Show us your YZ-2
 

Thought I'd start this off... :thumbsup:

Just finished shot:

One can wonder so I can run it while my main shell is being painted.

Install:

Still a bit of room to play with, I may rewire it to get receiver flat, rotating speedo.

Need to take some proper shots before it gets too used.

Here is mine after it's first meeting yesterday. Shell is on it's way from the painter, will stick a post up once it's mounted.

I am going to get rid of the mounted for body clips, but the way my wires stick out my motor, they push my shell up a little so they have been quite handy in keeping the shell down. Going to probably upgrade to the Sanwa 471 receiver for more room also. :thumbsup:

Great looking guys. Will post mine up here when I get the body back from painting. Car is built and (almost) ready to go.

what an amazing looking buggy! I just have to convince my wife to let me get another buggy since I just bought a Team C TM2 and a BMAX2 V3 haha

Will do when i pick it up and build it Neil :)

Here's mine hope it goes as good as it looks :)

Looking good guys! Got my chassis together, just need to fit the front arms/shocks, but i did spend some time playing with the install!
Ive found the best way for me, is my HW3.1 on the left, RX451 on the right, both mounted side by side, and all i have to do id shave about 2mm off the aerial mount, small price to pay!
With my low pro Savox, ive a nice little space for the cap and wiring, its tight, but i reckon i can get a happy set up haha!
The build is sweet, glides together!

It was a big squeeze for mine with the full size servo and orion r10. The body shell hasn't got a lot of clearance for motor wires and sensor lead apart from that one of the best builds and quality I have seen in 20 years! Can't wait to run it now gonna try kit setup first and hope it's almost right. Is everyone running rear shocks on the front?

Ive built shocks front but im tempted to change as im told its more stable rear?? Any clues guys as on that im a bit lost!

Lee

Front for high and med grip and rear for slippy I think mate. The damping and springs feel a bit soft out the kit for high grip so shocks on front should be fine for most carpet and astro tracks. I'm running mine at maritime for first run and that's a mix of slippy and high grip so I dunno lol

Car was very stable and balanced shocks rear for me. not tried forward yet as not been on a high(er) grip track. Choice depends on track type you run on? Rear isn't a bad choice for starters. next club meeting I'll try it forward.

I went with 500/400CST oils with kit pistons rather than the included 400/300CST oils.

Thanks Dan/Neil, think ill stick with front as im on carpet with high grip!
Was going 45 on oil all round, have to be kit springs, need to order springs as it goes!
Hey im still a novice so time will tell, but i love this thing build and design wise, pics soon boys haha!

I ran carpet with shocks on front, however the carpet had been unused for 5 weeks and was slightly damp. Car still gripped well cornering but under hard acceleration it wanted to break away.

Unfortunately we only had 4 heats and were pushed for time so I didn't have the opportunity to move shock position. I went with kit oil, however i went for Yatabe orange front (4wd) springs and yatabe green (4wd) rear.

Due to the way the carpet was yesterday, I am going for shocks on rear and back to kit springs for this weekend until I get some option springs.

Regardless of the acceleration issue, I just needed to be careful on corner exit, however I still won the A by a lap. :thumbsup:

Here's mine, just finished the wiring. It's tight but got there in the end.
Just waiting for the the shell to be painted. Can't wait to run it.

I had a go of one at Benfield (slippy floor and carpet) and it had the shocks on the front. The only change that was made from kit setup was it has 350cst in the back shocks instead of 300cst and it was superb.

Mines ready but I'm just waiting for the shell.

And did it push on?

I'll do a run at worksop shocks forward to try it.

Here is mine. Build quality is on another scale.

Electrics were a bit of a squeeze but got there.

Worksop at weekend for it's maiden voyage.

Here it is with the shell back.

I like that Red Workshop sticker Dave !

Mine is built but waiting for the shell and thinner wire, space is tight with a full size servo.

Nope, very balanced but bordering on twitchy. Loads of traction, my only concern with running the shocks on the back is that the car will push and will feel numb. Worksop isn't exactly an ice rink either so I think shocks on the back will make it slower over a lap. The only time the shocks will be on the back of mine is Batley outdoor.

Gutted I'm not there to run mine.

You may be in for a shock at the next Batley outdoor Regional...

I approve of the colour scheme... real men run pink....

Tried mine tonight at Silverstone running Tom's setup. Was excellent, so agile, precise and planted... bags of grip... couldn't ask for more...

Shells now done in my normal paint scheme, courtesy of Ndesign... :D

Anyone had one on some weight distribution scales yet? Interested to see how it compares to a standard mid motor car. It'll obviously have a lower centre of gravity though!

Please Yokomo, lets have some pink rims, can't argue about pink haha, and i can't be doing anymore RIT dyeing, its tedious!

Question, did anybody order spare Z2-415SA steering links? I did, but only got one in the packet? Are they single, or in pairs, just seemed odd to be a singular part was all.

Ill finish the build this week and move on to pretty pictures.

lee

I slap you for using red locktight!:p

243 is blue it's just an older bottle ;)

Yeah i did, and yes i queried the single part with MB. all their stock was single part in packet. The yokomo image for the part shows a pair however.

For pink rims, take a look at DE Racing's speedline series. I got some green ones for my future T5M, which will get a Monster Energy paintjob. Their quality is top notch, I liked them better on my RT-6 than the Kyosho ones.

Do you know if the offset is ok? Always fancied some red ones myself.

Ha shows how long ive been using it for.

Heres minehttp://s3.postimg.org/9h2ed65kj/20150120_111517.jpg

Sorry if its large, ill resize when im home.

Offset on their T4 rims is exactly the same as on the JConcepts Monos, so I'd guess that their AE B4.2 wheels will be ok. :)

Dont quite follow the logic. Do b4.2 wheels have same offset as the yz2 then?

They're spot on Danny. I used them last year. Them and the JCONCEPTS wheels.

Sorry, I meant that they seem to stick to the other manufacturers tolerances. B4 hex wheels were what I had been running on my B-Max2 since day one in the rear. They are basically the 2016 Ifmar standard wheels.

Yokomo and AE 12mm hex wheels seem to be the exact same mould, apart from the yokomo have "yokomo" logo moulded on the outside.

I use AE, Yok and JCONCEPTS on my car. Even TLR 22 rears have the same offset.

Spoilt for choice

are these wheels for the yz-2? Oh wells... got 2 full sets of black Schumacher wheels so wont be getting new wheels for a while... :yawn:
