Did the chassis protector do the job?

So how are people finding the new car?
KF or 22 or in between?
I don't mean build quality,Iv got a BD7 ❤️

For me the YZ2 got tons of steering with the stability of a mid motor (especially under braking).
Very nice on carpet, very predictable but stable and very precise steering wise, I like it a lot.
Traction could be an issue, got to find out how the car handles on bumpy and wet astro with a good setup.
So far so good.

Been testing today at Robin Hood Raceway. The car was awesome on the bumpy astro. Really safe and predictable and holds such a tight line on power. So good infact that im gonna motor up to a 6.5

I've just finished building mine today! Can't wait to get it on track and test it!

Likewise. First fit of wiring wouldn't fit the shell so had to have another go, but all the gubbins are now safely ensconced.

Roll on Sunday

You definitely doing Batley Sunday?? I'm off into work tomorrow to do the wiring. The big resistor pack that comes on the SP Pro isn't helping the fit. Did you try with the receiver on top on the servo???
Cause I did and I couldn't get the body shell to go on!

Wow guys, I ran my YZ-2 for the first time tonight at West Bridgford. I hadn't raced off-road for almost 18 months and this was intended to be a simple shakedown in readiness for the Mid-East BRCA regional series which starts next Sunday.

The car was simply awesome 1st time out. Really stable, I could really push it through the corners, excellent high-speed turn-in, just needs a bit more at low speed (some weight in the nose will help there). I can't believe the speed in this car and can't wait to start tuning the set-up.

Danny Harrison · #75 07-03-2015

A bit of weight infront of the servo and under the lipo works a treat. Look on LMR website next week for some nice trick weights

Sir Shawny500 · #76 07-03-2015

Here's my YZ-2 ready for its 1st run out tomorrow!!!!

I was running the under-LiPo weight I picked up from you at Worksop a couple of weeks ago, but yes the next move will be some weight up front.

Rear shocks were forward for this 1st run, so will also be doing a comparison by running them at the back next week.

You will find less steering with them on the rear. Lee Martin ran them on the rear at EOS and the setup is available on the LMR website.

I think the majority of the time they will be run on the rear unless you are running super high grip.

What is the grip like at your club?

The Doctor · #79 10-03-2015

Our carpet is fairly low grip, and with them on the front the set-up was pretty good. Will try a comparison with them on the rear this week.

They are fine on the front as long as your punch isn't too high. Our carpet is also low grip and with them on the front I struggled to get power down but sorted that by just turning the punch right down.

Let us know how it goes.
