Are the geared diffs available anywhere as a complete set? So they can be fitted to the older models? Assuming they do fit of course :)

Do you mean the 2+2 pistons? According to their website the Associated ones are a direct fit. (AE, Losi, Kyo, Yok)
Available e.g. from Avid's shop or amainhobbies.

How does the new Yoke drive & feel compared to the XB4?

I like the shocks on the Yokomo more than I do on the X-Ray. Easier to build and adjust.

Despite the weak hingepins on the III (guess it will be fixed), the car is great. Less initial weak spots on the III than on the XB4.
The slipper on the III, imo, is better than the XB4. Both drivetrains are really smooth.

Both drive really great out of the box. Both cars are top quality and in the end there is not so many difference. Just personal preference.

Compared to the II, there are a lot of improvements on the III. Car is so much better.

I tryed mine for the first time this weekend at Skien, Norway on carpet and it felt some much smoother and easy to drive than the II!

I qualified for the A and ended up at 6'place.

The car is much quicker arround the corners and it is so out-of-the-box-car:-)

The slipper. is from another world, it is smooooth! The old one was no good at all.

The car is very solid also!

Recomended!

Any idea where to get yellow front rims with 12mm hex for this car?

mes	16-12-2013 05:38 PM

Team Yokomo Europe might be worth a try. ;)

Wheel wise, I have fitted the smaller front hex from the older car and this allows me to fit associated wheels. The newer AE rear wheels are 12mm hex. I think the offset on Schumacher wheels us different. Kyosho front wheels fit perfectly too but the rears need drilled out to 5mm and you need to put a washer behind the nut.

When using Kyosho wheels front, is it the same offset? I use TLR22 rear...

All Yokomo dealers are able to supply you with the new wheels. :thumbsup:

Yes they are pretty much spot on. I am changing to the older smaller hex so I can use AE wheels all round.

It was a track just made for a weekend in Skien, Norway. It was a small/midium track on carpet with mid. jumps. I used a 6.5t without timing.

I bought the car and some parts from Yokomo.eu, but the shipping for just wheels are to expensive from yokomo.eu. 15 Euros! (Amain 0.59usd!)

Amain and Japan race and drift are out of stock.

Same offset on the Kyoshowheels?

I have used the 10mm now, but had some problems with the pins this weekend and want to make the move to 12mm ;-)
