ZX RX TESTS

 YD2 Test Time but first lets run the RX Red and Black Twins 

These chassis are so fun fun because they are se stable and so equal. really fun tandems. 

The S14s are a bit dark. but when they are together they look great. 

Small details are lost in the colour scheme. 

the other chassis under the Supra is the YD-2 ZX. Im chasing a gyro issue in the ZX that I think is caused by play in the slide rack. but that process of elimination continues.  

Its Still extremely good and once that inconsistency is eliminated. It will be pretty unbeatable.  

Broz RX Twins and ZX Fun

 

FDs are back on track. always a good say when the scene is cool.  

Met some twins. Reve'D RD-Xs are pretty strong

They seem to be a pretty good benchmark and entry point. for a plastic chassis, they run well.

Battled all night with the YD2 twins  RX and ZX debut was pretty awesome. running lap after lap with great dynamics. 

The 86 is actually a pretty small body and the RX really needs a bit more width. Next time a body change. 

RX to ZX

I love the YD2 RX I have. Super Stable and very Fast. But there are times when you need that little more Aggression. I like to think that the RX is perfect Lead Run Competition Car. but in the chase... it's just lacking. 

So I decided to convert my 2nd RX to ZX configuration. 

4 parts. Required

1. Gearbox Case is the necessity $20

2. Motor Mount $35 but could probably run the original in reverse. 

2. Upper Deck is Optional item of course. $25 

4. Upper Deck 2 Gearbox mount. $10

gearbox swaps easy. a couple of extra screws were needed.

The result is almost the same, but just that little different. 

Spur Clearance is close so some modification is required.  Without replacing the RX chassis plate to ZX. The battery remains a few mm back.

I decided to mount the ESC on top of the chassis. using the Fan mount and a custom Carbon piece.

Starting to wire up old electronics.

Matching pair.ZX foreground and RX background. 

The upper deck is a slightly more complex design (left). I really need some new wire but for now its enough.

Lets rip it. 

Broz Ready.

 

Back from Japan, I am ignited with something. 

I tried the YD2-REX high battery version (with figures in the S14.) it's a good battle chassis and suits battles with Jay's YD2 SX3. 

Fun times.It now replaced by the RD2 "ZX" which was ready for action..

 The YD2-RX is still solid as every. It's just a cruiser. Was also to see Dave's S13 on track too. I may need to set my gold car up again.
