Yokomo BD7-2015 aluminium chassis

Yokomo introduce an aluminium main chassis for the BD7-2015 kit. Optimised for high-grip surfaces such as carpet the chassis will prevent traction rolling as it not only lowers the centre of gravity but it also makes for a stiffer chassis construction. The chassis, that was used by Ronald Völker to win the final round of the Asian Onroad Championships and the opening round of the 2014/15 ETS, will feature chamfered silver edges for that luxury look and it becomes available by mid-January 2015.
