Default Yokomo at the worlds

Found a nice pic here
http://www.neobuggy.net/2013/09/23/u...-pains-yokomo/





Looks nice, hope to see his set up at some point.
What springs ais he using?



Heading the Asian challenge, Team Yokomo’s Naoto Matsukura said a change to the rear camber link on his B-Max2MR gave him more grip but the recently turned 20-year-old said he wants more. Happy with his own driving the Japanese star will make some more set-up tweaks for the controlled practice round.

Yes I was interested in the cnc machined Ali gearbox as well. I'm waiting for close-ups of Naoto's car.

Yeah I did, but was on my phone, so could't be bothered to type.

I want to see what Naoto is running. Not seen any shell-off pics of his car yet.

Yes, that'll finally end those "why is he using AE shocks" discussions...
I just installed them yesterday, and they're really nice - unlike chasing the tiny bleeder screw o-ring on black carpet!
Now I only wished I had some shock housings in the colour to match...

I think its just drilled to help with airflow and keep the pads a little cooler.

Full metal chassis


New rear tower or extra support
