Available as lightweight aluminium or heavy steel variant, the cross-shaped stiffeners not only help to adjust the torsional stiffness of the rear chassis area in various ways, the the steel variant also adds a certain weight which can be beneficial in both low and high-grip track conditions, as it can increase traction while also countering traction rolling. The stiffeners are available separately and they are a direct fit.

Trion YZ-2 quick release battery mount

Trion have introduced their new quick release battery mount for the Yokomo YZ-2 series of buggies. The set includes machined 4mm carbon fibre battery locators that feature hooks to utilise O-rings to strap the battery into the chassis. Doing so allows for quicker battery changes without the need to use additional tools while also allowing the battery to float a bit within the mount which makes for more natural torsional flex of the chassis. Last but not least allow the O-rings to use batteries of different height without having to adjust and braces or other stationary battery locators. The battery mount must be used with the Yokomo Z2-002SPT side plates.
