I ran the 22-4 last year, almost put me off racing! To be fair to it, it was nice to drive, just isn't suited to the high grip tracks we have in the UK, it struggles to get the last half a second a lap out of it.
The YZ4, it's early days, I've only been to two meetings so far, but am loving it. Seems to drive somewhere between my '13 spec XB4 that I ditched the 22-4 to go back to & the Durango 410 I ran before that, which is probably the best car I've had.

Hi all,
Put mine through its paces and have a couple of queries:
1. It's terrible on jumps - noses down all the time, and requires full throttle in the air to even keep it able to land... Is anyone else finding this? I have tried moving weight as far back as possible!?
2. Struggling for rear traction... Though more toe has improved this along with weight!
3. I see there is a LOT of play in the front arm inner mounts as the inserts move in the Ali mount... Anyone finding this a problem? I added 1.5mm spacer in front before the brace but now everything has slop! I see the team guys at the Worlds had a different front brace that clamped around the chassis.
Thanks,
Dave

Cant help with point 3. Mines not sloppy at all. Sorry.

For point 1&2 it sounds as though you have too much anti squat. Try looking at the rear suspension mounts. Check to see if they are the right way up and that you are using what the instructions recommend. There are parts in the kit which are not used.

Thanks for the idea re. Antisquat, I am using front insert high and rear using 2ho high I think!? I could swap the front to low? My current setup is very close to kit std!

I ran the stock set up for 10 laps and instantly switched to a Lee Martins setup (as close as I could get it without upgraded parts). I would go with a non stock setup route.
after 2 days of running my car had tons of drag. I took out the diffs and my front one was feeling still new. I swapped out the bevel gears for some used ones and it was a night and day difference.
might also run your belts as loose as possible.
