Often the Holy Grail of going to an IFMAR Worlds event is to win the coveted Championship title, and recently Yokomo’s Ronald Volker finally achieved his life-long goal. He did it driving from 2nd on the grid, showing that his accomplishments take a high-level of skill, but also a car with razor sharp handling and corner speed. Obviously, this garners a lot of attention for the car he was driving, but unfortunately wasn’t available to the public- until now. Soon to be released at the end of October, the new BD8 has all the refinements and improvements over the previous BD7 and was seen on Volker’s car when he won. Let’s take a closer look.
Something Yokomo did carry over from the BD7 was the use of the X braces to help fine-tune the bulkhead flex. High-quality dual joint front driveshafts help to improve steering.
A new lighter weight motor mount with flex system moves the motor more inboard for better weight distribution, while the 20T center pulley is one-piece to keep the flex as uninterrupted as possible.
A new floating servo mount runs along the center line.

New graphite-reinforced suspension parts help the car react better in certain conditions.
The kit is also highlighted by the incorporation of SLF 2 big bore shocks and the RTC-named rear toe control system.
