Most of the tracks around me stock 0 parts and it's just a track. Been eyeballing this kit for a while, I might have to pick one up to do some mod sedan outdoors.

[@seanjay00]

Do you have the xray parts numbers that fit on the bd9?

[@TDKRepair]

Yep, C-Hubs (XRA302383, XRA302384) Steering Hubs (XRA302253 x2), Ideally you want to use a few shims/spacers inside the steering hub in-between the bearings so the hex doesn't crush the bearings when the wheel is tightened. (Not necessary but increases durability of the bearing significantly). The spacing of the bearing seating inside the steering hub is slightly thinner than the stock Yokomo ones.

The xra302364 works too ?

Can't say I have had a problem at all with the BD9 and its durability, had it since it's release in the UK and the only thing I have had to replace is 1 rear belt due to my error of not tightening bulkheads off after adjusting + a stone chip getting into the drive chain in 13.5 class. I have just upgraded to the Arrowmax mid conversion and it has changed to car so much, the car gains so much time around hair pins due to the increased flex at the back end of the car. I would really run a DBX over the Hellcat, though it's more aggressive, it is overall a faster shell to run, though if you're having trouble with the back, 2.6 long at the back and 2.7 front will stop the back end of the car coming out at the corner entry and wont need the "safety" of the Hellcat. I've found the Hellcat is very safe to drive, but because the front of the car is so long, it makes it suffer a lot with corner entry speed. Either way good video!

[@TDKRepair]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the info, I've ran the DBX a lot and I have achieved less than .1 sec faster of a lap, but the consistency was not there for our layouts. The Hellcat is like you said, safer, but I can be nearly as fast but much more consistent with it. My current set up for the DBX is 2,8 short up front with 2.5 Axon rear and +.5mm front upper inner ballstud spacing to calm it down. That is the only way the DBX can handle at my local track. I need to keep messing with the rear to gain more stability. I am considering the Arrowmax midus but cannot justify it just yet. Glad to see that you haven't had durability issues with it.

I’m about to get one on trade. Can this be drifted or turned into a drift car?
