So got a race report here:

For the first round of our FMRC Winter Series on indoor carpet, FOSS EcoFi Status Ozite, track conditions were very tight lanes, about 6ft - 7ft lanes. Traction was about a Med-High I would say in comparison to say CRC Black Ozite. We are allowed to sauce so I used SXT 3.0.

Big thing as always on our track is rotation and torque. You really need to choose your lines for passing and with it being a very small track (sub 10 second times are possible when really going), you bobble and you could be down a lap before you know it.

First Heat:

During practice I started with some slightly worn cactus tires and felt they had sufficient traction to rotation decided to stick with them versus a fresh set. This was a good idea as based on my CAL3 running with a newer set, it wasn't as good. From the start I had a bit more push than I liked but the car was consistent, no weird kick out on the rear. I managed to TQ the round here with the fastest lap of 9.791 however my consistency could be better. Based on what I was seeing, I ended up changing the following:

- Yellow AE V2 front springs

Heat Two:

Since the car was good before, I decided to try and work on consistency and see if any areas I felt I could pick up some improvements. The car had improved rotation but I felt I could still get a bit more. After the resort that happened, I was in the later heat and saw that the first heat top driver didn't geat my previous TQ time so I decided to focus on staying in front but not push it too hard. Was a bit slower this time but still respectable. Based on what I saw I decided to change:

- Down half degree on rear toe


A Main:

This time it was time to let her rip. the few quick pre-race laps I did I felt the car was more free in the rear end like I needed but still very stable. Going back and forth with 2wd to 4wd definitely change the mindset on how I drive, with 4wd being more on power. From the beginning took off and held first the whole race, and based on what the timing system is sayiing looks like I may have lapped the field as well. Had second fastest lap of a 9.775 with the fastest set by another of a 9.430. My consistency though was significantly better and the car was pretty much on rails lol.

Here is the setup I ended with:



based on what I am seeing, for this track I would probably try the following next for a bit more rotation:
- 2mm on rear carrier
- inside position on rear shock tower
- Drop front kickup
- 1 corner pill on RR block versus 0.5 corner pill


Like the DTM3.1/CAL3.1 thread, I think we should also have a YZ4SF2 thread.

IMO this only makes sense with a new iteration of a car (like the mentioned 3.1 versions), but not after a car has already been discussed in a thread for such a long time.

With how things went with covid and all and the car was released just last year, be curious if they update anything, to that level, maybe a running change on front bulkheads.

Gotcha.


So back to some discussions on the car, how have things been working out for you all with the 6 dig carriers?

the wiki has been updated with the 66.5mm bone modification to prevent the ejection of the CVD bone on the rear of the car

That could because the CAL/DTM 3.1 is priced around that. They have had the YZ2T on sale for a long while and there is no word on a new (per me talking to Maifield).

With that, I had the chance to see but of Maifield's cars in Oct. I could see some of the changes to the 2wd, which I asked him about, and the 4wd didn't have anything new on it that I could see. I don't suspect to see a new 4wd within a year.

You are able to use the AE spur if I'm not mistaken if you are going below 80T.
