The BD8 represents a careful evolution of Yokomo touring car design, prioritising predictable handling and a wide tuning window. Its layout supports fine adjustments to suit different circuit demands.
Routing the front belt through the chassis centre improves drivetrain symmetry and reduces sudden load shifts. Combined with the motor moved inward, the car gains improved balance and stable turn-in characteristics.
The larger 22T centre pulley smooths belt engagement and contributes to more consistent acceleration feel. Bush/insert suspension blocks simplify geometry changes, and their lower height contributes to a reduced centre of gravity.
The motor mount allows several screw settings to refine traction and corner speed, and chosen graphite plastic components help keep weight down while maintaining stiffness in key areas.
An aluminium servo mount paired with a bellcrank setup helps deliver crisp steering inputs with less chassis distortion. The front double joint DCJs and big bore SLF 2 short shocks maintain composure while keeping the package low to the ground.
The BD8 is a solid choice for competitors who want a platform that responds predictably to setup changes and rewards precise driving technique.
