Yz2 --yz2ca

[martinw76]

Has anyone worked out how much the parts are to convert the standard yz2 to the yz2 carpet/astro ?

[bigt]

about £30 to try the gear box MB have a kit in

NMibosport lists the following new parts:

YZ-2 Carpet/Astro Edition new parts:
! Not only 3-gear transmission is changed !
· Z2-302C3 - 3-gear transmission case set
· Z4-008RS4 - Rear suspension arm S4 (YZ-4, longer Arms)
· B2-010R - Universal drive shaft (B-MAX2, longer Bones)
· Z2-201BA2 - Bellcrank (larger 10×5 Ball Bearing, more strong)
· Z2-0022 - Main Chassis for CA/DT
· Z2-002SP2 - Side plate for CA/DT
· Z2-101L - Light weight Body (better in high traction conditions)
· Shock spring (F/YAS-825, R/YAS-1050) for high traction use. YZ-2 has included the all round type which is YS-A type

If you already have the Yatabe springs and converted to the wide rear end, the 3-gear set Z2-302C3 should be all you need, except maybe the LW body. If you have issues with the steering bearings, the new bellcranks will solve that.

The new chassis is different, the rear end is narrower to accept the narrower wishbone hangers from the YZ4 as an option. It also has the holes to accept the Dirt 3 gear gearbox. The chassis side pods are different, again matching the new part of the DT car.
The alloy steering cranks are a newer design to accept the 5x10x4mm bearings, an improvement over the original with the smaller bearings that wore out quickly.

Anything else, most will have upgraded their current YZ2 to anyway, I'd have thought.

I'd just get a fresh one and build it.
