things are moved to the back, I didn't get a proper photo of it because they didn't want one taking.

Works better over the bumpy stuff that's why the S4 has them there.

Sorry Mr "Northy", it's yours I think...
It was just for "zoom" on the modification...

Here you can find other picture of the race :

I understand they have gone back to the std kit mountings apart from Bradders shock mount although things can always change and usually do.

Hmmmm. I really wanted to get the Yokomo, but it just doesn't seem to have everything sorted out quite yet. All the rear end mods and changes going on. I don't want to drop the coin just to have to mod the car up myself....Maybe Yokomo should start stealing stuff from other cars...seems to be the trend lately...lol

I wouldn't worry about it, the Yok is sorted now.
All drivers are going to experiment with things in the search to shave that extra 1/10th of a second off a car. That's all this is. The std rear shock config is still blindingly quick.

I would be more worried if there was no development news. Yokomo have won 11 World Titles so they know a thing or two about developing cars.
