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.

X-Grip rubber & foam tyre additives

The new X-Grip tyre additives are available in specific foam and rubber variants to make the most out of the different tyre types. The foam traction compound is best used on low grip tracks as it makes for maximum traction while also being usable with rubber tyres in medium grip conditions. X-Grip rubber is best used with soft rubber tyres but also foam tyres in higher grip conditions. Both come easy to use and clearly marked plastic bottles.
