The current Xray diffs are 38, but the difference is easily visible.

I agree, I just don't think the image they've used is quite 'true'

Wow that looks awesome. If they make a mirror copy of the motor mount is possible to change the side where you want to install the motor (left to right).hmmm

Actually I think that is what I have been waiting for. A perfectly symmetrical bottom plate to develop my single belt setup. I think this goes on the Christmas list.

I know that the excitement is on the upcoming 16 spec car release, but if anyone is looking for a great deal, Banzai is selling the BD7 15 JMRCA Open Class Spec for 300$. That's basicaly the standard black series plus DCJ, one piece servo mount and Titanium turnbuckles.

just bought used bd7-15`
plan to race it on high grip, smal size (20x12m) carpet track, at Superstock class with 13.5t motors, esc blinky mode.
as I come from offroad to onroad and this will be my first experience at onroad, could you please advice which parts I should keep as spares and which option parts can improve bd7-15` performance on carpet track?

rhodopsine

For spare parts, I would say a set of C hubs, Front arms, rear arms, maybe steering knuckles and a spare spur gear. Of course some 5x10 bearings. In 2 years of racing this car, I only broke one C hub (and that was a pretty nasty crash...)

The rest of what you would need would just be normal maintenance that you replace as they wear out... (belts, ballcups...)

For essential options, I would say the one piece servo mount, shock springs of various rates and front DCJ. Otherwise, the car is pretty complete and very competitive out of the box.

Thank`s Martin!
When will start to setup car, will come with more questions, as setup sheet has many parameters shown which I not understand... but it will ask later.

Hardijs - you don't necessarily have to buy the Yokomo DCJ's. There are a number of aftermarket companies who do DCJ's for the BD7. The Roche are very decent, for a bit cheaper in most cases

Hi all,

Next Sunday will first time drive my Yoko BD7 2014;
Got it used, will drive with Dynamite platinum 13.5 blinky;
Tires LRP CPX 2;

What gearing would be good strarting point?

Out of the box I have 96 64p and 116 64p spurs.
What pionion would I need to get?

skyball

That depends on the track of course. For a wide, speedy track I'd go for a ratio around 4, for a small, technical track I'd go for something like 4.8. So using the 96t spur, you could use pinions in the range from 40 (ratio 4.8) to 48 (ratio 4.0)...
