Got mine from Elwyn, well say got, will have it when it arrives...

Very helpfull and comes with a Spool, not a one-way, which was exactly what i wanted.

Just hope it doesn't take too long to get here now, got a big meeting in 2 weeks, so would like it all built and with at least 1 good run under it's belt.

Dear russmini,

Thank you for your support.

Your parcel should arrived at your door step in 5-7 working days. Hope you have a good time with the car and share us some tips on the setting.

Cheers,
Elwyn

Is this the list:

BD-002W
BD-003W
BD-302SW
BD-302LW
And the weight plates. (one is BD-BW30)

I think this is the conversion kit unless I am wrong.

Good afternoon;

I just bought a Yokomo BD5W and let me know if anyone has some basic set-up and if possible different uses of the more or less long suspension Arms or differences between the supports of the suspension Arms of different widths.

Regards

Ok guys I'm really skeptical right now of not getting the BD5-W... After driving the Team Magic E4 this past weekend I think I'm sold to Team Magic the car is really easy to drive considering I run MOD I don't have that weight bias problem from left and right... I always like Yokomo and always drove a 2 belt drive vehicle but with Lipo now a daysw it is pain in the A$$ getting the chassis balance... I just got an MI4 PRO LP few weeks ago considering this car is very lipo friendly the car has still have that balance problem. My point is should I get another 2 belt vehicle since they all have the same flatform.

Team Magic E4 everything is right on the Center Line with really Low CG thats what makes the car really easy to drive and setup.

bd5W car is quite balance out from the box....but it's also depend how u move around your electronic things...

Boss Chu,

when you are using the 8mm steering bridge, do you use 1mm or 0.5mm shim with the ball linkage?

Yes, you are right, BD5W is a very well balance car compare to my other cars, as you know how many cars I own..

Btw, saw Volker's car shocks with the option black plastic top cap on it sometimes ago.. Any advantage with it?
