ahhh
Steve, I am sorry to hear about that. I guess I will have to buy the T2 009 that I really don't want. I need a place in US I can get parts for it if I break. Otherwise I would just order a BD-5 from oversees!
Ruined my weekend!!

Maybe it is the end of the world. A very sad day.

I don't intend to start anything but if you read Steve's post, it does not say that the BD-5 will not come to USA. It is just that he will not be in the operation.
Although it is sad that such a good face to the rc industry cannot be involved in a positive venture in these tough times.
But I wonder if there is still hope for the BD-5 to come to USA and have parts support. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Sorry to hear about that Steve. That's a huge loss to Yokomo.

from the babelfish translation i make out:
the top bracket is very close to the motor so if you add superglue to seal coat the carbon you might add on to much on the side of the top plate and therefore the motor will not sit straight against the bracket anymore.
they advise if you want to coat it to sand lightly first and then cover thinly only and checking the motor clearance afterwards.
the pulleys might sit to tight due to manufacturing tolerances and the way the top deck is screwed down. so they advise to screw the topdeck down little by little and keep checking the clearance of the pulleys. if it gets to tight they advise to remove some of the shim that is between the pulleys.
