Did you happen to get that body back yet to see if it will fit your YZ-2? I must know!

Anyone have a part number for the right 3x1.4mm flat shock piston to fit a YZ-2?
...or any suitable 3 hole piston blank that I can drill out?

The b5m pushed like a truck on ice vs the ymax. The ymax drives like a on-road on vs the b5m.
I doing some changes on the b5m today to see if I can get it near the ymax steering wise.
Feels easy to drive don't get me wrong. I was just slower by a lot with the b5m vs the ymax..
All this is my take on it.
I have a rb6 coming to test.
My buddy got his rb6 Friday and drove it sat and he was faster with it over his b5m. By a lot.
He too have a ymax. He felt the rb6 shock package was better and felt more relaxed driving it vs his ymax. The ymax to me fits a type of driver that don't make many mistakes BC if you do It can bite you . where as the rb6 sideways battery layout is a little more forgiving and want bite you as hard. Just what I felt driving both the rb6/ymax.
Both the ymax and rb6 steering are on rails.
How I rank them
Shock package rb6
Steering both 100%
Parts both 100%
Hopups in the kit Yokomo

1. B5m
2. Rb6
3. Ymax

We are going to try the rb6 shocks on the Yokomo

I too like the ymax. I did a back to back test with b5m same ESC RSX same motors 24k 17.5t same tires.

I also drive both cars. I raced both last night as a matter of fact. The RB6 isn't even on the same level as the YZ2 as far as consistency for the way I drive. I'm running intermediate right now but my lap times with the Yok would have had me qualified 6th last night for Expert stock. Ran 2 more laps and only 2-4 tenths difference in top5 top10 and top15. The Rb6 is a second+ difference for each
On high bite you can't get the RB6 to give a little around the fast corners of the track like the Yok does. The Yok will slide a bit and is so much harder to traction roll giving you much more entry and exit corner speed. I feel like the Rb6 has me on my toes the whole race, the Yok is just easier to drive.
Let a couple of heads drive it to yesterday before racing started, let's just say there will be a couple more yz's at the track soon

Was your yokomo the Y-Max or the Laydown stock yokomo.
We both did the Laydown tranny and your right the stock yz2 will not traction roll.
Our track is not high bite. If it was we would run the Laydown tranny.
We have tried the SMC weight and change stuff still didn't work lap times wise vs the conversion like Lee Martin Y-Max.
When we go to a high bite track the good news is we can change to the Laydown tranny and be money.
Thanx for your input sir. Wonderful.
How do you feel about the shock rb6 shocks vs the yokomo?

I'm running an B5m now and I had that same problem with it pushing I went with 3-hole 1.4 tapered Pistons taper sid down, kyosho springs gold in the front and white in the rear. I turned the rear camber mount to where the -2 is up then put 2mm washer under the ball stud. Then I have the aluminum rear hubs and put 3mm washers under that ball stud. Make sure the front axles are moved back and the rear hubs in the middle.
