Yz4 idler issues

Hi
What is the problem with the idler gear and is there anything one it way to replace?

I broke a front one once, at a club meeting. Marc Reinhard broke a rear one at EOS. If something breaks it gets swapped, no biggie. Parts on all cars break from time to time.

No one is running AE parts, as has been claimed elsewhere, but if they did, good for them. I don't even know if it fits?

Not to my knowledge, the top table team were not. If someone else was at the meeting then then good for them.
Lee was running AE ball cups on both cars after having some yokomo parts fail in the heat at the last euros. Shin was testing new ball cup parts. I had a kit one bend, but not break completely at EOS, so i'm pretty happy to see the product cycle in effect to solve an issue that has come up.

If there is an issue with the idlers, then i'm sure this will be corrected, as they always have done. Personally I've not had any problems, except for breaking one in a club meeting with a 5.0T motor and a pretty hard landing off a jump.

Its would be good to see a person from the Xray factory team reply to a Xray car question rather a yokomo one ?

so would it be fair to say jumping your yz4 buggy is now not allowed?

maybe touring car tracks might suit the yz4 better?

could we get a team driver to confirm this?

There are no team drivers active on Oople. You could ask it on Facebook, but I expect they won't answer it. But you never know.

Oh I stick to KYOSHO and xray then as Nick caro always available and so is bentka

Even had a response when I asked tebo for help

If you watch the EOS videos back you will see the car can jump and takes them as well as anything, it was TQ at the end of the day.

I've done one idler so far but that was due to a bearing going on the topshaft. I ran at the last weekends EOS and had no problems with breakages on the YZ-4.

Thanks
