Optimising lap times with the BD5 World Spec

The Yokomo YOKMRTCBD5W BD5 World Spec is a 1/10 scale touring car chassis kit crafted for racers seeking predictable handling and setup control. The platform is focused on delivering stable behaviour through corners and clean power delivery on straights.

World Spec upgrades that improve handling

The World Spec brings targeted reductions in mass and finer control of weight distribution. The chassis and radio plate are arranged to accept LiPo packs, helping to keep the mass low and central. Carbon-fibre reinforced transverse arms and pared-down steering parts lower inertial load while maintaining strength.

Engineering choices for better stability and traction

The BD5's very low motor placement reduces roll and improves stability during fast transitions. Belt pulleys are designed to limit friction for smoother torque transfer. The split engine block promotes rear chassis flex that enhances rear axle traction when accelerating out of corners.

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.

Is the BD5 kit plug and play out of the box?

No, this is a chassis kit and requires separate electronics and assembly; this allows you to choose motor, ESC and radio gear to suit your setup goals.

Which wheelbase settings are available?

You can adjust the wheelbase from 254 mm to 259 mm to tune stability versus agility depending on circuit demands.

What should I consider for gearing choices?

Select gearing to match your motor and track layout; lower gearing helps corner exit on tighter tracks while higher gearing benefits long straights, keeping in mind motor and ESC limits.

How does the split engine block affect handling?

The split engine block allows a degree of rear chassis flex which can increase rear traction under power, making it easier to manage throttle on corner exits.
