I also heard you mention that there is a stiffer chasiss from Yokomo. Is this chassis what you use all the time now and any part numbers.
Also do you think the new front and rear hubs will be offically released. As the HPI stuff seems difficult to fit with Yokomo bearing (spacing) unless I change to HPI axles as well
Thanks

We only use the hard chassis on carpet BD-002-GH
I don't expect you will see new hubs for the BD, we ran all std parts at the Japan Nats, and all the manufactures are working on off road for next years worlds, so everyone's on road development will slow in 07, then go mad again in 08 for the next on road worlds

but it`s just got a different weave in the carbon to make it harder

To clear all the rumors
the old BD came with a soft chassi, which is crappy if you want to race on carpet
the BD-002GH chassi is really really hard, an therefore very good for carpets of all kinds
BUT the BDM come with a special chassi BD-002MG
It is not as hard as the GH Chassi but much harder than the chassi, that came in the old BDs.
So the plate that came in the old BD has nothing to do with the BDM plate!!

sitting here comparing all three chassis's they all measure the same, the hard chassis is the hardest (guess that explains the name lol) but i'm having a real hard time finding any difference in the bdm chassis the "standard" one part number BD-002G i will assume because there is a different part number for it there is a reason.
anyone tried the new rear hinge pin mounts for the front of the car with the differing toe setting?? what are they for and what are they suppose to do.

more steering in mid corner -> especially good when using a spool
build the car with the soft chassi and than with the bdm
you will find a difference I'm sure
if not built the masami chassi is not hard at all but when ready built it is much harder don't know why

Martin - I think Chris cleared all the rumors, BD/BDM same chassis and a carpet chassis!!

chris is an expert.
But
in this case he is simply wrong the bd and the bdm do NOT have the same chassi looks the same at first sight, but the carbon pattern is different and the bdm plate is harder

Sorry but you are wrong, the chassis on the old std BD, My Kit and The BDM are the same, then there is the hard one that is still 2.5 but a harder weave.
The std chassis now has the cuts removed from the front to make it stronger in a crash, but is the same stiffness as the std one, but this is why the new part number
Please believe me I was in the Yokomo factory Tokyo two weeks ago..

I believe you, you should know this.
But I have built 4 BDMs since end of july and a friend of mine has the old std bd and his car is definately softer than mine is. we changed the chassi plates and then his car was much stiffer than mine was then with his chassi.
I really don't know, but still believe the bdm is stiffer than the old bd.
but to be honest .. who cares .. this car rocks :-)
