The BD10 platform was a huge success for us. Making a car even better was always going to be a challenge. Moving forward, the time has come for a completely new touring car platform. The ideology behind the new design is to meet the demands of the customers. We want to create a whole new experience for you to enjoy racing competitively. We prioritize the quality and performance of our products seriously. In the past year, our factory drivers were called upon to test and develop this project extensively. Finally, we are ready to present to you the all-new BD11 touring car. Designed and developed extensively by Yokomo, The BD11 is user-friendly, extremely easy to work on and is a winner!
The front shock tower has undergone a dramatic shape change. By separating the left and right sides, the front area is flexed for optimum feel. Optional parts to increase rigidity for driving on high-grip surfaces, etc., will also be released.
The front double-joint universal has also been newly designed for improved precision and durability. The stabilizer is also installed under the suspension arms to promote a lower center of gravity.
The distinctive graphite high-rigidity long suspension arms are constructed with a hybrid of resin and aluminium parts to reduce chassis roll and improve cornering speed.
The kit is equipped with the RTC (Rear Toe Control) system as standard. This system allows the driver to increase the turning speed while bringing out the acceleration of the vehicle as it exits a corner!
The upper deck has a new shape to match the chassis flex settings. The front side can be used with a stiffener, allowing the rigidity balance to be adjusted according to track conditions.
The upper deck rear side is fixed by a post, but the side to side roll is set to move with the natural chassis flexibility, while the front to rear pitching is rigid with the use of the bearing.
Presenting the "Active Top Deck Flex". The rear side of the upper deck has a flex structure with roller pin support that is adjusted with O-rings n between. This maximizes chassis torsion for better rear traction.

Ultra low centre of gravity stabilizer sway bars that are mounted under the suspension arm. The action of the sway bar is different to the BD10 due to the wider mounting positions on the chassis.
The front and rear shock absorbers also have newly designed shaft guides for even smoother operation.
