Yokomo BD8 aluminium or Carbon?

[Luke Muldoon]

Hi guys, new to touring cars and I'm heading to Japan and Hong Kong in November and want to do some RC shopping

Been running a YZ2 for a while and love the build quality so toying with the idea of buy a Yokomo BD8.

I'll no doubt be running on carpet in the UK 99% of the time so which chassis should I buy? And does the pitching kit work with both materials?

Are there any must have hop ups I need to get?

I'm hoping to visit RcMart and some stores in Japan and they have a huge selection form what I've seen.

Also what compound tyres are typically used on UK carpets (Not the black ETS stuff)?


Thanks in advance.
