Yok uses 2mm outer hinge pin, TC4's is 2.4mm. You may need to enlarge the holes on the Yok's arm.

Doesn't appear to need any mods, but the hingepin hole looks a little bigger so there may be more slop with the yok hingepins.
I'll give them a try outdoors this weekend.

yeah would like to know when you do try it.

ok another question if you use the TC4 C-hub on your BD can you use the stock bushing or you have to use the one for TC4?

All it needs to work is:
Drill front arm outer hingepin holes to 2.4mm (2.5 works fine) and use TC4 outer hingepins.
Place a shim under the kingpin on the top of the c-hub (because the tc4 c hub is thinner this is needed for the kingpin to secure properly)
A 1mm shim to go on the outer hingepin, because the tc4 c-hub isn't as wide as the yok hub. To achieve the same camber link angle, place this shim behind the hub, but I might try it in front, which will move the outer end of the links rearwards (hard to understand I know!)
I got mine to fit properly and I'll let you know if they're any good or not.

ok guys I had a bad crash last race, I cracked the front end of my chassis. So instead of buying a stock Yok BD chassis, Does anyone here know where I can get a different chassis here in U.S?

No other chassis is available except from Yokomo. If you are racing on carpet I suggest you buy the stiff chassis.

Here is a better pic of this mod. He shoe-goo'd the fan onto the motor heat sink. BTW...That is a special one off chassis/tower set

Hi, i did exactly the same thing, twice!!! So i contacted a company here in the UK called fiber-lyte, they are currently cutting me a chassis that is missing the 4 cutouts at the very front, as i believe this is what makes the front of the chassis a little weak, and they dont play a part in chassis stiffness. If you contact them they may me able to cut you a chassis, in either 2.4mm or 3mm carbon, although im not sure about shipping to the US. I cant remember their site right now, but if you just google 'fiber-lyte' im sure ull find it.
