I saw speedtech had all of it in and thus ordered it. Impressed with service and would recommend them to anyone.

When grip is poor, I have lose rear traction when exiting out of corner under full throttle. I use harder front to make it slight understeer even at full throttle ( Actually I should exit softer and not full throttle ).

I saw that on Masami BD he put the steering linkage under the ackerman plate and knuckles. Different with standard position. It looks similiar to LCG linkage position.
Is there any different on the car's driving characteristic for this tip?

I don't think it gives any handling difference but it helps to iron out bumps by giving a bit more travel and it helps to stop the steering linkages popping off in a crash.

Cheers Pops, moving the steering linkage under the bellcrank makes no difference at all. It just looks tidier.

Chassis
Anyone know if the new Yokomo BD chassis is available, if so where can I order it? I just chipped the front of my standard chassis, so i would prefer to order the new ine, for carpet running.
Thanks

Hopefully they will release a thicker top deck out of the same material/process.

I'd love to see them make an octagonal weave pattern chassis. Super stiff, super thin, but super expensive.
