Dont know about relying on Martin, hes been very quite of late, maybe hes moving onto another car after hearing no new car until 2010, and Chris moving on.
The BD is still a fair car but you gotta get a bit sick of the same car for about 6 years, anyway thats what i think.

Just wanted to clear something up before I move on, Yokomo not releasing a car till 2010 is not correct, they are constantly testing and Realise people want a new TC, there is one coming, as for when, well it will be when its ready. Maybe Spring/summer or late 09 or 2010, your guess is a good as mine, so please don't think nothing will come before 2010 as that may not be correct..
This was not my reasons for leaving, had a great run at Yokomo wanted to move on and work with a British Company for a change..
Martin will look after you he is a Top guy
Thank you all

Chris, Good Luck with your future ventures with Shumacher,and it was a pleasure to catch you in Thailand. Just stay away from the ants 
Does any one have a link or information for a replacement BD top deck thats a bit stronger than the standard one?

if you are looking for a stronger topdeck i'm developing a new one....you can download CAD model on my blog: http://yokomo-fan.blogspot.com/ later it will be avaible on my blog in limited quantities (i'm looking for a waterjet factory that could cut cf...)
Ciao!

top deck and other small parts are really easy to do (waterjet cutted), chassis requires much more works (CNC milling machine)
....however i'm activating to do some new parts including a stiffer chassis for the BD (3mm thicknes on crest design)....but i'm waiting for my friend new CNC machine is ready to work....
top deck are on the way i'll receive the prototype soon and if all work correctly i think to the end of this month will have some ready....., but i'll make only limited quantities, when will be avaible i can ship worldwide for sure.....
if you know someone with a CNC machine you can do it by yourself , download the cad model on my blog (the model is in "beta" version becouse i still don't have my prototype done)
SDW chassis was an experiment to run foams on carpet, i've done one only chassis sorry, but same here you can download the CAD model.

capellone24,
I'd be very interested in a thicker top deck when you have them made.

Calvin.
