Geometry on the 4wd is different from the 2wd so the guide with the +1 wishbones isn't really correct.

We run the standard bmax arms with 1 x 1mm shim in rear shocks with no issues of popped shafts.

Default Servo install

Just building my yz2 but can't work out servo horn positioning. I've fitted the 1mm spacer on servo mounts as my servo measures about 16-17mm from under tab to top of spline. Running savox servo.
Fitted shorter servo horn and centred it so its 90 degree to servo body, however when I fit into car the steering is way out (too far to one side)
Do I need to fit the horn off centre? Can't see the manual tells you to do that though.

Fit the long horn 1 notch to the left of centre use spacers to get the servo as far forward as possible befor the rack catches the horn

Confused.com! Just moved servo to forward position (both spacers behind lugs), fitted longest horn and one click to the left. Horn still hits the front bulkhead....

What servo are you using? i recently wired a yz2 for a club member with a savox full sized servo and had to use no spacers, and just smooth the edge of the bulkhead where the horn just hit with a knife. Savox seem to have a slightly different off set and shaft postion to other brands.

You may well have just answered it as I'm running a savox full size servo (1270 I think)

Just to add, I run an Xpert servo and I also had to shave a bit off the bulkhead as it was touching.

I run a Savox 1257 full servo and i used no spacers, long horn, and slightly offset to left. Didn't touch the bulkhead but was mighty close. I think I also have some sub trim on the tx

Yes noticed the alloy front hubs, more bling!

Is this the right slipper plate for the stock slipper clutch?

Just want to replace the outer slipper plate

Alloy caster blocks felt quite heavy, compared to plastics. Shin had them for team drivers in in anodised alloy. Lee's were anodised. They look trick.
