Speaking of issues i installed Tamiya front ecs drive shafts, as i prefer the clip type to hold the pin in, and they were a pain to get right without the hex clamp binding down on the bearing when you tighten up the wheel nut. I had to modify slightly a set of 3racing clamps to get them to sit at the right spacing so they sit on the pin and not the bearing. A pain but worthwhile.

yeah black bladders for the win, the other thing to make sure is that when you tighten down the cap retainer you are not turning the shock cap as well,

I want to try it, but I don't know what to do.
P.d: I run in pro stock class (same as ets

Arn0 at PetitRC was kind enough to host a set up sheet for us:
I received a question about the outside front camber link. I did not run any shims underneath the ball, but I failed to mention that I switched the ball to an Associated silver ball with 10mm thread. This ball is essentially 1mm higher than the yokomo ball, so it is roughly equivalent to the Yoke +1. The big advantage is in the longer threads, they go deeper inside the steering block and will not strip as easier. The ball ends really increase the durability of your steering blocks.

Just wondering, the ball on the bulkhead... is that the standard silver Yokomo or a shorter neck?
There is a fair amount of shimming on the bulkhead for the standard silver Yokomo?

Standard silver ball end. It allows the car to roll more at the front making it softer. It makes the car easier to drive.

Hey guys,
i have a bit blasphemous question for you. Does anybody know if some other cars spool fit BD7? I would like to race next weekend and yokomo europe is out of stock.
