Yokomo has released an updated BD7 touring car for the 2014 racing season. CML Distribution shares the inside scoop on the all-new car!

  

   

  

The BD7 2014 is a true evolution of Yokomo's top of the line 1:10 electric touring car, having benefited from engaging in numerous competitive races in Europe -- the center of touring car racing. It has proven its strength around the world, and even as its rivals have lagged behind each passing year, it is making a brilliant step forward into the next frontier.

The BD7 2014 features a motor mount located at the center of the chassis, and a redesigned steering bellcrank. While improving the driving response, it achieved both better handling of high-speed turns while maintaining grip.

The shock cylinders employ high-quality low-friction hard anodized aluminum to greatly reduce internal friction of the shocks, which absorbs shock from the slightest gap in the track surface to dramatically improve control.

In addition to the standard kit featuring blue anodized parts, a limited quantity Black Series model with its illustriousness resembling that of a black diamond will be available.

The BD7 2014 has elevated both performance and appearance to a form of art.
