T-Works BD8 alloy motor & floating servo mount set

T-Works have released the aluminium motor mount and floating servo mount set for the Yokomo BD8 touring car. The assembly consists of the floating servo mount and steering set, the motor mount and also a carbon fibre centre stiffener with all parts also being available separately and as convenient combo set. Using the parts on their own or in combination allows to widely adjust the chassis flex by using the standard – chassis mounted – steering or a floating steering arm setup, the carbon fibre chassis brace allows to take influence in the centre flexibility while the rear motor mount is understood to also allow for chassis flex adjustments while offering a motor fan mount for 30mm and 40mm units. The stubby mount directly attaches to the motor bulkhead and thus does not disturb natural chassis flex. All parts include suitable mounting hardware in the form of gold-anodised screws.
