The BD8 continues Yokomo's focus on balance and adjustability, delivering a chassis that responds predictably when you make setup changes. It is built to give drivers a controllable platform across different track conditions.
One standout change is the front belt routed through the chassis centre, which evens out power transfer and helps reduce drive-induced instability. Moving the motor inward further refines the car's mass distribution for cleaner rotation.
The larger 22T centre pulley equalises belt wear and sharpens throttle response. The bush/insert suspension blocks simplify setting toe angles, while their reduced height supports a lower centre of gravity for improved traction.
The motor mount's multiple mounting holes let you dial in bite and corner speed, and lightweight graphite plastic components lower unsprung mass without sacrificing durability.
With an aluminium servo mount and bellcrank arrangement, steering inputs translate cleanly to the wheels and chassis twist is minimised. The front double joint DCJs and big bore SLF 2 short shocks help keep the vehicle planted through fast changes.
The BD8 is suited to competitors who prefer to tune their car in small steps; its layout rewards careful setup changes with measurable handling gains.
