Yokomo MR4TC BD4

Yokomo MR4TC BD4 by Murdock

The ever so classic Yokomo BD platform. The touring car that changed the game. My rebuild started with a Yokomo BD4 that was stripped down, and missing the some parts. This chassis required a lot of parts sourcing and TLC (Tender Loving Care) to get it fully restored. Most BD and SD parts can be found in the US. Some SD parts seem to fit the BD as well. I got a lot of my parts from Driftspeed, eBay, and Banzai Hobbies. Getting this chassis going was mainly cleaning and replacing parts. Man that’s A LOT of Parts…. LOL

Here are some resources and my build
