I was at the Reedy race and Masami did use the new car. It did not look to different from the BD. I think he changed the suspension a little bit.

I had some problems with my car tweeking out on me if I touched anything during the race...I made the C main but I know if I could of made atleast the B if my car would of drove straight...I have only been driving the BD for a month so I am still figuring things out on the car...

I want to Thank Jason C, Edgar, and Butch for all there help during the Reedy Race...

Does anyone have any official data form Yokomo about the new car. I want to decide what to do with my BD. Most of what I do depends on when the car will come out. It looks too good for me to pass up!

hope that works masami's car is pic 246 which is page 9 outta the 12 matsukuras is the next pic

Is it just me or do I not really see that much change like theres a new topdeck, new rear hubs, steering, arms and suspension mounts but thats mainly the old bd right?

I don't believe that the original BD required a complete over haul. The things you listed and the different steering rack were the only parts that people have changed to get more steering and flexibilty in the car.

Just my two cents worth.

I'll be up for the new car when released.

Later

oh yea dont get me wrong I still think the bd great and im still running it the only things ive done is use the old mr4tc hubs and a trf416 steering rack.

No I was only saying as they had shown a new car at the Lrp masters and at the shizuoka show

On a previous post they are saying that this is a proto-type. I am just happy to see developments on a replacement Yokomo TC, prior to the Worlds later this year.

I am still very happy with my BD's both running the CGM steering modification and the HPI C hub.

So what is the expected release date on this car?

That car Masami was running is different to previous prototypes. That is just a BD with the prototype top deck and suspension.
The one at the show was totally new, new bottom deck and bulkheads etc
