Yokomo BD10 20mm bell crank & belt tension cam

A number of new option parts from Yokomo for the BD10/9 including a 20mm aluminium steering bell crank and a belt tension adjuster cam. The bell crank is 1.5mm longer than the standard bell crank, changing the steering characteristics, increasing the turning angle of the outer tire meaning improved steering in tight corners. The belt tension adjuster cam has been machined from hard resin and allows the axle to be set in a higher position than the standard cam of the kit. It also makes it possible to optimise the angle of the dog bone when setting the vehicle height on low grip circuits. Finally, there are two sets of 3mm teflon spacers for the suspension arms. An ideal spacer for adjusting the wheelbase of on-road and drift cars the spacers are made from Teflon resin and are very smooth. This makes it possible to reduce the friction of suspension movement during acceleration and deceleration, and obtain a smooth feeling by fitting this spacer between the suspension arm and suspension mount.
