Tuning Impact: Rear CVD for BD7/BD5

The BD-010RW is a double-joint universal drive from Yokomo for 1/10 scale touring cars, built to improve rear drive behaviour during dynamic chassis movement. Doubling the joint between dogbone and axle smooths torque handoff as the rear suspension cycles, aiding corner exit consistency under articulation.

Performance-wise, this double-joint CVD keeps drive engagement more continuous through suspension travel and reduces driveline lash when running at high angles. The assembly requires a thin-type inner axle bearing to achieve the intended clearance; use the included bearing or fit the BB-105T2 spare if replacement is necessary.

Installation aligns with common CVD swap procedures on Yokomo BD rear hubs: inspect bearing thickness before assembly, confirm dogbone seating, and rotate the hub across full suspension travel to ensure smooth freedom before final torquing. Racers install this unit to stabilise rear traction and maintain consistent corner exit speeds over varied surface conditions.

Use BD-010RW to refine rear traction behaviour on BD7/BD5 cars and confirm the thin inner axle bearing (included or BB-105T2) is correct before finishing assembly.
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 BD-010RW change corner exit under throttle?

The twin-joint arrangement smooths torque application, making traction more predictable during load transfer. Drivers often notice steadier exits with fewer sudden breaks in grip when compared to standard dogbone setups.

Should I alter spring or damper settings after fitting?

Minor suspension tuning may be beneficial; some drivers soften rear rebound slightly to maximise the continuity this CVD provides, but changes depend on track surface and driving style.

Does the CVD affect gear choices?

Not directly, but because the CVD helps maintain traction at exit, some tuners opt for slightly higher gearing to capitalise on the improved drive consistency.

Any setup tips for mixed-surface tracks?

Start with stock suspension settings and confirm the bearing clearance is correct, then make small incremental changes to damping and roll centre to find the best balance while using the BD-010RW.
