We'll see when we get hands on with the parts. It would have to be pressed in, interference fit like when touring cars used to have a front one way "diff". From the pics it looks like theres enough room inside the back of the out drive to have a 1 way bearing.

Thrust balls on a slipper is weird. I haven't seen that before.

Its funny, the old SF2 just had an awesome run on Saturday night with a TQ and win. My cars always seem to go really well right after I order a new kit to replace it!

Got the build almost done, just need to put my aluminum rear carriers on that came in:
Few things:
- 12mm springs will fit on the stock 13mm shock no modifications needed
- Avid B74.2 Shock mounts will work with the Yokomo shocks, gives a nice trick look
- There is definitely a lot of milling work that went on to lighten the bulkheads, diff securing mounts that go into them , etc.
- The oneway slipper is very interesting, just be careful not to lose the balls when building that thrust bearing part
- my 66.5mm CVD mod works on the car but with the droop and tower changes may not be necessarily at all
- turnbuckles are shorter than the SF2, so keep that in mind if going to use some titaniums from your previous kit, it will work though
- Protek B74.2 side guard modification works on the new chassis plate
- Drilled out stock pistons to go 1.7mm x 2 F, 1.8mm x 2 R. suspension feels really good like this.

*** RACE REPORT ***
RC Underground in MN 2023 - 2024 Winter Series Rnd 1
So at this race would be the debut for me of the SO 2.0, MO 2.0, and my take on a "TO 2.0", an updated YZ2T stadium truck to what I felt would be TO 2.0 specs as much as possible.
The carpet for this year had been updated to EOS Offroad Carpet and the track lengthened with a long wall ride now on one side. Heard estimates of 45 - 48ft x 90 - 100ft or so.
This layout was definitely challenging with some key areas to make a pass as well as a jump on the longest straight that if you hit it oddly could pitch your car upwards onto a flat landing causing a wheelie effect if you pushed it hard.
The Series also attracted even more top flight drivers from around the region bringing the competition level up as well.
MO 2.0:
4wd as anyone who knows me is my favorite class, so was looking forward to giving this a go especially with the front one way. I configured the car with these bigger changes:
- 1.7mm front, 1.8mm piston rear
- AE V2 Springs
- Tekin RS Pro ESC, Tekin Gen4 13.5 Spec Motor with HT Rotor, Tekin T180 Servo, Protek 4800mah Lipo
- Weight down to ROAR Minimum
Getting used to the feel of the car, I could tell it felt more consistent landing jumps and a bit more "pull" when offpower. I'd like to play a bit more with the settings of the front oneway as I had it more locked down. Overall could adjust gearing a bit but wanted to not mess with too much stuff running three cars so basically left my initial setting alone.
After the heats I qualified 5th overall, just missing out on breaking into the 17 sec fast lap.
My consistency for the main wasn't as good as with the SO 2.0, I got a few ideas on a couple of changes I plan to make based on some rotation changes I am looking to do, but I did at least get into the 17 sec fast lap so was overlal happy with that, finishing 5th overall against this fast and consistent group.
Big thanks goes out to the RC Underground crew, the various racers at the track who mad the race a fun affair, and my sponsors Yokomo, Protek, and Tekin!

Had my first run with the MO2.0 on Saturday on carpet. I qualified 2nd, with my 2 yokomo teammates 1st and 3rd with their MO2.0's. Unfortunately I drove terribly in the main, but the team still got a 1-2 finish.
The car is nice - it jumps and lands so well. The yokomo 13mm springs are too soft, but still did ok. I had the centre one way set to 9.25mm which I think is a bit too soft. Maybe for stock this might be ok, but the front brakes were not strong enough for my liking. I'll go to 9.5mm next time. I'm not sure about the new outer steering plates - steering felt a bit dead to me. I might try running the old ones next time.

Glad it went well for your Will!
Gotta look to see what setting I got on the steering rack and plates, if its been calmed down too much wonder if you can go to the next forward position on the center steering rack like the old car had? Yeah springs are soft, I think so far the caculations being done by Neal Lewis and others on facebook show the stiffest rear is like an AE V2 12mm Blue for value? The previous cars carpet springs were stiffer than the stiffest AE rear spring, almost curious to try those out again as I think I could have used that a bit more in some roll resistance. Gonna work a bit on setup here. Also, may see about loosening up the oneway a tad.

A note for everyone reading this thread: It seems that some MO2.0 kits are coming with older SF2 slipper spring. Please check that before assembly. Older spring can make your slipper assembly wobble. I'm in touch with yokomo to let them know the issue.
I had my first race this past weekend with my MO2.0. It was a medium to high grip black carpet. I could have never imagined how good this car drives. New shocks are a big step over the older ones. Incredible step over the MO1.0.
