The "old" 4-gear car wins the EOS race this weekend:


Doh! Someone talk the marketing guy off that ledge!

4 gear laydown vs 3 gear laydown : Jury still out. Interesting that LM car seemed to have less corner entry steering, an alleged symptom of 3 gear. Wonder if the suspension setups were the same?

Looking for a used YZ-2. Anyone sell this car?
My Location is Germany and PayPal is possible.

The 3 gear in this car probably doesn't have as much as an effect compared too the b5/22 because of how low it is comparatively.

the incubus

Hmm… Not sure I like what they've done for dirt with the DT "upgrade" kills the whole reason for me getting a YZ to begin with. Going to have to tinker to get it dialed in it's original Laydown form for dirt. If I can't get it dialed how I need I will likely sell or trade it for something meant for dirt. Maybe a B5M/Lite?

I was only able to do a single test run before yesterday's race but after weeks of rain here, the track was loose and poorly conditioned on Saturday, and Sunday was only a smidgen better so I opted to run the PRS1 instead. Either day it was a difficult day due to low grip on 70% of the track. It sure was easy on tires though. 2 qualifiers and the main and the tires look as if I took it out for a single lap. Supercup is the 13th and I will be practicing the full day before to see what I can get out of the YZ-2. Hope it's positive with the few changes I've implemented.

It would be really cool if Yokomo took a hint from Xray and made the diff easy access in the 3 gear boxes. This is a cool time in RC cars...so many good models!!

Any pics of the new dirt chassis

It's otherwise the same chassis with different holes.

I'm hoping the new chassis comes with both holes.

The current YZ-2 works great on my Home CLAY track. I'm not sure I'll sold on having to run a "dirt" edition of the car. I might be willing to convert one of mine over but not a fan of having to buy a whole new kit.

I run my YZ-2's on medium to high bite clay and they are doing quite well. Like KracOn, I'll probably pick up the standard 3 gear to use as an option if I can drill a pair of holes and drop it in.

I'm all for more options and appreciate Yokomo offering the 3 gear standard and 3 gear lay down. Having said that, the Yokomo guys moved from the 3 gear standard to the 4 gear BMax at the Reedy Race on some low to medium bite clay and somebody just pointed out that Rheinhard won the last EOS with the lay down 4 gear. 3 gear may help sometimes but 4 gear will be nice to have around.

I'm running my yz2 on medium to high bite clay and love it, I did pick up a bmax2 trans to try out but as of now I'm not seeing the need...

I hope there'll be a conversion available soon.
