How this weight affects BD8 handling

This 40g centreline ballast is designed for BD8 on-road chassis and is supplied in steel to modify the chassis centre of mass on RC vehicles. The component serves strictly as added weight to influence handling balance and is not intended to change suspension geometry or other hardware functions.

In tuning practice, adding this weight moves the centre of gravity toward the fitment point, which can alter understeer/oversteer balance, affect traction when exiting corners, and contribute to straight-line composure depending on the broader setup choices. It is a ballast solution for precision adjustments at the track.

Fitment is simple when BD8 mounting points are present; positioned on the vehicle centreline the weight provides predictable fore-aft and lateral balance changes. Test by relocating or removing the item to judge handling impact before making other setup changes.

Compatibility

Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

How does adding 40g change corner behaviour?

Adding mass at the centreline shifts load distribution, which can soften initial turn-in or improve mid-corner traction depending on other setup choices.

Will this affect straight-line speed?

The extra 40g may slightly alter top speed, but its primary effect is to stabilise chassis balance rather than to change drivetrain performance.

Should I combine this with other ballast changes?

Use it alongside other small setup tweaks and test incrementally; this weight is best for fine-tuning rather than large-scale balance shifts.
