B18C Turbo,

About a couple of weeks or so ago, Yokomo USA had a few BDM Kits available. I'm sure you LHS would be able to get you one as well as parts.

Regarding the new car, maybe someone can share more confirmed info on it's arrival.

yokomousa has the car listed @ $504 usd?

Yokomo USA will list it higher so they don't compete with the LHS.. Just have your LHS order it and it will come out cheaper.

There were only 555 of the SD World kits made, one which I sold almost four years ago.......They were not worth the money, Th LCG was an better move forward at that time. There are a couple Of SDW for sale in Hong Kong internet site and a some in Japan..........

There is no Definate answer when the New Yokomo Belt Drive (BD) kit will be for sale.........

You can buy a BDM from Yokomousa if they have any instock.
You can buy from RcChamps in Japan.
If the price is right you can buy mines...

I would wait if I was you.....(easier said than done). From look at the Proto it look like they are digging into some more steering for the Kit....I wish they would make the Top deck even and lift the motor mount from the lower chassis like the Tech Racing Medusa MY07





These kit is amazing in action...they are fast every where!

Well, im glad to say im very happy with my new bdm. I wasn't able to drive it today for racing, but i did let my friend take and drive it for me. the only thing i did to the car was add my running gear, tweak and balance it. It almost set our track record it the 10.5 class!! Just a little more tweaking, and she'll be there.
Thanks Yokomo for a great product!!

I have just recently purchased a BD Grainger kit to use outdoors in the uk.

Just wondering what things do i need to change to bring it up to date with the current kits. Some things i noticed was

* CGM Steering
* Hpi 4* front c-hubs
* Newer shock bodys

Anything else i got to do to it? Would rather do it when i build it now than have to change it later.

Also what setup do i need to start on?

Thanks

Craig

Thanks for the setup. With the motor mount is that with the front leg machined off?

Francis M.

iTrader: (2)

Yes, or you can just remove the screw to try it out first.....

Slick990

No problem,
I will just machine it off anyway. Same thing as i did to my Tc5's.

Anything else i need to do?

Francis M.

Just make sure to run the high volume shock bodies....
