Yokomo have announced the release of lightweight titanium outer hinge pins for the BD9 touring car. Made to replace the standard steel pins, the lightweight parts will reduce unsprung weight which can result in quicker steering response and faster lap times on high bite surfaces. On lower grip track however they can reduce traction compared to the standard steel parts, meaning they are best used on ETS or CRC black carpet or when running very grippy handout tyres. The pins come as separate 2-piece sets for the front and the rear of the car.
