Yokomo BD7 aluminium driveshafts & 1-piece FR mount
Coming from Yokomo and made for their BD7 touring car are pre-assembled 44mm rear driveshafts with aluminium dogbones and a 1-piece 44.2mm FR suspension mount. Starting with the driveshafts, the new parts greatly reduce the drivetrain’s rotation masses thanks to replacing the heavy steel dogbones with lightweight aluminium ones. A new lightweight clip design further reduced the overall weight, resulting in improved throttle response. The 44mm units come pre-assembled and they are usable in the rear of the car.
The second new part is the 44.2mm 1-piece FR suspension mount for the front suspension of the BD7. Cut from aluminium and coming black anodised the part replaces the standard split mounts and using the 1-piece hanger makes for greater stiffness of the front part of the chassis, resulting in quicker response and less traction rolling.
