West Coast R/C Works BD8 CF steering brace

Coming from West Coast R/C Works is a new carbon fibre steering brace for the Yokomo BD8 touring car. The part improves the steering response and accuracy in medium to high grip conditions which is achieved by connecting the bell crank steering posts and decreasing the flex inside the steering system. The brace, machined from 2.5mm carbon fibre, is designed to allow the installation of an optional standoff to connect the steering brace with the upper deck. This will result in even less flex and a more aggressive steering feel while the integrated 8mm steering throw limiter will decrease the scrubbing of speed in high speed corners.
