Yokomo BD11 Aluminium Chassis Competition Touring Car, US Style

Yokomo BD11

The ideology behind the new design is to meet the demands of the end users. We want to create a whole new experience for you to enjoy racing competitively. We prioritise quality and performance of our products seriously. In the past year, our factory drivers were called upon to test and develop on this project extensively. Finally, we are ready to present to you the all-new BD11 touring car.

Designed and developed extensively by Yokomo, The BD11 is user-friendly, extremely easy to work on and is a winner!

US version

The 2mm-thick high-strength aluminum main chassis is a solid spec, with no cutting of any parts to reduce weight. The strength of the chassis improves stability and lowers the center of gravity, making it ideal for the ultra high-grip surfaces found in American indoor racing. It optimizes steering response for smooth driving and prevents high-sides caused by overgrip.

The US aluminum chassis version also features suspension tuning to match the rigidity of the main chassis, with 2.1-2.4 progressive springs installed in the front and 1.3mm front and rear sway bars made of a new material. In addition, a new rear belt tensioner has been installed to prevent the belt from jumping teeth during sudden acceleration, making it possible to be fully prepared for driving on high-grip surfaces.

Features:

• The US style is based on a hard type aluminum chassis with no wall cutting.
• Front springs are 2.1-2.4 progressive springs to match the pitching characteristics.
• Front and rear sway bars are 1.3mm sway bars made from new materials.
• A newly developed rear belt tensioner is standard equipment to suppress tooth jumps during rapid acceleration.
• Distinctive graphite high-rigidity long suspension arms are constructed with a hybrid of resin and aluminum parts to reduce chassis roll and improve cornering speed.
• Kit is equipped with the RTC (Rear Toe Control) system as standard. This system allows the driver to increase the turning speed while bringing out the acceleration of the vehicle as it exits a corner!
• Front shock tower has undergone a dramatic shape change. By separating the left and right sides, the front area is flexed for optimum feel. Parts to increase rigidity for driving on high-grip surfaces, etc., will also be released.
• Front double-joint universal has also been newly designed for improved precision and durability. The stabilizer is also installed under the suspension arms to promote a lower center of gravity.
• Upper deck has a new shape to match the chassis flex settings. The front side can be used with a stiffener, allowing the rigidity balance to be adjusted according to road conditions.
• Upper deck rear side is fixed by a post, but the roll is set to move flexibly while maintaining pitching rigidity through bearing retention and fine clearance adjustment.
• Rear side of the upper deck has a flex structure with roller pin support with O-rings sandwiched in between. This maximizes chassis torsion for better rear traction.
• Front and rear shock absorbers also have newly designed shaft guides for even smoother operation.

If you are going to race it, it's appropriate to fit your electronics choice according to the category.
