The car utilises a carbon fibre double deck chassis design, front and rear carbon fibre shock towers and a belt-driven drivetrain as it has become a standard recently.

Adjustable upper deck stiffeners allow to fine-tune the chassis’ torsional flex and various battery positions help to adapt the weight balance to a variety of track conditions and driving styles. Other features include a front bumper with integrated 30mm motor fan mount, front and rear swaybars as well as as quick change brass balance system integrated into the bulkheads.

RC Maker BD9 Medius Mid CentraFlex top deck

RC Maker have introduced their new CentraFlex top deck for the Arrowmax Medius Mid conversion on the Yokomo BD9. Tested with some of the fastest Yokomo drivers in the world, RC Maker have developed optimised flex characteristics as seen from their successful Awesomatix CentraFlex. The top deck promises a big improvement in mid-exit and high speed steering while also making the car easier to drive due to the increased rigidity at the front of the top deck. The part also features a 3.5mm hole for use with a BD9 Motor-mount post. This hole is fitted to an optional Awesomatix ST019 special set screw, which allows the top deck to pivot but not flex upwards as a normal set screw would allow. Racers can also use a standard 3mm screw here to lock the top deck down. The upper deck is designed to provide ample clearance for all spur and pinion sizes and it is precision CNC machined in Australia from high quality carbon fibre.
