I am afraid these posts are as "entertaining" as the bashing going on between Microsoft and Sony console gamers. I am a huge (non-sponsored) Yokomo fan, but have had kits by most manufacturers out there including Xray. I had actually contemplated buying the XT2, but now I may have to get a ton of idler gears for my YZ-4 instead...
Guys, we are all playing with expensive toy cars. At some point all manufacturers come to a point where there are some issues to be solved. So far I have been lucky with idler gears in all my cars except for the B5M with Redworkshop's LR gearbox where others had issues in their B-Max2s, Firebolts and RB/T6s, and now the YZ-4 as it seems; maybe this is down to my gentle trigger finger or the use of dryfluid, I don't know.
As long as the manufacturers fix their problems before long, I think it's part of the kits' evolution process. Xray had weak shock towers on their early XB4s, Yokomo had too hard outdrives on their first B-Max2. Both fixed these problems before most drivers ever noticed them.
I watched the first 2WD A-Final at the Nürburgring last Saturday and was happy for Marc Rheinard (I know him from our track and his brother's store) when Martin Wollanka rolled over and Marc took the lead again. When Lee Martin pulled his last turn move, I was excited, but even more so when I saw that Xray's Bruno Coelho was the first to congratulate him afterwards. If these guys, who earn their living on the track, manage to play nice in such a situation, why does it seem so hard to respect each other on one of the last few proper forums? Enjoy your hobby, I am done here. Over and out.
