Yokomo BD11 Touring Car kit, aluminum chassis, US version

Yokomo BD11

The BD10 platform has been a huge success for us. It was clear in advance that improving the car even more would be a challenge. Anyway, now it's time for a completely new racing car platform.

The ideology behind the new design is to meet the demands of end users. We want to create a completely new experience for you, so that you can enjoy racing competitively . Our big priority is the quality and performance of our products. Over the past year, we have frequently called in our factory riders to test and develop this project. Now we are finally ready to introduce you to the brand new BD11 platform .

Thanks to Yokomo's extensive development, the BD11 is user-friendly, easy to work with, and a winner !

US version

The BD11, the world's fastest competition touring car, is now available in a new American specification, equipped with a new aluminum chassis plate.

The 2mm thick high hardness aluminum plate has a fixed specification, without any cutouts to reduce weight. The stiffness of the plate improves stability and lowers the center of gravity, which is ideal for high-grip surfaces such as those found on American indoor tracks. The steering response is improved for a smooth ride and the lowered center of gravity also prevents high-siders caused by excessive grip.

In addition, the US version with an aluminum plate includes settings corresponding to the stiffness of the plate, with 2.1 - 2.4 progressive springs in the front and 1.3 mm front and rear stabilizer made of new material. Additionally, a new rear belt tensioner has been installed to prevent teeth from skipping during sudden acceleration. Thanks to this, the chassis is fully prepared for driving on surfaces with extreme grip.

Properties:

• The US version is built on a hard aluminum chassis plate without cutouts.
• Front springs are progressive 2.1 - 2.4 to balance longitudinal weight transfer.
• Front and rear 1.3 mm stabilizers made of new materials.
• Newly developed rear belt tensioner to suppress teeth skipping during sudden acceleration.
• Pronounced long solid carbon suspension arms are constructed from hybrid plastic and aluminum parts to reduce chassis roll and improve cornering speed.
• The kit is basically equipped with an active rear camber system . This system allows the driver to increase speed when going through a corner, allowing even higher acceleration on the exit!
• The front antlers underwent a dramatic change in shape. Splitting the left and right sides makes the front of the car flexible for optimal feel. Parts to increase stiffness for riding on grippy surfaces will also be available.
• The front double-link half-axles have also been redesigned for improved accuracy and durability. A stabilizer was also installed under the suspension arms to achieve a lower center of gravity.
• The upper plate has a new shape to correspond with the set elasticity of the lower plate. The front side can be used with a stiffener, allowing the stiffness balance to be adjusted according to the surface.
• The rear side of the upper plate is attached by a post, but the side tilt is set to soft, while maintaining the rigidity of the longitudinal tilt, thanks to the placement of the bearings and the fine adjustment of the ground clearance.
• The back side of the top plate has a deflection structure supported by a roller pin with an o-ring insert. This maximizes the torsional flexibility of the chassis for better rear axle traction.
• The front and rear shock absorbers also have newly designed guide rings for even smoother operation.

If you're going to race, it's a good idea to tailor your electronics selection to the category.
Example categories:

• Stock 21.5T - 21.5 threaded motor and governor without timing, approved battery and tires
• Stock 17.5T - 17.5 threaded motor and governor without timing, approved battery and tires
• Stock 13.5T - 13.5 threaded motor and governor without timing, approved battery and tires
• Modified - any engine (eg 4.5T) and timing controller, approved tires

*Specific categories and their regulations may differ at different races - often a selection from the prescribed bodies, or different minimum car weight, etc. is required. We recommend that you study directly where you intend to go.
