Yok for life!!! I don't care what it costs, or the "value" of the kit. I just got my 2 kits with ALL the option parts, and can't wait to build them! I've been a Yok fan since I got my first Yokomo back in 1989 and have had pretty much every Yokomo car (except for drift cars) that have been made. Even had my "Project Yokomo" on the cover of RC Car Action with the Corally "Coral" aluminum chassis!! And have owned a couple of Masami's used cars over the years (percs of having friends at Car Action) I'm Dying here at work with my Kit Boxes next to me and I have 2 more hours before I can leave and play with my new TOYS!! Good luck to everyone building and racing their cars this weekend, I wont be able to race mine until after thanksgiving.

At least there wont be an option pack upgrade to run on another surface for this car, at least for a long long time, thats the problem with Schumacher, there is always another upgrade a few months down the line that will cost you oodles of cash, and all because they hashed it out in a rush, never have cared for the brand, over done, over complicated and fragile.

I am just now making the switch from Schumacher to Yokomo. Loved my SV2, but the K1 aero was pain in the arse.
Got both the YZ-2 and YZ-4 kits last night. Not in a rush to build because our track is a Party store right now... Will be ready after Christmas.
So far the YZ-2 is an easy build. I have always loved the way Yok parts index together.

Hello,
To change the oil in the differential, it must take time?
It is necessary to remove many parts, isn't it?

Gents, trying to get some stainless steel counter sunk screws for the underside of the chassis for yz-4 before it arrives, seen many of you guys have already build the buggy and I am unable to find the manual over the Internet, any kind soul can let many know how many counter sunk needed for the under chassis and length?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Not sure if they have a stainless screw kit put together for the YZ4 however I believe you can build a Kit. Highjy likely they will have every screw size you need.
Best,

[QUOTE=Cmgreen;14273107]I would suggest that you have built the K1 wrong then, Typical user error and blame the manufacturer
How is suspension popping off user error you would think in 2015 they would design a better way to mount suspension, and belts that are paper thin, and arms that are weak,if that is user error than l'm guilty and FYI I have been in the hobby since my Tamiya frog in 1984 and have built more kits than you have hot meals so go play somewhere else rookie

My Schumacher kf2 works great and I haven't broken a thing, some people just have better luck with some kits than others. I also owned the durango dex410 and never broke a thing while others broke all the time. I even know people who have had the AE b44 and never broke a front arm ( true story ) Let's stop the brand bashing in all these threads and talk about the car the threads about for once.

Finished my build. My first thoughts are I shouldn't ordered most of the hop ups. They'll be here Monday. My opinion only thing needed is rear aluminum suspension blocks for adjustability and the narrow belt system. The stock belt are too tight but after doing 4 bench packs, drivetrain is getting loose. So I guess you have to break in like you would do ball diffs. Also car is roughly 130 grams lighter then my Bmaxx4.
