LCG Racing BD10 narrow style top deck

LCG Racing is busy adding more optionals for popular electric touring cars to their portfolio. The latest is the narrow style carbon fibre top deck for the Yokomo BD10. The flex-design top deck is of a very narrow design in the front area, increasing the chassis’ torsional front flex for increased steering, yet an easier to drive car. However flex in the rear area is greatly reduced due to a smaller cut-out which allows for better on-power stability. The fully symmetrical narrow style top deck is machined from high-quality 2.0mm carbon fibre and it provides for a balanced flex characteristic needed for today’s generation of touring cars and it is a direct fit.
