This is the Yokomo BD7 2016 Black Series 1/10 Electric Touring Car Kit. The theme for the 2016 BD7 is a super low center of gravity, featuring an extremely low design for overwhelming cornering speed and throttle response. The design also incorporates small sized differential pulley, which required a redesign of all the related parts, including the black anodized aluminum parts, included as standard. The short big bore shocks have also been reworked to be a highlight of the updated 2016 platform. Users will also find the BD7 2016 includes the optional Front Double Joint Universals (YOKB7-010FWC) as standard equipment.
Lower CG's
The lower the center of gravity, roll and pitch due to shifting weight load decreases, reducing ground load variation for the individual tires, while also preventing attitude change, providing both calm and responsive driving. In turn, higher center of gravity (current among touring cars in any brand) makes it harder to stabilize the behavior of machines in the touring car racing scene, requiring measures to enhance the shocks and stabilizers to reduce pitch and roll, and tracking to track gap, such as high speed / high grip in recent years. Building on the Yokomo accumulated know-how, they have made a surprising step forward by refining the basic performance of the BD7 2016
