Yokomo BD12 Optional Parts

Yokomo has announced a number of upcoming new parts releases for its BD12 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  First up is a 2.4mm thick Graphite Bumper Support.  This plate is mounted on the front bumper to strengthen the bumper.  By catching crashes and other impacts with the bulkhead, it prevents damage to the front part of the main chassis.  A 2.4mm Graphite Front Shock Tower Stiffner connects the lower portion of the front shock tower to increase rigidity.  It increases the rigidity of the shock tower and improves the shock’s operating precision, while leaving the bulkhead surrounding it supple.  Graphite Steering Block Arm L, also 2.4mm thick, feature an extended tie rod mounting position compared to the RTC standard arm to reduce toe-in change during suspension stroke.  It improves turning performance especially on high grip surfaces.  Also new for the car are RTC Axle Block Spacers which are inserted between the aluminium axle block and arm to raise the outer tie rod position and increase the amount of toe-in change due to suspension stroke, thereby increasing rear traction.  Finally there is a Graphite Separate Battery Holder.  Lightweight, split front and rear sections allow the chassis to remain flexible for torsion.  Spacers are included to adjust to the battery thickness.
