Hot Selling RC Maker SlimFlex 2.2mm Carbon Chassis for Yokomo BD11

Introducing the third in RC Maker SlimFlex range of Enhanced Carbon Chassis’, the Yokomo BD11. Tested and developed for months alongside our team drivers, we have developed a chassis that we feel improves on the original chassis in many areas!

We have narrowed the chassis all round to provide less scrubbing in corners, leading to increased corner speed. This increases flex, so to counteract this, we have recessed the diff and spool cutouts instead of cutting them all the way through. Not only does this bring the chassis back up to our desired amount of flex, it also improves aerodynamic performance by not preventing air from under the chassis being forced up into the car, detrimental to downforce. Overall, the chassis is slightly stiffer than the kit chassis, and provides improved response.

Possibly the biggest change from the kit chassis, the rear suspension mounting holes have been narrowed by 0.75mm each side which provides a 1.5mm narrower rear end than the standard chassis. This gives the car a nice split in front to rear track width which ultimately increases the cars steering and rotation in slower corners, response through chicanes and provides more confidence in the rear on power. 

An important structural feature of this chassis is the shallower countersinks which provide much greater strength to the holes in the chassis. With the suspension arms of the BD11 being so strong, it places a lot of pressure on these holes holding the suspension arms, and the kit chassis featuring unnecessarily deep countersinks is very brittle in this area with many drivers pulling screws through the chassis. We have put our chassis through the paces with several drivers reporting several crashes without issues!

It’s important to note that the countersinks are just deep enough for low profile screws like the steel ones included in the kit. You will have to use either the standard Yokomo steel countersunk screws or a very low profile aftermarket countersunk screw with sharp edges in order to have the screws sitting flush or below in the chassis.

We have also added additional holes to the chassis that will fit our Weight Shift Adjustable Front Weights for the Awesomatix at the front, as well as a hole that will fit our Floating Electronics Plate Set for XRAY X4! (Carbon, Brass). This stacks a nice amount of floating weight where it’s needed most under your transponder and receiver

All of these features combined bring you a chassis which is stronger, more responsive and provides more rotation and on power rear traction than the kit chassis, as found by our team drivers. 

Our chassis are precision cut and countersunk on our CNC machine, in house in Australia from High Quality 3K 2.2mm carbon.
