YZ-2 suggested spares?
 
Hi guys, my YZ-2 is on pre-order (yipee!) and I wanted to ask you whether in your experiences so far there are any spares you would recommend having in the pit box just in case of a breakage.

I tend not to be a car breaker, but I don't want to get stuck without a spare part at a meeting, especially considering these are still fairly new kits and there aren't too many around just yet (especially at club events).

So far I've only ordered a set of solid drive pins (because I'm not a fan of the roll-pin type which comes as standard) and some Yatabe springs for tuning purposes.

Cheers all.

I've not broken anything as yet, seems every bit as solid as the bmax2.

Sounds good, Miss Daisy. :p

I haven't broke anything yet either after 4 meetings, I've got the usual front and rear shock towers and arms waiting just in case. The one other part I chose to stock up on is the carbon plate for the ball stud mount on the steering. Looks a little flimsy to me, but only time will tell.

Cheers

Yeah that stood out to me too. Time will tell, I guess.

Was on phone before. I ordered that steering block plate, plus front steering blocks, C hubs, rear hubs, wishbones F+R, front shock tower, front bulkhead, idler gear. I had other parts like ball studs, rod ends, shock tops and bottom eyes already. All still unopened in bags.

I think you are most likely to break a rod end, based on my experience with bmax2 and 4. It's a solid car.

Nothing's broken yet..

Usual front end bits and wishbones I reckon, although I can't see much breaking!

Would definitely recommend the machined pistons tho!

Thanks guys, a set of spare rod ends is also on my order.
