Why choose the Yokomo BD-008RG1 graphite rear arm

The Yokomo BD-008RG1 is a graphite rear suspension arm crafted for BD5 chassis use. Its specified damper position at 39.5mm helps refine suspension response for drivers seeking steadier rear traction and cleaner corner exits.

Stiffness and damping synergy

Graphite construction keeps mass down while providing a stable mounting surface for shocks. Combined with the 39.5mm damper location, the arm promotes predictable compression and rebound characteristics under load.

Compatibility with BD5 components

Specifically shaped for the BD5, this rear arm accepts standard BD5 shock assemblies and mounting hardware. It is intended for users who want reliable fitment and consistent performance lap after lap.

Can I use this on a converted BD5 variant?

It is made to match BD5 geometry. If your conversion retains BD5 mounting points and shock layout, the arm should fit. Confirm clearances before finalising the install.

Is graphite fragile compared to plastic?

Graphite offers a higher stiffness to weight ratio than many plastics and resists flex under load. It is durable in racing conditions but can be brittle in severe impacts, so inspect after heavy crashes.

Do I need different shocks with this arm?

Not necessarily. Most BD5 shock units work fine, though you may tune oil weight and spring rates to match the altered damper leverage from the 39.5mm mount.

How should I maintain graphite parts?

Keep the arm free of grit and inspect mounting holes for wear. Avoid over-tightening screws and replace damaged fasteners to prevent stress concentrations.
