it does fit i, the yokomo plastic spool fits in both, the shooters aluminium spool fits in both, the fastrax steel spool fits in both, the speedtech spool fits in both, the tir spool fits on both. they all do. i have tried all of them apart from the tir ones in the sd and my mates tried all of them including the tir one in the bd, and all fitted fine!!!

Yes, a heavy mass spool will also create understeer. At the Euros, Ben Cosgrove, and Chris Grainger said that our spool gave them an extra 0.2 of a second advantage over other spools.

Buy the heavy duty large bumper and this will increase the durability 10 fold. The bumper helps with steering hubs, most common part to break. Since the BD came out we've replaced only two arms, both rear arms for breaking. But you will need hinge pins as they take the bigest toll. Yokomo parts are not overly priced anyway. The car is very well engineered, fit and finish is nearly perfect as well.

I think you will save about 40-50grams on rotating mass which against all other changes you can make to the car will certainly have the most dramatic effect..

Schumacher USA should be able to help.. If you contact adrian Martinez on 8138899691 he should be able to to supply. Alternatively, shipping to US via website should only take 5days max.
Please let me know how you get on as the parts do make a real difference..
