This mid-motor conversion kit adapts the Yokomo BD9 RC touring car platform to a mid-motor layout, shifting the motor position from the stock rear location to a central placement inside the chassis. The kit is presented as a chassis-level option for builders who want to explore the handling and balance differences that a mid-motor configuration offers on circuit-focused setups.
The conversion focuses on the mechanical interface between the motor and the BD9 drivetrain, providing mount points and alignment features to position the motor centrally relative to the gearbox and spur assembly. It is intended for scale RC use only and does not apply to any full-size vehicles.
Installation requires disassembly of the original motor mount area and fitting of the conversion components to the BD9 chassis. Expect to check driveline alignment, motor height relative to the spur gear, and any clearances with the electronic speed controller and receiver placement. The kit suits hobbyists familiar with chassis teardown and basic drivetrain adjustments.
As a conversion option for the Yokomo BD9, this kit serves as a modular upgrade to evaluate mid-motor dynamics on track, offering a route for drivers and tuners to change weight distribution and drivetrain layout without replacing the entire chassis.
