There is a great review of the Yokomo in the June issue of R/C Car. From the review it does seem like a nice niche car for somebody who just wants to drift out of the box and does not know how to. The tires seems to be of a nice design as there are two grooves in the tires where plastic rings are installed to facilitate the tire spinning goodness. If anything the lexan bodies are very nicely done. Definitely for those that already have a 1/10 racer and extra cash lying around.
