The Yokomo RD-630BL is a purpose-designed lightweight spur gear hub for use on Yokomo RD, SD and MD drift platforms. Its increased diameter brings the spur gear nearer the gear case than the standard hub, which helps secure the spur gear and lowers vibration passed into the drivetrain.
With the spur gear positioned closer to the case, the hub reduces bending load on the top shaft during sudden throttle changes and delivers a more immediate sensation of acceleration during drifting practice and events. The explanation focuses only on characteristics present in the source details.
Replacement note: when changing from standard hubs such as Y4-630A, Y2-630PA or Y2-630RA, the set-screw location is different; Yokomo specifies the RD-631 aluminium top shaft to ensure correct fitment and secure assembly.
Choose the RD-630BL when you need a larger-diameter, lightweight hub that moves the spur gear closer to the case to reduce vibration and top-shaft stress; be sure to install the RD-631 top shaft if replacing a hub with a different set-screw position.
