions.
The front and rear suspension uses the same A-arms as the latest competition touring car, the MS1.0. The upper arms are made of resin, which makes them easy to set up and provides high traction.
The machine layout places the motor in the front midship, achieving maximum acceleration while maintaining sufficient rear traction.
The battery is designed for short size Li-po batteries only. There are two mounting positions to choose from, allowing you to adjust the weight balance.
The rear suspension arms are also A-arm type. Front and rear stabilizers are also included as standard, allowing you to enjoy high-speed cornering even on high-grip surfaces.
The rear suspension alignment comes standard with rear toe control, which allows for stepless and flexible adjustment of the toe angle.
The rear shock towers and body posts are laid down to lower the center of gravity and suppress excessive roll.
