Hey man , thankx for the input.
I can complete follow you , but isnt so that more roll give more traction because the car can more lean ?
I case of stability you got your point , but how about lateral traction :-).

After alot off reading and testing i finally got the theory and working of rollcenters; (i thought so hehehe)
But then when i look to basic setup of the bd7 (lovely car btw) i think i dont get it complete :-)

Well I've only had the car out a few times so far, on hi grip carpet, a soft rolling setup makes this car super easy to drive on our 90x45 rug, powered by a 13.5

Will hit the asphalt in a few weeks to see how she goes there

And yes, she is quite lovely

From teamyokomo.com, new go faster parts!

■B7-S6AC:Aeration Shock Cap 980 JPY


These shock caps provide improved initial bump reaction, and may be well suited for bumpier tracks.
Adjusting the amount of oil and air allows the amount of rebound to be adjusted as well.


■B7-413W2:Front hub carrier (2 degree caster) 580 JPY

Compared to the kit standard 4 degree front hub carrier, the 2 degree version will provide better initial steering response. Although suited for tight track layouts with many corners, in high-grip conditions where traction rolling is an issue, the increased understeer upon corner exit may help prevent traction rolling from occurring.


■B7-413W6:Front hub carrier (6 degree caster) 580 JPY

Milder steering response than the kit standard front hub carrier, the 6 degree front hub carrier provides improved steering during corner exit, helping to reduce understeer. Very effective on high speed corners.


■B7-SS05:Suspension mount spacer (0.5mm, for 1 car) 1,280 JPY (Available late April-early May)
■B7-SS08:Suspension mount spacer (0.8mm, for 1 car) 1,280 JPY (Available late April-early May)
■B7-SS10:Suspension mount spacer (1.0mm, for 1 car) 1,280 JPY (Available late April-early May)

Convenient design allows the suspension mounts to be raised quickly, as neither the suspension mount nor screws need to be removed.td>

■B7-003H:High traction upper deck 1,800 JPY (Available May 2013)

Compared to the kit standard 2.0mm thick upper deck, this thinner version will help improve overall grip on low grip surfaces. However this upper deck can also be used to optimize chassis stiffness where speeds are regulated as in stock class racing, and even in high grip conditions.

Yokomo Main Gear Shaft
[YOKB7-644]

Amain is running low on parts. Where can I get a main gear shaft? Is there an alternative part I can use?.

screw needs to be countersunk flat head. This will work in a pinch, my only reservations are that its aluminum. Just be more careful with this than the stock screw.

Great work KsChu. Your car looks way planted on the track.

I am running the same rear toe, but only running 13.5 blinky on asphalt track here in Sydney.

Keep up the good work.

Regards,

Calvin
