LCG Racing BD10 SFX conversion kit

Following a first teaser image, LCG Racing have fully unveiled their SFX Symmetrical Flex conversion kit for the Yokomo BD10. After months of development and testing, the SFX conversion has already proven its capabilities in the hands of Nicholas Lee. The lightweight 7075 motor mount is designed with durability in mind and it works together with the symmetrical 2-pieces top deck. The design allows the use of the same top decks for both front and rear and it greatly increases the flex options as well as the ease of use. The rigid motor mount, which includes mounting positions for the battery stoppers, minimises longitudinal flex and makes the car more direct at corner entry and exit while increasing corner speed. By having a symmetrical flex design the car is more consistent and easier to drive, while the increased options help to adjust and fine-tune the car‘s setup to almost any track conditions and driving style. The SFX conversion also provides easier swapping of the top decks and better access to the drivetrain. The motor mount design allows the use of large pinion gears for stock racing but also works with large main gears needed for modified classes. Included in the set, that is available from now on, comes the new design motor mount, narrow top decks, top deck screws and 1mm aluminum washers.

PN Racing machined 6-spoke Mini-Z wheels

Coming from PN Racing and made for the Kyosho Mini-Z 2WD and similar palm-sized on-road cars are machined 6-spoke wheels. The white colour rims are available in narrow, medium and wide specifications to suit all tyres and track width settings. While offering a cool and sturdy design their construction allows to add different diameter carbon fibre outer slip rings that do away with the need to add unsightly CA glue walls in order to counter traction rolling in high-bite track conditions. Instead the carbon fibre rings can be attached to the outside, not only helping against traction rolling but also reinforcing the sidewall of the tyre for improved durability.
