BD7/BD5 Rear Double-Joint CVD with Thin Inner Bearing - Yokomo BD-010RW  [BD-010RW]

Installation Guide: Rear CVD for BD7/BD5

This double-joint universal drive was developed by Yokomo for 1/10 scale RC touring cars and carries competition pedigree from the 2012 world championship. The extra joint between dogbone and axle evens torque transfer as the rear suspension moves, helping to reduce the drop in cornering speed when the axle articulates.

In operation, the rear double-joint CVD delivers more consistent drive through suspension travel by keeping engagement more continuous and cutting driveline lash at steep angles. The assembly expects a thin-type inner axle bearing; use the bearing packaged with the unit or the specified replacement BB-105T2 to match clearance needs.

Fitting follows standard CVD replacement practice on Yokomo BD-series rear hubs: confirm bearing thickness before assembly, ensure the dogbone seats fully, and rotate the hub through full suspension travel to check for free movement before final tightening. Racers commonly fit this piece to stabilise rear traction and preserve corner exit speed across compression and rebound cycles.

Choose this rear double-joint CVD when you need steadier rear drive on BD7/BD5 family cars, and verify the thin inner axle bearing (included or BB-105T2) before completing assembly.
