The Yokomo BD10LC 1/10 4WD Electric Touring Car Kit utilizes the acclaimed BD10 platform, depended upon by expert drivers for high drivability and turning performance and has now been evolved even further. BD10LC kit is equipped with standard suspension and with RTC (rear toe control) suspension, with a total of four lineups of graphite chassis specification and aluminum chassis specification, making it easy to tune your car according to the running conditions.
The graphite chassis can handle a wide range of road surface conditions, with the aluminum chassis available to expertly control high-grip road surfaces. LCR is equipped with RTC (rear toe control) suspension that has significant effect on turning performance and control. The angles of inner suspension pins and toe changes during the suspension stroke can be customized and adjusted, enabling high-level cornering.
The updated front shock tower has been significantly lowered vs the previous BD10 model, resulting in a smoother steering feeling. Experience less twitch and vibration at high speed, resulting in better, smoother tire performance. The front and rear upper bulkheads are changed to a two hole upper link design, resulting in significant weight reduction with the change of shape and removal of materials. The redesigned AXON hexagon hub and axle sleeve have been integrated to improve traction and rotation efficiency, delivering less rotating mass and no free movement between parts. This machine is ready to take to the track and prove its worth.

Yokomo BD10LCR 1/10 4WD Electric Touring Car Kit (Graphite)
My first 'competition' level touring car so I can't compare it with the xray etc, but so far it is amazing. A few others in my club have them and do very well. I made podium in B-main my very first time driving this car and class - A lot better than I thought I'd do. It's easy to drive and corners amazingly.
This car seems to be a similar design of competitor to the xray t4 2021 with ARS (yokomo calls it RTC), so it seems yokomo is a bit behind as they don't have an A/V arm type model like the mugen mtc2 or xray x4 yet but this car can still hold its own against them. People in my club have numerous makes and they've all won. I would imagine the newest designs out there can be a bit better in the right hands but it will be years before I need anything better! This thing is beyond my capability even in a stock class.
Hard to say how effective the RTC is, and the manual doesn't explain the settings at all, although there is a Youtube video that explains the shims somewhat but it is a bit confusing. Says with no shims it's 0.5deg change and with instructed shims it's 0 Degree change. I have a setup station coming soon to verify exactly what is going on there.
About the manual - it's not great - actually the manual it comes with is only in Japanese so you have to download the English one online (here or other sources) if you don't read Japanese - and I strongly recommend it because there are a few little gotchas that you will miss and assemble wrong if you can't read it.
Not sure I'm a fan of the new 'super hub' style that cars are going to - instead of traditional hexes it's got the hexes as part of a sleeve that goes over the axle, so if you need more offset to fit specific wheels you have to use shims... you could convert back to traditional hexes easily by replacing the 8 bearings in the hubs to one mm smaller I.D.
TIPS:
Be ridiculously careful of the included aluminum screws if you use them, they are super weak - dont use more than 2 or 3 fingers to hold the hex driver or you'll snap a head off - first hand experience.
The Amain video on the bd10 says you have to remove the top deck to get to the motor pinion - false...
It's a perfectly straight shot with a hex driver to the pinion set screw from under/below the chassis. Make sure you put the pinion on as show in the manual - set screw out - otherwise it'll chew up the belt. (again learned the hard way)
