You could do that or just reach out to someone with your contact info to see if they can get you a copy. The file size is too large to upload here.

Anything else you are wanting to know specifically I can take a look.

Mine is coming it looks like tomorrow. Buddy already has his looking forward to hearing more from his experiences.

I wonder if there will be a dirt version of the SO 2.0?

If not, wonderif it would just need:

- appropriate springs and pistons
- LD style transmission
- ball diff

be curious if that may be all you would need to start over the SO 2.0

Sweet. Thanks. Gives me something to skim tonight.

Planning to get a SO2 next month to replace my aging CAL3.

I'm curious as to the impressions people have with the progression of CAL3 to the 3.1, SO1.0 and now SO2.0. I jumped ship and went the willspeed route last year but have been keeping the suspension and steering components current through the CAL3.1. The 13mm shocks from the SO2.0 are enticing but I'm tempted to go the TLR/Avid route to get to 13mm shocks...at least that way I can keep using the sets of springs that I already have.

Honestly I don't understand the LD gearbox , I only run clay and the LC works much better, maybe for very loose low traction tracks ?

On clay the LC is far superior the centralized weight distribution helps alot.

So really , you just need a ball diff and springs if you intend to run clay.

Also , a AE B6 diff fits great in the YZ2 / SO if your LHS has more AE parts than Yokomo. The only thing that is better (imo) on the Yokomo diff is the grease (otherwise they're pretty on par), the Yokomo ball diff grease (CS-HDL) is magic , I ran a ball diff in 17.5t stock class without a rebuild for a whole season and its still silky smooth...

Even ran my 4wd TLR 22-4 in 13.5 with a rear ball diff for the whole season without a rebuild and same result with the Yokomo grease...

Got mine in here to start building ...

Talking to a buddy who has been building his up from what he is showing and saying 12mm V2 springs will fit on the 13mm shocks and don't appear to need to do the adjustment nut flip like the AE shocks do for fitment. Doenst' look like needed to change to 12mm lower cups either from what I am seeing.

Also, looks like Avid shock mounts for the AE 13mm shocks work on the Yokomo shocks. I got some here to confirm but i am thinking just like I run right now on my current Yokomo with AE shocks, the B74 sized ones will be the ticket I think for spacing.

if other cars at your track are using:

- Gear diff
- Carbon front and rear a-arms
- a LC style tranmission case ( basically others carpet tranny case)

I think yo ucan have a good starting point with the car out of the box. If not, then whatever is common others are using like a ball diff or plastic a-arms you can pick up. I would think the ball diff probably be the item to change over to initially.

It does use 13mm shock bodies, the manual shows it uses 1.mm x 2 6hole front pistons and 1.7mm x 2 hole rear pistons, 2mm thick.

thanks updated my post.

I am curious how they will feel. with the AE 13mm shocks the 1.6mm pistons in teh front had way too much pack. ende dup 1.7mm x 2 up front and 1.9 x 2 hole rear, 2.5mm thick pistons. Be curious then if a 1.7 x 2 hole piston front and 1.8 x 2 hole rear with a 2.0mm thick piston could feel close. I like using Ray Mundays charts on the shocks to get to teh feel I want relative to what i ran with my 12mm shocks in the past.
