Our RSD 20mm Springs will work on the car. I am so excited! Our line of progressive 20mm springs is my secret favorite RSD product (Besides the 12th scale).

I have my kit, but no time to build Maybe tonight in between calling races I'll be able to start on something...

I just ordered a bunch of stuff
Thanks, I ordered my kit from them earlier in the week, just forgot to order springs. They don't offer sal shipping method for all the springs I want, don't feel like paying 13 bucks for shipping. I'll just wait until need more stuff later and try xray springs.

Change the orings, they are most likely swollen from the oil.

Dear for any Yokomo expert:

As i drove from last carpet races with my bd715 then i verified of this car is too much sensitive.
As i didn't drive previous bd7s.
Only through this forum, i concluded the best carpet should be 2014 and asphalt is 2013, isn't it?

Could anyone confirm then comment and explain to me, please?

So..... I got me a new bd7 2016 but I cant open it yet until Christmas . I heard that this new kit does NOT come with the aluminum steering bell crank set? How about the DCJs?

Gracias

I have 2014, 2015 and 2016 on the way. I ran the Snowbirds last couple of years with them and the 2014 was the easiest car to drive but the 2015 was faster. You can always slow down the car to your preference with setup.

Could you tell me the difference of 14 and 15, please?

For me is just the x braces than nothing more.

Best regards.

Motor mount, chassis, shock tower attaching points. 2015 you can move motor mount forward, changing car balance.
