Well, a mixed bag really. We ran a practice night with just four quali rounds.
Car felt far too soft first run lots of roll, this was on kit springs, with 3mm spacers in the front shocks, 1mm in the rear to limit the droop. Geared diff, yuck, too inconsistent for me.
Changed to kit rear spring and Yatabe orange front for the second round, but all i had to give it its first nights run was a set of rear M4 Proline Pin points, not the best tyre at all, way too hard, but hey, its what i had to hand just to get it on the carpet.
Car had great steering, just too loose/soft in the rear and wanted to break away in the faster sweepers.
Third round, tried Yatabe orange front, 10g of weight in the rear of the chassis and went as excessive as purple rear, way to hard, on the geared diff the car felt way too lairy in the rear, but improved by a lap, it was getting there.
Fourth round, Yatabe Orange front 450 cst and Yatabe Orange 400 cst rear, now 20g of weight in the rear, a lot better, still battling with the diff on 3000 cst, but it did feel much more balanced, showed flashes of being quick, but the lack of bite from the tyres didnt give me much confidence, it was at this point i broke an arm, soooo, mixed bag, and ill persevere with it, jumped well, but wow this thing is so light on shorty!
Ive fitted the ball diff for the next meet, for me that seems the better option, as i think it will calm the car down and make it more predictable out of corners, seemed to have a lot of diff out coming into corners and way aggressive out.
Im no pro in set up, still much the noob, i do love this thing, but i did miss using the YZ2 lol.
Bests.......lee
