Yokomo BD7-16 hard carbon chassis & soft upper deck

Yokomo have introduced two new option parts for the BD7-2016 touring car in the form of a hard carbon fibre chassis and a soft carbon fibre upper deck. Starting with the chassis, it is designed for low to medium grip tracks and cut from a new carbon weave that offers increased torsional strength while being slightly thinner, providing a better balanced front-to-rear grip, resulting in improved corner speed and initial steering. The chassis is characterised by three slots under the main gear section and two additional cuts along the battery and electronics compartment. Also new is the soft upper deck for the use with the optional aluminium chassis. The softer top deck provides improved traction and a more progressive feel which translates to increased side bite. The part was in use by the Yokomo team during the recent ETS round in Austria, being a favourite among those modified and stock drivers that opted to run an alloy chassis.
