Default New to Yokomo BX,any suggestions?
Hi guys.
After seeing one of these cars in action and the oportunity was made available to own one of these cars I just couldnt resist.
Ive seen the BX run in mod,driven by a very good driver and i was super impressed. I also own a 501X and Im interested in running both these cars alternating between the two for kicks. Im happy with my modded 501 but think the Yoke would be a great car to drive and race. Just thought I'd ask your opinions on what the car needs before i set it up if anything. Thankyou in advance-Jason

not sure that you need ceramic diff balls. get the longer rear shafts (or alternately b4 or 50mm rb5/zx5 rear shafts) and the spring set and you'd be pretty much set. also the hardened driveshafts are necessary. standard ones fall apart.

there are some spares available on rc-tech http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=194786

Thankyou for your help. Do you need longer rear shock shafts to give the car more 'DROOP'? Is the car a little slippery in the rear? I'll be racing on some very slippery/dusty tracks.

extra droop makes the car more stable. its not slippery at the rear.
