Remarks – Versatile Portuguese talent Bruno Coelho took the Slovakian manufacturer back to victory in the 2wd class at the wheel of the 2019 version of their XB2 buggy. Equipped with Hiro Seiko screws, his car is also fitted with aluminium steering rack and rear hubs. Bruno was also running some Xray options coming to the market in the next days, such as aluminium shock towers, titanium turnbuckles and a carbon battery strap. To improve the flex he cut the reinforcements in the rear brace.

Chassis Focus – Lee Martin

Chassis: Yokomo YZ-2-CAL2
Motor: Scorpion 5.5T
ESC: Scorpion Vanguard
Batteries: Team Yokomo 3500mAh
Radio/Servo: Sanwa/Xpert
Tires: Schumacher (handout)
Body: JConcepts F2

Remarks – Former EOS champion Lee Martin is running a revised version of the YZ-2-CAL2 that is equipped with a number of pre-production parts. The new chassis is stronger – and therefore reduces flex – in the rear section, while the Truck battery mount system is used to confer more flex to the central part of the buggy. The rear gearbox is also new and features a quick access to the differential that can be now adjusted in height so as to vary the roll centre. The shock towers are lower, and the rear shocks shorter. Lee was also using the front bulkhead from the Yokomo Truck which makes the front part of the chassis stronger.
