In addition, the new shock absorber is the kit standard which is Big Bore Ultra Short Shock dedicated to BD9 produced by collaboration with AXON inc. The biggest feature of BD9 is that it is a machine that everyone can enjoy the race activities at the highest levels, above all, it has a high-class basic design eliminating difficult behavior and more less running cost

The fixing of the battery is not a glass tape stopper that affects the twist of the chassis, but it is a battery holder system that can float to a certain extent. It is also possible to prevent the battery from falling off, saving you the trouble of replacing.
