I will check the spacers as it catches one way but not the other. I may also post up a picture.
As very technical person their is no way I have built it anything less than 100% correct. :-)

Nice parts. 3 plate vented slipper looks nice, as does the rear aluminium upper arm mount, and weights.
I'm just trying to run the jpg through google translate to get the Japanese descriptions converted into english... ... B4-503L Lightweight machined for B-MAX4Ⅲ 40T ring gear for Giyadefu

I'll definitely take the slipper clutch. I'll leave the rear top link mount it's just bling though it would be nice and no doubt very expensive.

First on top left is a vented slipper plate option for stock slipper, second and third triple slipper pad and vented plates for it, still for the YZ2

Just finished building the YZ-2 - my first after many years.
The build was enjoyable and fairly straightforward. I'd advise having threadlock close at hand given how many metal parts there are. A minor point (and perhaps raised elsewhere): the two rear body posts are pictured in the manual as each having horizontal bodyclip holes whereas the moulded parts supplied have a vertical holes instead. There also appear to be two countersunk holes on the underside of the chassis near the rear hingepin brace that aren't used (at least on mine!). Does anyone know what these may relate to?

As for the body pin holes, not sure anyone actually uses them, most people tend to use velcro only.

I'd say the extra screw holes in the chassis are for when/if they release split RF suspension hangers.
Mibo have got pre orders for the rear camberlink mount for £45! Guess I won't be getting it then.

Always wondered about the option chassis holes! Id like the link, but its not needed at £45, would like to try that triple slipper unit though, why not!

£38.99 - nearly fell over! I thought itd be a £15-£20 upgrade, like the front upper arm mount is.
Think ill just stock up on the plastic spares instead! |

They are about £32 over here. Much better price.
Still expensive though. I'll buy if I win the lottery.

A direct conversion from the Yen price on the packaging puts it at around £16-20. The mark up is unbelievable Here. Rip off Britain.

Does anyone know if AE B5M wheels are the same 'offset' as the Yokomo 2wd wheels?? Ta

Yes they are identical offset. As are the JCONCEPTS. Anything made for the B5M.

Other than that, the new upgrades are kinda expensive (and don't make you faster). So blame Yokomo for that.. Or make the parts by yourself. :P

Well spotted, didn't even realise we had them listed, one of my members of staff was trying to be proactive, the exchange rate has moved massively from last time he worked any prices out. I have tweaked the prices as much as possible.
Skyaflake please remember the extra cost of shipping to the UK exchange rates and currency conversion costs. We will never be as cheap as Europe but will be VERY competitive in the UK and more importantly have the product IN STOCK. MB |

Yeah, lets not flame MB's prices, these guys are very accommodating, and lets face it, if you want it cheaper, go to Japan or HK and order there, you will always pay a premium in the UK, its the way of things, but whining about it is just pointless if you want the parts/kits at your door, in a timely fashion, and possibly without hidden customs charges.
Ive used MB a hell of a lot these past months, and there stock levels and pricing is spot on for me, looking forward to placing some more orders soon! lee
