Purpose-Built Handling in the Yokomo MRTC-BD5

The Yokomo MRTC-BD5 1/10 electric touring car chassis kit focuses on controllable handling and simple maintenance. It gives hobbyists a platform that responds well to setup changes while remaining rugged enough for regular track use.

Drive System and Suspension Notes

A belt-driven 4WD arrangement provides balanced torque distribution and predictable behaviour under acceleration. The independent double wishbone suspension combined with large, adjustable aluminium dampers improves cornering stability and absorption of track bumps.

Lightweight Carbon Layout

Construction uses a 2.5mm carbon main deck with a 2.0mm carbon upper deck for a stiff chassis, and a 3.5mm carbon shock tower to support aggressive damping setups. The result is nimble steering without excess flex.

Built-In Racing Upgrades

Factory features include a front one-way and rear ball differential for fine traction control, along with aluminum diff housings and stabilizers to reduce weight. Durable titanium turnbuckles, solid body posts, and aluminum suspension mounts add longevity.

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Do I need special tools to build the kit?

Basic RC tools are sufficient: hex drivers, pliers and a small torque driver for screws. A set of shock tools and a diff wrench speed up setup and maintenance.

What tyres work well with this chassis?

Tyre choice depends on surface and track. Softer compounds give more mechanical grip on low bite surfaces while harder compounds suit high-grip or abrasive tracks.

Is the kit compatible with common electronics packages?

Yes, the chassis accepts standard 1/10 touring car electronics layouts. Plan battery and motor placement early to achieve the desired weight distribution.

How often should I service the diffs?

Check and service diffs after a few race days or if you notice inconsistent traction. Regular cleaning and light re-greasing will keep performance steady.
