So my understanding is the yz-4 may be released after the ifmar world's. Does the buggy not have to be in production already if it were to be used in the worlds... Or maybe that was an assumption it would be used in the world's

Pretty sure there is no rule about cars having to be commercially available (if that is what you mean?) at IFMAR events so IF they use a new car it could be in prototype or pre-production form?

I'm pretty sure that's only a rule in a stock class.

That's a rule in "real" racing, not when racing with model cars. :p

There will be some info on the Yz4 soon. Just wait a bit. :lol:

It will be the 4WD equivalent of the YZ-2, that's good enough for me.
Shut up and take my money already, TY! :thumbsup:

Got to see the car doing a few laps last night @ Maritime it looked very good, sorry no close up shots of the car but here is one of the master at work.

Lee did say we would not have long to wait :thumbsup:

Is it me or is Shin now becoming the Adrian Newey of the RC world? His designs etc just seem to be golden.

They were testing at Torch on Sunday as welll with Carson Wernimont, was he at Maritime as well? Looks like a release will be soon.

Yes he was there.

Great :thumbsup: How silent is the car? Just curious ;)

Of course, I'm getting a YZ4. Would be great next to the last belt driven Yokomo, the MR4-BX.

I heard a mouse pass wind over the sound of the car ;)

it IS belt drive if thats what you are getting at.

badger5 16-09-2015 11:19 AM

Going by the bodyshell looks like the spur gear is towards the rear, will be very interesting to see the layout.

s22jgs 16-09-2015 11:26 AM

I could tell you as i was sitting next to Carson, but they will release the info when they are ready.

I know :p But the most pleasing for me is that they are racing the car at the moment. Probably working on the latest improvements and a kit setup.

Carson is a great addition for the US market. I hope Amain will take some more stuff in stock now :lol:

Yz4
 
The Maritime rumour mill is on fire!

I grabbed a sneak peak as well and was surprised by a couple of things on car. I have put my ordering in though as it does look supercool!

Now that has brought teasing to a new level you sod, bet it will be good though.

We may see more Friday if they decide to run it at the Eos which looks likely given all the testing the past few days :thumbsup:
