I mainly race prostock 17.5 and am considering selling my mod car (v3 as well) and just having the yz2 and v3 to do back to back testing with to see which one will be the car I run at stock nats. If your interested we might be able to work out a deal on that car. These cars are just as good as the b5m if not better (I switched to a b5m to see and went back to a yok cause it feels more stable, is lighter(1546 with all aluminum pieces) and is just as strong as the b5m).
The car has just beem shipped locally in Japan today. First test run of product. production runs for export (to Europe and US) are ongoing and will leave Japan in the new year. ship date to Europe is still the 9th Jan.
Designer Shin Adachi was running the first car on clay in Japan on 29th Dec. waiting for Japanese reports/photos, and will report.
Car looks to be lighter and leaner than bmax 2 v3. looking at the weight bias options it should work well on high bite clay as well as astro and medium traction tracks. I'm looking to test mine on indoor low to medium traction tracks initially, certainly lower traction than damp clay.
