They are supposedly a tuning option for low grip conditions. I had them on my B-Max2 back in the day and initially also on my YZ-2, but only installed the ones I had bought for my YZ-4 for a single race on loose dirt. You don't risk stripping a thread on the venting holes, but that's about it.

I have been running it. What I noticed is that the main difference is punch at the start of a run. Meaning that the center diff has slightly less punch at the onset of a full trigger pull, but the end of the pull it has all the power that a slipper has. This does NOT seem to effect lap times as the consistency is exactly the same from the beginning to the end of a 10 minute run. With the stock slipper sometimes it seemed to fade in punch at the ends of the run. Once you get used to the feel, it is much better for consistency, at least in my case, I have actually had my fastest and most consistent lap times at our local track with the center diff installed

Not liking what I’m hearing about yokomo titanium screws! Lol. You have the RDRP shock mounts? How are they holding? The stock 3x22 screw on the front(both) are slightly bent.... so me having the ones that come wirh the kit(titanium) definitely will not last lol. And about the turnbuckles, I had plans on buying the turnbuckles at the local track, yokomos version. But now I’m just thinking of getting the J concerts version of turnbuckles. What’s the part number?

Center slipper or convert to gear diff for a high bite indoor clay track?

JCO2557 This is for the yz2 but should work for the yz4sf, at least I hope lol ordered a set as the first set looks good on my YZ2. The RDRP shock towers seem to be working fine, nothing bent yet, I did just get them installed as I just got back from the USA and got to try everything out. The racing performer screws are legit, I just left steel screws in on anything aluminum, the hinge pin holders, servo mounts and such. Steel is stronger but heavier, so leaving like 10 screws in is really no big deal. When I did put the new standoffs on my screws were also bent lol. The only real issue I noticed is that the RDRP stand offs seem a bit longer, the front shocks seem to be at a slight angle but nothing that seems to worry me as I was able to get my fastest laptime ever at our local track this past Sunday

I am using the center diff for mod medium bite clay. I am using 1 million fluid in it and it is essential for this setup!

Yes. That's why I want to make the change, get rid of the initial hard grab a slipper has, then the fade as it gets used during a race. I can feel it lose its functionality especially in longer mains. It will go in this week before Wednesday. Thanks. You running the stock 200K?

Guys just wondering if the shock seals are the same size as Kyosho or AE?
