The BD8 focuses on lowering the centre of gravity and improving balance for faster cornering. Yokomo refined the platform to deliver a neutral feel that responds when you push for extra lap time.
By centring the front belt through the chassis and bringing the motor closer to the centerline, the BD8 achieves smoother power delivery and improved rotational balance, which benefits mid-corner stability.
A 22T centre pulley is fitted to harmonise belt wear and aid acceleration behavior. The bush/insert blocks make setup changes straightforward while their lower profile assists the low COG philosophy.
The motor mount includes multiple screw positions so you can alter traction and load transfer, and selective graphite plastic parts reduce weight in key locations without sacrificing longevity.
The aluminium servo mount and bellcrank system increase steering precision and cut chassis flex. Front double joint DCJs provide dependable handling under power, and the big bore SLF 2 short shocks hold the low stance required for tight cornering.
Racers looking for a tunable, low COG touring platform will find the BD8 responsive to setup changes and stable at speed.
