Looks like you can use the Dirt Spec gearbox etc on the Bmax2....

...and the B-Max2 MR gearbox as a 4-gear option on the DT. I still hope they'll do a new 4-gear transmission with the shock tower in the rear like on the B5M for loose dirt tracks, but maybe this shock tower position can be achieved with a spacer.
Is it March yet? Last edited by mes; 02-02-2016 at 04:15 AM. |

Does anyone know if there will be a conversion kit to go from the "old" YZ-2 to either of the two new ca or dt versions?

yes, i have asked this to Michal from Mibo , for the carpet edition there will be 3 parts that need to be bought to convert. the dirt edition is not possible. to much difference, also in chassis plate.

In that case it might be worth trying the 3 gear version on the Astro. The only thing I would have to try is how the 3 gear goes on damp Astro as I can't remember that many dry days at Bury last year!!!

Weight will shift less along the longitudinal axis when accelerating or braking with 3-gear. I don't know if this is better or worse in the wet, but my first thought was to get the DT as a wet car due to its more rearward weight bias and ball diff.

Just the gearbox, idler gear and motor plate? Hm, if I add the other gearbox internals and a new body, I'll want to have a new kit anyway.

There will be a possibility to buy the 'upgrade' to 3gear in one package.
I'll be probably trying the 3gear, according to Lee Martin it should be easier to drive, even for the less talented

Good to hear. I'll see what I make of all these nice options to spend my money on. Maybe I'll make a wet car out of the std YZ-2 instead of the DT.

I was thinking of a new dirt for the wet and just get a 3 gear box for my existing yz2....

CA scheduled for early March, DT scheduled for late in March, both in time for Easter!

So, just to make sure I understand, the standard YZ2 can take the DT rear end, but not the CA. However, the existing YZ2 is already OK on carpet so I'm not too worried about that.
I mostly run on slippery wood floor (indoors), or sandy astroturf outdoors (both of which can have a tendency for low grip) so the DT rear end might help me? Or have I got this the wrong way around?
