Exactly... They did came out of nowhere an took TQ & 1st place at the worlds!!! My guess is that Yokomo is doing something right, heavy front end or not.

And then again, we all don't know what spring rates were used just by looking at a photo and knowing Yokomo we will know when the car hits the shops and then again. It still is possible that it is a completely different car than the ones used at the worlds...

Way back in '91 Masami used a "works91" version of a Yokomo 4wd buggy, it went in production but never exactly the same as the one he used there... So technical discussions are great but IMHO only when they are based on known facts. Not just speculating from some photo's...
