Yokomo yz-2

[spurry05]

Hi is the older yz-2 the same as the carpet edition looks pretty much the same

[Prbanks]

Different gearboxes

[spurry05]

So there's a difference then

[Prbanks]

Yes, the earlier one is a 4 gear the ca is a 3 gear. The earlier one can be converted though

[yokomoyz2]

Ye the ca is a 3 gear. The original yz2 was a 4.i found the 4 gear was easy er to drive on high grip.

[spurry05]

So is the layout the same ? Like motor position and stuff
So is it basically the same but 4 gear

So ok for indoor high grip carpet?

[Prbanks]

Google some images mate

[spurry05]

Tried that I couldn't really tell

[Prbanks]

The motor plates are on different sides.

[spurry05]

So are we saying if you put a 3 gear on the original yz-2 it became a Carpet edition??

[Prbanks]

Pretty much yeah

[buggy#0]

Not the only change, different arms and driveshafts, lightweight shell. Retrofitting a 3 gear to the original car is easily done though.

Not sure about that, but IIRC the CA also has the wider rear suspension, Yatabe springs and larger ball bearings in the bellcranks. The chassis is predrilled to accept the DT gearbox and has updated sideguards for the DT's more rearward battery position. Bottom line, the CA is a comprehensive update that is prepared to accept a DT rear end.
